About

Nature and Nurture Therapy in Encinitas holds California psychology license PSY30491 for child, adolescent, and family psychotherapy on Saxony Road. The practice's clinical framework pairs Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with play, art, and music modalities — a multimodal structure for neurodevelopmental cases that differs from the movement-based rehabilitation protocols at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy. Specialization areas include Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and trauma response in pediatric and adolescent populations. Animal-assisted therapy sessions incorporate a trained therapy dog as a co-facilitator for sensory regulation during treatment, adding a somatic calming element to the psychodynamic and relational work that complements the contemplative wellness programming at Soul of Yoga. Highest-complexity cases involve differential assessment of co-occurring neurodevelopmental and mood disorders using structured clinical observation paired with standardized psychometric instruments.
