Licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor at 7734 Herschel Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037, on the Herschel Ave corridor where La Jolla Recovery at 7632 Herschel operates its Joint Commission-accredited addiction treatment facility — two mental health providers on the same Village street serving fundamentally different populations. Wendy Belding holds dual licensure (LMFT and LPCC) and specializes in trauma treatment, a focus that distinguishes her practice from the generalist therapy offices clustered on Holiday Ct and Villa La Jolla Dr. The Herschel Ave location offers street-level Village accessibility in a commercial corridor with restaurants, galleries, and foot traffic — a therapeutic setting that some trauma patients prefer over the clinical environments of the medical-office parks. Families whose trauma-related symptoms extend to adolescent behavioral challenges beyond weekly outpatient capability turn to Protected Roots Integrative Treatment Center on the same street, San Diego's only clinical IOP for primary teen addiction and mental health.
