As a California-licensed psychologist (PSY29855), Reid Kessler, PsyD in Encinitas operates through Coastal Therapy Group on Saxony Road in the New Encinitas medical corridor. Founded in 2018, the practice has grown to eleven doctoral-level psychologists across Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Vista offices, offering relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy alongside the manual therapy approaches used at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy for patients with co-occurring somatic complaints. Training includes a PsyD from Biola University (APA-accredited), a pre-doctoral internship at Harbor-UCLA, and a post-doctoral fellowship at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center. The LGBTQ+-affirming and transgender-safespace designated office treats men, couples, teens, and executives through depth-oriented modalities that examine early attachment patterns — a psychological approach distinct from the body-centered somatic work offered at Four Moons Spa. Advanced clinical protocols utilize psychoanalytic personality assessment and psychological testing to quantify attachment organization, defensive structure, and affect regulation capacity across the diagnostic spectrum.
