Getting to know Koalani Lahr

Aloha! My name is Koalani, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Diego, CA. I earned my Master's in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego and have been practicing for 10 years, working with both children and adults in schools, hospitals, and on military installations. I support individuals struggling with anxiety, stress management, and undergoing life transitions. I feel deeply passionate about helping new and seasoned parents navigate parenthood. I also have special knowledge in maternal mental health, supporting postpartum challenges and experiences affecting women and their partners during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I aim to provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, with the freedom to speak and be heard without judgment. My approach is collaborative, and I am confident that together we can navigate what's difficult and reconnect to the good parts of life. Together, we can create your therapeutic goals, and build the skills you need to thrive.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Feeling comfortable with your therapist is very important during the therapeutic process, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is fundamental for progress and growth. Healing can happen through relationships that are respectful, vulnerable, and accepting of you as a whole person. During our first few sessions together, I place a large focus on developing the therapeutic relationship, and getting to know you. Initially, we will focus on gathering background information and what brings you to therapy to help me know how I can best support you.
