About

CBT-Encinitas on Saxony Road in Encinitas operates under licensed psychologist Kristine Brady, PhD (PSY 19375), who completed her doctorate in clinical psychology at Virginia Tech and her internship at the Medical University of South Carolina with rotations at the VA PTSD clinic and the National Crime Victims Research Center. The practice's evidence-based CBT protocols for children, adolescents, and adults intersect with developmental services at Nest Pediatric Therapy for pediatric cases requiring concurrent occupational and behavioral intervention. Specialization in anxiety disorders, OCD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder draws on modalities including Exposure and Response Prevention, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and collaborative problem-solving frameworks. An adjunct professorship at the University of San Diego and editorial board service for the journals Body Image and Clinical Case Studies anchor the practice in current clinical research since 2003. Medical coordination for complex cases sometimes involves primary-care providers such as Chari Center of Health for integrated psychological and medical treatment planning. Highest-complexity engagements involve multi-method psychological assessment batteries combining structured clinical interviews, standardized measures, and behavioral observation to produce differential diagnoses across ADHD, executive-function deficits, and anxiety-spectrum presentations.
