Jacqueline Robertson, LMFT — Clinical Supervisor & Psychedelic Somatic Therapist
Dual-licensed in California and Canada, Jacqueline brings over 20 years of experience in the healing arts, offering a holistic, integrative approach that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and nature.
A history major and lover of classics and Greek mythology, Jacqueline views psychotherapy as a modern-day rite of passage—a journey of healing and transformation inspired by Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey. A writer and storyteller, she is drawn to how people create meaning, make sense of suffering, and transform their lives through narrative.
Jacqueline believes therapy is not merely symptom relief, but remembering who we are beneath conditioning. Her integrative approach weaves Attachment Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi Mindfulness, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Jungian Psychology, Psychedelic Somatic Therapy, dream analysis.
She specializes in self-worth, self-compassion, early childhood trauma, anxious attachment, fear of abandonment, women’s issues, midlife transitions, grief, existential concerns, and psychedelic preparation and integration. Jacqueline holds a Diploma in Applied Holistic Nutrition from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (Canada), integrating blood sugar balance, inflammation, gut–brain health, and nutritional psychiatry.
Jacqueline earned an Honors BA in History from McMaster University (Canada), a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University (Santa Barbara), and certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (Colorado). She is currently completing preparatory hours for Jungian Analyst training at the C. G. Jung Institute in Los Angeles, deepening her lifelong devotion to exploring the language of the soul through dreams, myth, and symbolic wisdom.
