About

Teen Therapist Girls and Women Therapy in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea community holds California LMFT license #41446 for psychotherapy serving girls and women ages eleven and older from South Coast Highway 101. The women-owned and LGBTQ+-affirming practice coordinates developmental assessments with pediatric speech-language providers such as Talky Tots for children presenting with co-occurring communication and behavioral challenges. Therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT, informed by clinical experience across San Diego Unified, Oceanside Unified, and Vista Unified school districts. School-based advocacy and staff collaboration extend the treatment model beyond the therapy room, a community integration approach reinforced by the holistic wellness programming at Blissfusion Wellness Lounge. Specialized treatment tracks address adolescent anxiety, peer-pressure response patterns, self-esteem disruption, and grief processing through structured evidence-based intervention protocols calibrated for female developmental stages.
