Psychology Practice – Margot Kopley, Psy.D.
Margot Kopley, Psy.D., is a licensed California psychologist (license PSY9107) practicing from two San Diego County offices: one in Encinitas and one in Oceanside. Her academic credentials include a bachelor’s degree in psychology, master’s degrees in psychology and school psychology, a doctorate in school and community psychology, and a certificate in alcohol and other drug studies from the University of California San Diego. She additionally holds a California school psychologist certification and is a certified EMDR therapist. This combination of clinical training, school psychology background, and specialization in substance use and trauma reflects a broad scope of professional preparation.
The practice offers EMDR therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), individual psychotherapy, and couples therapy. The site describes EMDR as a modality that supports clients in processing and healing memories and reconsidering their approaches to present and future circumstances. CBT is characterized as targeting the interplay among emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, with the aim of supporting meaningful functional change across those three interconnected domains. Both modalities are offered within the context of a broader integrative practice.
Specialty areas include ADHD, addictions, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, panic disorder, PTSD, trauma recovery, grief and loss, parenting skills, and women’s issues. Dr. Kopley also works with clients managing physical medical conditions and individuals with developmental disabilities. Adults are the primary population served, and both individual therapy and couples therapy formats are available. Sessions are conducted in-person at the two California offices.
The Encinitas office is at 741 Garden View Court, Suite 205, Encinitas, CA 92024. The Oceanside office is at 2204 El Camino Real, Suite 205, Oceanside, CA 92054. Office hours at both locations run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
