Shannon Gilbride, MFT in Encinitas holds California license LMFT 46373 and has maintained a private psychotherapy practice since 2006 from her Calle Magdalena office. Advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy completed at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center in La Jolla informs a relational-psychodynamic clinical framework that complements integrative healing modalities at Chong Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine. Individual therapy for adults and older teenagers integrates depth-psychology principles with elements of family-systems theory, attachment science, neuroscience-informed practice, and dialectical-behavioral strategies selected based on presenting concerns. Adjunct teaching in psychology at Point Loma Nazarene University and prior clinical work at a university wellness center, a residential crisis house, and multiple San Diego-area high schools ground the practice in diverse population experience. Clients with somatic anxiety symptoms or psychodynamically rooted tension patterns sometimes coordinate care with movement-based rehabilitation at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy for integrated mind-body treatment. Complex psychodynamic cases involve sustained relational therapy targeting unconscious process patterns, transference dynamics, and characterological adaptations that surface across interpersonal domains.
