About

EmotionFit in Encinitas is an evidence-based, depth-focused therapy practice founded by Matthew Jarvinen, PhD (CA PSY 29459), specializing in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy for treatment-resistant symptoms on Saxony Road near Encinitas Boulevard. The practice targets conditions that have not responded to standard therapy — including entrenched trauma, OCD, addiction, chronic pain, and anxiety — using accelerated emotional processing techniques that complement the neuromuscular care at Leucadia Chiropractic Wellness Clinic. Psychiatric consultation with Dr. Kevin Ing, MD, provides medication evaluation for patients whose symptom profiles require pharmacological coordination alongside psychodynamic work. Therapy intensives condense multiple sessions into focused multi-day blocks for rapid breakthrough on persistent barriers, a concentrated format that integrates with the somatic health protocols at Chadwell Method. Advanced ISTDP interventions involve graded emotional exposure sequences designed to bypass characterological defenses and access repressed affect driving treatment-resistant symptom complexes.
