Ancestral Therapy Sessions
Therapy done differently.
We are a Latina owned clinic that offers a relational, body centered, non-pathologizing, liberation focused, and culturally affirming therapeutic lens for first gen, children of indigenous people, bicultural identifying individuals, and black or brown bodies. We offer telehealth (online) therapy sessions, in person & online ancestral healing circles, and ancestral healing retreats based out of my Pueblo, which is located in Lo De Marcos, Nayarit.
Our Approach
We stray away from using labels and pathologizing human behavior at Ancestral Therapy because we understand that many of the things we struggle with-anxiety, hyper-vigilance, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing- are not flaws. They are survival adaptations that reflect what your lineage & ancestors had to endure, navigate, and survive when navigating White supremacy, colonization, and systemic oppression.
Yet, what helped our ancestors survive
may now be keeping us from fully living the life we so desire.
Henceforth, we support individuals in:
Identifying inherited emotional and behavioral patterns
Understanding family and cultural strengths
Releasing trauma held in the body
Reconnecting with cultural identity and roots
Building a conscious relationship with ancestors
This approach creates space to honor what was carried, while choosing what continues forward.
Our Values
We a) encourage clients to connect back to their roots, culture, and ancestry as part of our work, b) recognize the importance of body centered practices, and c) acknowledge the oppressive political systems in place that have caused and continue to cause generational trauma onto our families, communities, and ancestors.
Unlike traditional therapy that may focus primarily on the individual, here at Ancestral Psychotherapy we expand the lens to include:
Lineage and intergenerational experiences
Cultural and historical context (e.g. colonization, migration, displacement)
Spiritual and ancestral connection (e.g. animism)
What to Expect
Our online, therapy sessions integrate psychotherapy with ancestral veneration, cultural reclamation, and body based approaches to explore how:
Generational trauma is passed down your family
Cultural disconnection impacts our mental health
Survival patterns of our ancestors still live in the present
Typically, meetings are weekly or bi-weekly.
