About

For trauma-focused psychotherapy in Encinitas, Dr. Louisa Lurkis holds California psychology license PSY20065 with clinical training from the University of California at Berkeley. Her EMDR certification enables remote eye movement desensitization and reprocessing sessions for PTSD and acute trauma, a somatic-oriented methodology that interfaces with the integrative protocols at Chong Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine. Specialization areas span anxiety disorders, relationship dysfunction, and support for parents of children on the autism spectrum. The practice's depth-psychology framework uses attunement-based techniques to reconnect core identity with fragmented internal states, an evidence-based trauma processing approach that parallels the naturopathic recovery work at Healing Roots in Encinitas. HIPAA-compliant telehealth infrastructure supports full remote EMDR delivery for clients throughout California. Highest-tier clinical engagements involve extended bilateral stimulation protocols targeting complex PTSD with dissociative features across multiple traumatic event timelines.
