About

Ryan Halquist practices at Coronado Psych on Orange Avenue in Coronado under California psychology license PSY 27221, bringing a PsyD from the California Institute of Integral Studies and chemical-dependency internship training completed within the Kaiser Permanente system from 2011 to 2015. Substance-abuse treatment uses both abstinence-focused and harm-reduction frameworks, and recovery-oriented caseloads integrate exercise-as-intervention referrals to community fitness environments such as CrossFit Coronado when structured physical programming supports sobriety maintenance and mood stabilization. A WPATH-registered provider, the practice offers affirming psychotherapy for LGBTQ+ individuals addressing gender identity, sexual-identity exploration, self-acceptance, and relationship dynamics including consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous partnerships. Trauma-informed care coordinates with somatic-recovery specialists such as One Life Physical Therapy on Coronado Island when body-based trauma responses require physical rehabilitation alongside cognitive-behavioral processing. Treatment modalities span cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, family-systems exploration, depth work, and motivational interviewing calibrated to each client's readiness-for-change stage within the transtheoretical model.
