Elizabeth "Betsy" Hegardt, LMFT, in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district holds California license LMFT #154019 and an MA in Counseling from the University of San Diego, specializing in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders on Newcastle Avenue near San Elijo Lagoon. Her training includes Internal Family Systems for Perinatal Populations through the Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings (22 hours), Gottman Level 1 certification, and an Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples externship, a somatic-relational skill set that complements the craniosacral bodywork at Sacral Rhythm. Clinical focus areas span prenatal and postpartum depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and couples therapy using IFS, DBT, and CBT frameworks. Treatment integrates attachment-based theory with evidence-based modalities to address the identity shifts and relational disconnection that accompany parenthood, paralleling the nervous-system regulation practices at Evolve Yoga & Movement. Advanced protocols involve multi-phase IFS unburdening sequences targeting perinatal trauma responses stored in protective parts systems that emerge during the transition to parenthood.
