MeEt the Team
Wandering Heart Collective is a dedicated network of trusted practitioners throughout California, assembled to offer support across various life challenges. The founder, Katie Holz, recognized a crucial gap in referral networks for individuals facing complex situations such as grief, parenthood, addiction, recovery from high-control groups, psychedelic integration, political stress, cancer support, and more.
Our collective consists of skilled and empathetic professionals, each bringing unique expertise to foster healing and personal growth. Together, we aim to create a nurturing space where individuals can find the guidance they need, tailored to their specific experiences and journeys.
Every member of our collective is committed to ensuring that those who seek support are met with understanding and compassion, making us a valuable resource for diverse communities in California.
KATIE HOLZ, LMFT
Trauma & ADDICTION Specialist Founder of Wandering Heart Collective
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin the exploration process. Whether you feel lost, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, I’m here to co-create a space with you where we can wander together with curiosity, compassion, and courage.
I offer in-person Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP), Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), EMDR, and talk therapy to support the processing of trauma and other challenging life experiences. I also facilitate Ketamine-Assisted Therapy groups and integration sessions, creating a supportive space to explore and embody the insights that emerge from your psychedelic journeys.
Diana Malouf, AMFT
EMDR & High Conflict Couples
We’re often told that relationships are “hard work” but are seldom told what that hard work is supposed to entail. Your partner may be listening, but you still don’t feel heard. Whether you’re focused on enhancing your connection or contemplating the possibility of separation, I’m here to assist you in navigating the next steps.
I offer online and in-person Couples Sessions using the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - aimed at uncovering your relational unmet needs.
LISSY MCCONNELL, LCSW Grief Specialist in california and colorado
Loss is a universal human experience, and yet when we experience a loss, we can feel isolated, alone, and disconnected from our community. I’m here to support you as you navigate death and non-death losses (such as the end of a relationship, a job, or receiving a life-altering medical diagnosis).
I offer individual therapy, brief solution-focused family therapy, and workshops to create space for us to grieve in community, and show up for one another with honesty and courage.
Madison Maynes, AMFT Eating Disorder Specialist and IFS Certified
Using humor, authenticity, and unwavering compassion, I approach healing and recovery from a place of empowered vulnerability. I acknowledge the multitude of complexities that come with the human condition and the various systemic barriers, developmental traumas, and life stressors that can impact an individual and perpetuate suffering.
I offer online and in-person individual, couples & family therapy. I specialize in Trauma, PTSD, Eating Disorders, and Self-Esteem.
Ana Velouise, LMFT Reproductive Mental health
You feel like you’re failing at this stage of your parenting journey, that no matter how hard you try, it’s not good enough. Perhaps you’re struggling with fertility treatments, pregnancy loss, being postpartum, or a new phase of parenthood. Whatever it is, you’re ready to feel emotionally stable again–and I want to help you get there.
I offer online and in-person counseling services for individuals and couples, along with therapy intensives, EMDR therapy, and support groups.

Somatic & Practical Support
RACHEL NAGELBERG,
Trauma Somatic Practitioner
Whether working through chronic dysregulation, developmental trauma, dissociation, or the quiet undercurrents of tension you can’t quite name, I offer somatic sessions as a way to restore coherence to your nervous system—bringing you back into deeper relationship with yourself, your body, and the present moment.
I offer online and in-person Individual Somatic Sessions as well as Ketamine Assisted Groups and Group Integration.
CHARLES COOK, Recovery Specialist
and Case Manager
Struggling with addiction, chronic anxiety, or depression can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Recovery is about more than stopping a behavior—it’s about building a life that feels connected and meaningful.
I offer in-person one-on-one recovery coaching and case management to support your individual goals as well as the needs within your family system.
