About

Rhonda Higgs, Counselor in Encinitas delivers psychotherapy through the LifeStance Health clinic on Santa Fe Drive for individual, couples, and family sessions. LifeStance Health operates as a national behavioral health network, and the Encinitas location applies that multi-disciplinary model — psychiatrists, psychologists, and licensed therapists under one roof — with integrative referral pathways to naturopathic providers like Gaia Naturopathic and Acupuncture Clinic. The LGBTQ+-affirming and transgender-safespace designated practice covers family counseling, marriage and relationship therapy, and life-transition coaching across all age groups. Treatment modalities include CBT and trauma-focused interventions, with somatic stress cases often requiring parallel bodywork — a clinical overlap with trauma-informed providers like Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage Encinitas. Session protocols incorporate PHQ-9 depression screening and GAD-7 anxiety measurement to calibrate treatment intensity and track quantified clinical outcomes across the care episode.
