Discovering Carlsbad’s Path to Healing
Carlsbad, known as “The Village by the Sea,” is a charming coastal city in Northern San Diego County, California. With its stunning beaches, scenic lagoons, and lively downtown, it offers a mix of relaxation and adventure. The city is home to top attractions like Legoland California, the Flower Fields, and miles of picturesque coastline, making it a desirable place to live and visit.
Beyond its beauty, Carlsbad is a growing community with a focus on well-being. While many enjoy the city’s active lifestyle, residents still face everyday stress, anxiety, and mental health challenges. The pressures of work, family, and personal struggles can take a toll, making access to professional counselling an important resource.
If you’re in Carlsbad and seeking support, therapy can help you navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. Let’s start your journey to healing today.
Therapy Services - Carlsbad
My specialties include:
TRAUMA THERAPY
Most people have experienced, or will experience, some form of trauma in their lives—losing a loved one, facing abuse, witnessing violence, suffering a serious injury, or enduring complex trauma. Trauma therapy offers a safe space to share your hardships and receive the support you need to heal.
THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION
Depression may leave you feeling deeply sorrowful, isolated, and profoundly alone. Connecting with a truly caring online therapist can gently guide you from a shadowed path into renewed self-assurance, gradually helping you fully embrace hope and confidently step toward a happier, more fulfilled life.
ANXIETY TREATMENT
Anxiety may block you from forming meaningful connections with others and thriving at work. It can lead to persistent and exhausting overthinking, which undesirably restricts your opportunities because you constantly worry that something terrible might unexpectedly go wrong. In our online counseling sessions, I’ll create a safe, calm, and welcoming space where you can learn effective relaxation techniques to ease your fears.
BRAINSPOTTING
By harnessing your mind’s innate ability to heal, Brainspotting uses specific eye positions that facilitate deep emotional unlocking. It’s highly effective for addressing trauma, anxiety, and performance hurdles, providing relief and resilience. Ideal if you desire transformative emotional growth and healing.
KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY
Merging ketamine’s healing qualities with psychotherapy, this innovative approach eases intense depression, PTSD, and other mental struggles while nurturing profound insights and emotional recovery within a caring, supportive environment.
Rediscovering Your True Worth at Inward Healing Therapy
Life’s challenges can leave you feeling drained, questioning your self-worth, and disconnected from the person you want to be.

At Inward Healing Therapy in Carlsbad, we understand the many burdens you may carry.

We offer a range of services, including trauma therapy, therapy for depression, anxiety treatment, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
