Dr. Courtney Higgins, PsyD in Encinitas holds California license PSY 20761 and has provided clinical psychology services for more than twenty years from her Saxony Road office. A University of Denver graduate with EMDR certification, she treats trauma, couples conflict, and perinatal mood disorders using an integrative approach that pairs cognitive processing with somatic awareness, a framework aligned with the trauma-sensitive therapeutic massage at Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage. Her practice through Coastal Therapy Group serves adolescents, adults, and couples, with particular depth in women's mental health across fertility, postpartum, perimenopause, and midlife transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing forms the core of her trauma protocol, supported by psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based interventions tailored to each client's nervous-system capacity. Mind-body integration practices including the heated vinyasa sequences at CorePower Yoga frequently complement her clinical work by reinforcing interoceptive awareness between sessions. Complex trauma cases involve phased EMDR protocols with extended bilateral stimulation sets targeting both single-incident and developmental attachment injuries across multiple memory networks.
