Barton Shulman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC (multiple states), CCMHC, BC-TMH
People come to me because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. If I had to say I have a specialty, it's seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. I work with my clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges.
I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go.
It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Our group practice of psychologists is accepting new patients as of 2/6/24 for in-person (Encinitas & Carlsbad) or virtual therapy! Therapy with me looks like a caring, practical, and sincere relationship. I work with people throughout the lifespan (children through adulthood) in individual, couples, and group therapy, and also with psychological testing. If you are having difficulty managing emotions that used to be easy or you want to better understand destructive patterns in life, give me a call.

Quinn Knox
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, Trauma-Informed
Therapy has not only changed but also saved my life. I have always been interested in psychology due to being an adoptee and growing up in a blended family of various cultures and ethnicities. My struggles with addiction and the unpredictable ebbs and flows of being in the entertainment industry was the tipping point that drove me to do some major introspection and ultimately paved the way for me to become a therapist. Seeking personal therapy helped me work through childhood and sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, impulsive behaviors, and feelings of low self-worth and my goal is support others who struggle with similar issues.
For a long time, I was desperate to work on myself so I could be “good enough” to find the right partner. However, I realized that I needed to become the person of my dreams, rather than relying on another person to complete me. My hope for my clients is to help you love yourself, and get connected with supportive communities and personal interests.
