About

San Diego Institute of Therapy in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea community provides evidence-based psychological care for families, children, teens, couples, and individuals from its Newcastle Avenue office. The practice specializes in neurodivergent-affirming treatment for ADHD and autism spectrum conditions, coordinating developmental assessments with pediatric speech-language providers such as Talky Tots for multidisciplinary intervention planning. Therapeutic modalities span anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma recovery through structured cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic frameworks. The clinic's trauma specialization addresses complex PTSD through phase-based stabilization protocols, a trauma-informed approach paralleled in the somatic bodywork offered by KillaNuna Healing. Diagnostic protocols utilize norm-referenced neurodevelopmental assessment batteries for ADHD and autism spectrum differentiation, generating quantified baseline scores that guide individualized treatment planning for pediatric and adolescent populations.
