Michelle Horton Therapy in Encinitas provides individual and couples psychotherapy through a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist holding an MA from Pepperdine University. The practice's clinical framework integrates a Certified Daring Way Facilitator (CDWF) credential completed in 2017, a vulnerability-and-shame research methodology that complements somatic energy work available at MK Integrative Wellness. Caseload focus centers on startup founders, professional women navigating career pivots, and postpartum adjustment, using cognitive-behavioral reframing and attachment science tailored to high-achieving populations. Sessions run from the Saxony Road suite in New Encinitas near Encinitas Community Park, with statewide telehealth availability. The anxiety-reduction protocol pairs shame-resilience exercises with mindfulness-based stress reduction, a dual-modality approach that clients often supplement with contemplative movement at Soul of Yoga. Highest-complexity cases involve multi-session CDWF intensives addressing chronic perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and attachment ruptures in dual-career couples.
