About

Inner Sanctuary Counseling Services in Encinitas provides child psychology and psychotherapy from Calle Magdalena, staffed by clinicians with doctoral training spanning Drexel University, San Diego State University, and Pacifica Graduate Institute. The practice's psychoanalytic and depth-psychology orientation toward adolescent treatment complements the developmental pediatric monitoring at Sonja Brion, MD in Encinitas. Clinical services address childhood behavioral disruption, family systems dysfunction, and adolescent identity formation through individual and conjoint therapy sessions. Psychoanalytic training through the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis deepens the practice's approach to attachment-based work with children and families, a neurodevelopmental framework also supported by the functional wellness model at K2 Health Center. Wheelchair-accessible parking and dedicated appointment scheduling serve families across the broader Encinitas community. Highest-complexity cases involve multi-session depth-oriented assessment and intervention protocols addressing early childhood relational trauma with dissociative and attachment-disruption presentations.
