About

For perinatal mental health support in Encinitas, Becky Stuempfig holds California LMFT license 46563 and specializes in postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders from her Calle Magdalena practice. The University of San Diego Marital and Family Therapy graduate completed clinical training at UCSD Family Medicine and Hospice of the North Coast, building a referral network that includes maternal-health physicians such as Diane Hutchison, MD. Grief and loss therapy addresses bereavement, miscarriage, and life-transition distress using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and solution-focused brief therapy adapted to each client's coping profile. Outdoor walking therapy sessions through Encinitas's coastal neighborhoods provide a kinesthetic alternative to the traditional office setting, a body-movement integration approach that runs parallel to the perinatal acupuncture protocols at Petal & Point Wellness. Postpartum Support International directory listing and specialized PMAD training certify the practice for Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale administration and fourth-trimester mood-disorder triage across the prenatal-to-twelve-month postpartum window.
