There is a level of integration most practitioners never find.
I work there exclusively.
Hi, I’m Ana Maria.
I am a licensed clinical mental health therapist, founder, speaker, writer, and the creator of the Selva Method. For over twelve years I have worked at the deepest levels of human transformation with some of the most high capacity people in the world.
I have a rare ability to see the full architecture of a person quickly and precisely: the nervous system patterns, the psychological blueprint, the inherited lineage conditioning, and know exactly where the real work begins.
Most practitioners spend months searching for what I can locate in a session.
There is a particular kind of practitioner that high capacity people eventually find themselves looking for. Not a therapist. Not a coach. Someone who works at a different level entirely.
I spent over twelve years becoming that person.
As a licensed clinical mental health therapist with a practice that carried a two year waiting list, I built one of the most sought after reputations in my field. I founded and own Selva Wellness Collective in Austin, Texas, a boutique private practice that grew into a full team of clinicians, healers, and wellness practitioners united by a single conviction that lasting change requires working with the whole person, not just the presenting problem.
My clients have included
high profile athletes carrying the invisible psychological weight of elite performance, Fortune 150 chief executives navigating the gap between outer influence and inner coherence, and multiple bestselling authors working at the intersection of creative identity and personal evolution. In the entertainment industry I have worked with SXSW, documentary directors and high profile actors whose names and faces belong to some of the most celebrated projects of this generation. Founders and business owners navigating the pressure of scaling without losing themselves round out a client world that spans industries and continents.
Over the course of my career I have led dozens of retreats locally and internationally, worked with clients across the globe, spoken publicly on the intersection of psychology, nervous system science, emotional intelligence, relationships, and conscious leadership, and am currently writing my first book, bringing the depth and precision of this work into a framework accessible to a wider world.
But none of this is what drives me.
What drives me is a conviction I have carried since before the success arrived: that the systems designed to support healing need an upgrade. That they routinely exclude the people who need them most. That BIPOC communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and lower income families deserve access to the same depth, precision, and quality of care that elite performers receive as a matter of course.
Selva Wellness Collective was founded as an act of disruption. A boutique private practice built to be both excellent and accessible. Both clinically rigorous and radically inclusive. I have never believed those things are in conflict. I have spent over a decade proving they are not.
What I discovered
in that decade, working at the most acute levels of trauma, attachment, nervous system science, and identity, was this: beneath every pattern is a blueprint. That beneath every blueprint is a lineage. And that sustainable transformation requires working at all three levels simultaneously: the body, the psychology, and the inherited conditioning that shaped both.
That discovery became the Selva Method.
The foundations of this work sit at the intersection of ancient wisdom and western science. Not as a compromise between the two but as a recognition that neither is complete without the other. Western clinical psychology gives us precision, evidence, and structure. Ancient eastern and indigenous traditions give us depth, lineage, and a relationship with the body, the earth, and each other that modern medicine has largely abandoned.
This is why the people I work with do not just experience shifts in performance and leadership. They experience shifts in how they love, how they attach, how they show up in their closest relationships, and how they move through conflict, intimacy, and loss. Because the body, the psyche, and the lineage do not stop at the boardroom door. They live in every relationship a person has.
At Selva this means that traditional therapy and medication management exist in the same space as ketamine assisted psychotherapy, Vedic astrology, reiki, and herbalism. It means that a Fortune 150 executive and a first generation immigrant sitting in the same building can both receive care that meets them at the root of who they are, not just the surface of what they present.
This is not eclecticism. It is integration. The same principle that drives the work drives the practice.
Today, I work exclusively
in private intensive engagements with founders, athletes, executives, creatives, and high visibility leaders who are accomplished, self aware, and ready for the level of integration that changes everything else. What most practitioners spend months trying to locate, I identify and begin working with in a session or two. Not because the work is simple. Because the precision is unmatched.
There is a level of integration most approaches never find. I work there exclusively.
