Leah Polster, MA, LMFT 148607
I was called to this work after experiencing my own spiritual emergency in 2016, which prompted me to dive into my own personal trauma healing through psychotherapy and other holistic healing modalities. I began a deep study of cross-cultural healing practices, shamanic wisdom and rituals, mindfulness, energy healing, breath work, and more.
It is an honor to bear witness to individuals’ life experiences, and to offer a sacred space of nonjudgemental, compassionate, and genuine holding. My goal is to meet you where you are on your labyrinth of life, bringing with me a variety of tools and techniques which I tailor to each unique individual I work with.
With deep honor and gratitude, I offer holistic, integrative, experiential psychotherapy and coaching for individuals, relationships of any kind, families, and groups. I am a California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and an experienced Somatic coach supporting folks through the gamut of human experiences with a special focus on spiritual emergency, trauma healing, and altered states of consciousness and psychedelic/plant medicines.

When we heal ourselves, we heal the Earth.
When we heal ourselves, we heal the Earth.
I believe…
I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Our authentic Self gets buried beneath layers of “stuff”— beliefs, experiences, traumas — a natural consequence of being a human on Earth during our brief blip in universal time. No matter the “stuff” you’ve picked up along the way, I hold you with nonjudgmental acceptance, curiosity, and unconditional love. I walk with you on your journey of remembering who you truly are, and releasing what is no longer serving your highest good.
I believe you are already whole. You have all the wisdom you need to heal already inside of you. It can be difficult to hear your inner healer and true essence when it is buried underneath the “stuff” you’ve taken on. Together, we will co-create a safe relational space for you to explore your authentic Self, your full range of emotion and expression, your thoughts and beliefs, your experiences, your traumas, your “stuff.”
I trust in the inextricable interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul – and all Beings, Earth, Spirit, and the Universe. I believe that as we heal and remember our authentic Self, we contribute to the collective healing of humanity and the Earth.
