Ana Santaolalla, LMFT

I'm an integrative psychotherapist with 15+ years of experience, specializing in trauma, couples therapy, and psychedelic-assisted work. My approach weaves together somatic, relational, and depth-oriented modalities, including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based practices.

My clinical foundation is shaped by a long-standing yoga and mindfulness practice, as well as my graduate training at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), where I was drawn to a holistic and transpersonal understanding of healing. My experience includes working with families and children in community mental health as well as in the addiction medicine department at Kaiser Permanente. I believe deeply in the body's wisdom and the power of presence to support lasting change.

I have advanced training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through Fluence and Polaris and have been offering KAP in my private practice since 2022. I also support clients in psychedelic preparation and integration, with a particular interest in relational and psychospiritual frameworks.

My work is grounded in warmth, depth, and attunement. Whether we are working with early attachment wounds, complex trauma, or deepening the bond between partners, I strive to create a compassionate and securely held space where healing can unfold.
