California PSY 10849 holder Craig Carlson PHD brings neurobiology-informed couples and addiction counseling to downtown San Diego from his Broadway office. His therapeutic framework applies interpersonal neurobiology research to map how attachment-system activation drives conflict escalation in intimate relationships, a mind-body integration philosophy that complements the private mindfulness instruction at On the Mat with Allison in Bankers Hill. The addiction-treatment track addresses substance dependence, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring depression and anxiety through individualized strategies that blend motivational interviewing with cognitive restructuring. Executive coaching clients returning for periodic support as new career or relational challenges emerge benefit from a continuity-of-care model that integrates physical-wellness benchmarks, often tracked in coordination with strength-and-conditioning programs at Balanced Fitness & Health downtown. Complex dual-diagnosis presentations require concurrent addiction and relational intervention using neurobiologically informed affect-regulation protocols to address limbic-system hijacking during high-conflict couple interactions.
