About

Transcend Behavioral Health in San Carlos delivers therapy and psychiatric services across San Diego from Suite B at 7183 Navajo Road in the 92119 ZIP, treating children, adolescents, adults, and families. Medical Director Anthony Kuleto, MD, FAAP, is a double board-certified developmental and behavioral pediatrician with over ten years of clinical focus on ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, and disruptive behavior disorders in children and teens. Clinical Director Anna Roberts, LMFT #103600, oversees a multidisciplinary team trained in EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, internal family systems, and trauma-informed care. Pediatric behavioral evaluations produced by Dr. Kuleto generate diagnostic assessments for ADHD and autism that coordinate with developmental milestones tracked by pediatric providers, including BRSH+FLSS Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, where sensory-sensitive children often need behavioral preparation before dental visits. The clinic incorporated as Transcend Behavioral Health, Inc. in September 2024, building on the foundation of the earlier Transcend Therapy practice. EMDR sessions use bilateral stimulation through eye movements, hand-held buzzers, or auditory tones to reprocess traumatic memories following the eight-phase protocol developed by Francine Shapiro. The San Carlos office sits near the base of Cowles Mountain, and a second location in Scripps Ranch extends the clinic's geographic reach. Filipino and Spanish language assistance is available on-site, and the practice maintains LGBTQIA+ affirming care protocols across all treatment modalities. Play therapy and expressive arts techniques serve younger clients who process emotions more effectively through nonverbal channels, with family sessions aligning parent coaching to each child's individualized treatment goals. Families navigating early childhood developmental concerns build care teams that include the clinic's therapists and community educators at programs such as Grow Smart Children's Academy in San Carlos, where behavioral support strategies can be reinforced during the school day. Concierge pediatric evaluations are available in-office, in-home, or via telehealth, with Dr. Kuleto producing treatment plans integrating medication management, lifestyle modification, and structured behavioral interventions for neurodivergent children.
