About

Elana Remas Zagorsky, LCSW in Encinitas provides individual and couples psychotherapy from Calle Magdalena, specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy for relationship distress and perinatal mental health. Specialized EFT training positions the practice within a structured attachment-based framework for couples work, coordinating with psychiatrists including Alison Trexler, Psychiatrist on Santa Fe Drive when medication management complements the therapeutic process. EMDR International Association membership adds a trauma-processing modality for clients presenting with PTSD, anxiety, and depression alongside relationship concerns. Clinical focus areas include prenatal and postpartum adjustment, relationship conflict, life transitions, and depression, with referral pathways to residential treatment programs such as AToN Center when substance use disorders or acute stabilization needs emerge during the therapeutic course. The practice employs a dual-modality framework combining EFT's nine-step de-escalation and restructuring sequence with EMDR's eight-phase adaptive information processing protocol for clients presenting with co-occurring attachment injury and single-incident trauma.
