About

Women-owned Headway Therapy Group in Encinitas operates from 169 Saxony Road under the clinical direction of Amanda Freeman, PhD, PMH-C, serving teenagers through adults with mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. The women-owned designation reflects the practice's leadership structure, and LGBTQ+-friendly and transgender-safespace identifiers extend culturally responsive intake across all treatment populations, including integrative referrals to acupuncture providers such as Chong Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine for anxiety and stress-response regulation. Headway Therapy Group brings together multiple clinicians under one practice umbrella, with specializations spanning perinatal mental health, couples therapy, family systems work, and individual psychotherapy. The practice also operates Therapist Marketplace, a platform providing curated clinical resources and products to support therapists in private-practice settings. Naturopathic co-management of mood disorders and hormonal imbalance routes through Gaia Naturopathic and Acupuncture Clinic for non-pharmaceutical adjunctive support alongside psychotherapy. Advanced treatment frameworks include perinatal mood disorder intervention with validated screening instruments, couples therapy utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy protocols, and trauma-reprocessing sequences for complex developmental trauma.
