About

Clinical psychologist Diane Ghiron, PsyD in Encinitas practices under California license PSY 17333 through Love and Alvarez Psychology, a group that has specialized in family and divorce-related therapy for more than two decades. Her Manchester Avenue office near San Elijo Lagoon provides individual, couple, and adolescent sessions using psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness modalities, a somatic-aware framework that complements the trauma-informed bodywork available at KillaNuna Healing. Collaborative Divorce Coach training distinguishes Dr. Ghiron's practice from conventional therapy, enabling her to coordinate directly with custody evaluators, family law mediators, and Family Court Services during high-conflict separations. She works extensively with children exhibiting behavioral changes tied to parental conflict, and with adults adjusting to blended or stepfamily dynamics. Naturopathic support for the physiological side of chronic stress often runs parallel to her psychotherapy in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Healing Roots addresses adrenal and hormonal imbalances that compound anxiety and depression in high-conflict divorce populations. Advanced cases involve court-ordered co-parenting coordination combining structured reunification protocols, parenting-plan compliance monitoring, and real-time crisis intervention across both households.
