Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Mary Oliver
Jacqueline Robertson, LMFT (#125830)· Clinical Supervisor · Psychotherapist · Psychedelic Guide · Writer
Jacqueline Robertson is a depth-oriented psychotherapist, Clinical Director and Supervisor, and writer whose work explores the places where psychology, embodiment, relationships, grief, and meaning intersect.
With 16 years of experience across psychotherapy, nutrition, and the healing arts, Jacqueline brings a deeply integrative perspective to her work—honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, relationships, spirit, soul, and nature. She views psychotherapy as more than symptom relief. It can be a modern-day rite of passage—a journey through what has been lost, what has shaped us, and what is waiting to emerge.
Her approach is rooted in attachment, somatic, relational, and Jungian psychology and informed by Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi Mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, dreamwork, mindfulness, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Her philosophy is deeply influenced by Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey, as well as mythology, nature, spirituality, and the wisdom of the body. She is particularly interested in the transformative thresholds of life—grief, heartbreak, relational awakening, identity shifts, and the moments when an old way of living no longer feels true.
The Healing Arts
Jacqueline has always felt a deep connection to the healing arts. From an early age, dance, music, horseback riding, and writing became meaningful forms of expression, creativity, and connection. These threads continue to shape her work today. As a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Jacqueline also brings an understanding of the relationship between nutrition and mental health, including the gut–brain connection, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, and the nutrients that support mood, cognition, and the nervous system.
The Work
Jacqueline works with adults navigating attachment wounds, relationship anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, heartbreak, self-worth, women’s issues, life transitions, and existential or spiritual questions. Her work is ultimately about helping people move from survival toward self-trust, from disconnection toward relationship, and from who they learned to be toward who they are becoming. She believes that healing does not require us to become someone else. It asks us to come home to ourselves.
