Dori S. Winchell, PhD in Encinitas is a clinical psychologist who has maintained continuous California licensure and an active psychotherapy practice since graduating in 1977. Nearly five decades of clinical work inform her treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress-related conditions, a scope that parallels the integrative pain and mood protocols offered through acupuncture at MK Integrative Wellness. Dr. Winchell accepts Medicare and sees patients at multiple Encinitas office locations, including suites on Saxony Road, Garden View Road, and Village Park Way. Her psychotherapy orientation emphasizes individual talk therapy for adults managing chronic emotional distress, grief, and adjustment to major life transitions. Referral coordination with rehabilitation providers such as Active Wellness Physical Therapy addresses the mind-body overlap in patients presenting with concurrent pain and mood symptoms. Highest-acuity cases involve long-term individual psychotherapy for treatment-resistant mood disorders requiring coordinated medication monitoring with prescribing psychiatrists and primary care physicians.
