At Halliday Center for Psychotherapy & Wellness we understand that seeking support can feel vulnerable. It takes courage to ask for help—and even more to step into the work of healing. Therapy gives you space to slow down, listen inward, and begin to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Founded by Dr. Debra Halliday, Psy.D., The Halliday Center was created to offer something more than just clinical care. It’s a space built on mindful approaches to wellbeing, where people feel safe, seen, and supported as they move through life’s challenges.
We tailor therapy to each client’s needs, drawing on a wide range of evidence-based and mindfulness-informed modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
We offer in-person and telehealth therapy from two San Diego County offices: Encinitas (355 Santa Fe Dr, Suite 200) and Carmel Valley (12625 High Bluff Dr, Suite 216). Contact our client care team at (760) 635-3310 — Ryonen (ext. 104) or Raven (ext. 103) — to connect with a therapist.
