 Emily Holland, LCSW 

Hi, I’m Emily, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Diego. I work with adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions, with a special focus on parents and those carrying the weight of complex family dynamics.
My style is warm, steady, and grounded—I hold space for the deep work of untangling old patterns while also helping you find practical ways to feel relief in daily life.
I’m trained in Perinatal Mental Health and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and I bring my experience as both a mother and a long-time medical social worker into our work together. My hope is that you leave each session feeling more seen, supported, and connected to yourself.

Jaclyn Udell, ACSW 

I’m Jaclyn, I received a Bachelor of Arts from Georgetown University and a MSW from Tulane’s School of Social Work. I’ve been an Associate Clinical Social Worker practicing psychotherapy for 4 years with Lauren, as my trusted clinical supervisor. Last year I became a mother, and the life experience has opened the doors to my current focus area, which is supporting women who are in what I call their matrescence arc. My definition of matrescence is the feminine shift in identity that arises from the potential to become a mother. So, if you’re betwixt & between feeling ready to embark on the passage of motherhood, actively aspiring to create new life, beginning to add mother to their identity, or expanding who you mother, I hold each of these thresholds as pivotal moments in your life. Together, we’ll keep you as the protagonist of your story, and create space to explore all the tendrils of your experience.

Yoni Klein, AMFT

I’m Yoni and I’m based in the eastside of Los Angeles. I work with folks in person as well as remotely. After a career in film production, I received an MA in counseling psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute.
My decision to work as a therapist stemmed from a desire to help others on their healing journeys. I aim to create a safe space for exploring past wounds, as well as behavioral patterns that affect life in the present. I use Internal Family Systems to help clients befriend all parts of themselves.
I’m also trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and help clients experience openness to introspection through this modality. Whether we're working together in traditional talk therapy or exploring the deeper territories that ketamine can open up, I'm interested in helping you discover your authentic voice, your intuition, and your capacity for growth.
