Licensed clinical psychologist and executive coach M'Lissa Trent, Ph.D., sees clients at 1337 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014 — a counseling office along the village's main commercial corridor. Dr. Trent holds over 25 years of experience in private practice and works with individuals, couples, and families using an integrative, systemic approach that draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and relational therapy models. She also provides EMDR trauma work, which uses bilateral stimulation to help clients process and resolve distressing memories. A distinctive aspect of her practice is couples counseling conducted alongside her husband, Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D., a fellow licensed psychologist. Married for over 25 years, the pair bring both male and female perspectives to sessions and draw on their own long-term partnership to model the communication skills they teach. Dr. Trent is also recognized as an ADHD expert and provides executive coaching tailored specifically to business professionals — including those managing ADHD — who want to improve performance, decision-making, and workplace communication. Her service menu spans depression and anxiety therapy, pre-marital counseling, separation and divorce therapy, family therapy, grief counseling, addiction and recovery support, conflict resolution, and stress management. She sees teenagers through adults. Appointments are available Monday and Wednesday from 8 AM to 8 PM, Tuesday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Her office shares the 1337 Camino Del Mar address with Denise Ross, MA, MFT, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, who practices from Suite E in the same building.
