Embark Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MSMFT
I founded Embark Therapy to empower you to move beyond your symptoms, foster deep self-awareness, and enhance your connection with those around you. Embark Therapy was launched with a vision to guide you toward profound self-insight, navigate through past pains, and embark on your unique journey within. In our fast-paced world, choosing to pause and look within is counter cultural. At Embark, we collaborate with you to enhance your reflective abilities and shine a light on aspects of your past that may have been overlooked. By addressing and expressing unresolved emotions, we facilitate moving beyond past traumas or disappointments, fostering an increased ability to fully engage with the present.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!

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.
