Keith Auerbach, PsyD, LMFT in Encinitas holds California marriage and family therapy license MFC38331 and has practiced in the psychology field since 1995 under his ZenPsych practice at Garden View Court. His clinical framework integrates traditional talk therapy with mindfulness-based stress reduction, an approach to anxiety and depression that aligns with the contemplative movement practices at Evolve Yoga & Movement in the same community. Dr. Auerbach treats adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship conflict, with particular emphasis on existential themes surrounding career direction, life-cycle transitions, and phase-of-life decisions. He also facilitates a small-group therapy program limited to six participants at a time, structured around existential exploration rather than crisis intervention, with pre-screening required for admission. Complementary modalities for stress-related somatic symptoms include the traditional Chinese medicine protocols at Pure Zen Wellness, where acupuncture targets the autonomic dysregulation patterns common in chronic anxiety presentations. Advanced cases involve structured integration of cognitive reappraisal, somatic awareness training, and values-based behavioral activation to disrupt entrenched rumination and avoidance cycles.
