LGBTQ+-owned and women-owned, Sanctuary by the Sea Counseling Services in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district provides trauma-focused psychotherapy through an LCSW holding NARM Master Therapist certification from the NeuroAffective Relational Model training institute. The practice's somatic-trauma methodology, rooted in interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory, complements meridian-based nervous-system regulation at acupuncture clinics including MK Integrative Wellness. Established in 2015 on 2nd Street near Coast Highway 101 and Moonlight Beach, the practice specializes in complex developmental trauma, early attachment disruption, and dissociative presentations that traditional talk therapy alone may not resolve. Ongoing post-master's immersion training under the NARM model's creator maintains clinical methodology at the modality's leading edge. Body-based trauma resolution for clients with chronic pain or structural holding patterns sometimes involves co-management with spinal-health providers such as Coherence Chiropractic for integrated somatic care. Peak-complexity cases involve phased NARM protocols addressing identity distortion, chronic disconnection from core needs, and survival-style adaptations rooted in pre-verbal developmental trauma.
