Paula Shaw Counseling in Encinitas holds dual certification as a CADC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor) and DCEP (Diplomat of Comprehensive Energy Psychology) for clinical work on Garden View Court. The practice pairs Emotional Freedom Techniques tapping with Gottman Method couples protocols, a multi-modal approach grounded in the same meridian-system principles used at MK Integrative Wellness. A founding member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology since 1999, the practice draws on post-graduate training from Long Beach State University and Loyola Marymount University to address addiction, trauma, and attachment disruption. Proprietary Chakra Therapy protocols combine Reiki energy scanning with guided imagery to address vibrational disruption at each energy center, a somatic modality that complements the contemplative breathwork taught at Soul of Yoga. Clinical sessions target amygdala-based stress responses through bilateral acupoint tapping sequences paired with cognitive reframing for PTSD, grief, and substance dependency.
