For the founder. the executive. the athlete. the creative. the leader who knows there is still a deeper level waiting.
Private Advising
This is my most intimate and exclusive offering
and the most complete expression of everything I know how to do. It is not therapy. It is not coaching. It is psychological advisory work at the intersection of clinical precision, somatic intelligence, and ancestral depth — a bespoke long term engagement designed for those who are accomplished, deeply self aware, and ready for the level of integration that changes everything else.
What makes this different from anything else you have encountered is not just the depth of the work but the way it is held. I work with a very small number of private advising clients at any given time, and every engagement is designed personally around you. The arc, the focus, the depth, and the pace are all built specifically for where you are and where you are ready to go. Nothing here is borrowed from a framework or adapted from a program. It is built from scratch, from a precise clinical read of your specific architecture, in service of the specific transformation you are ready for.
This is for those who carry significant responsibility and want to be understood accurately rather than simply supported. Who are ready for a practitioner who will not stay inside a lane that is too narrow for the work that is actually needed. Who know that the next level requires something more complete than anything they have previously found.
What I offer is something the traditional therapeutic model was never designed to hold.
As a licensed clinical mental health therapist I bring the full weight of clinical training and the exclusive modalities that licensure makes possible — EMDR, formal therapeutic protocol, ketamine assisted psychotherapy — interventions that operate at a depth of precision that coaching and advisory work simply cannot access without that foundation.
But what I offer does not stop at the therapy room door. Because the people I work with do not live inside fifty minute increments. They live inside book launches and film premieres and championship tournaments and board rooms and international trips and every high stakes moment in between. And that is exactly where I show up.
Private Advising with me means access to the fullest expression of what I know how to do. It means intensive protocols designed around the specific arc of your life rather than a standard weekly cadence. It means I travel with you when the work calls for it — sitting courtside at a tournament with a professional athlete, standing in the wings at a premiere with a director, flying alongside an author through the disorienting pressure of a major book launch. Not as a support system in the conventional sense. As a precision clinical presence who knows your full architecture and can read what is happening in your nervous system and psychology in real time, in the room where it is actually happening.
Psychological advisory is something more complete. The clinical rigor and the exclusive modalities of a licensed practitioner, combined with the creative range, the presence, and the access of an advisor who goes where the work actually lives.
Private Advising
is for you if:
You are accomplished, driven, and you know the next level requires something you have not yet found.
You are tired of mindset coaches who cannot go deep enough and therapists who will not go wide enough. You are ready for someone who holds the clinical rigor of one and the creative range of the other and knows exactly how to blend them.
You want a practitioner who can hold the full complexity of your psychology, your ambition, your relationships, and your history simultaneously and without flinching.
You are performing at a high level externally and privately carrying the weight of patterns you cannot seem to move past no matter how much work you do.
You are navigating something significant such as a major transition, a relationship that keeps breaking the same way, a ceiling in your leadership or creative output that has nothing to do with strategy, and you are ready for someone who can see exactly what is underneath it.
You work with a team of people who are exceptional at what they do. And you are ready for the missing dimension. The one that makes everything else they are doing land more fully and last more permanently.
Working alongside your established team
I work alongside the full ecosystem of support that high performance people already have in place. The agents, the trainers, the nutritionists, the physical therapists, the strength coaches — every member of a team doing exceptional work in their domain. I am not here to replace any of them. I am here because there is a dimension of performance that sits at the intersection of all of them and that none of them were trained to reach.
No amount of physical optimization, strategic planning, or external support can touch what lives beneath the surface of performance. The nervous system patterns quietly undermining recovery long after the body has been conditioned to its peak. The psychological blueprint driving the decisions that nobody in the room can explain. The emotional and relational dynamics that show up in the locker room, the boardroom, and the bedroom in equal measure because they do not know how to stay in their lane any more than a person does.
That is precisely where my work begins. Where the performance of the body reaches its ceiling and the mastery of the mind and emotions determines everything that follows. I work there not instead of the existing team but alongside them, as the missing dimension that makes everything else they are doing land more fully and last more permanently. The best support systems in the world know that physical and strategic excellence will only take a person as far as their internal world allows. I work at that ceiling. And I help you raise it.
Meet Ana Maria
Over the course of twelve years as a licensed clinical mental health therapist, I have worked at the deepest levels of human transformation with some of the most high capacity people in the world. What began as a private practice that grew to carry a two year waiting list became something I had not entirely anticipated — the founding of Selva Wellness Collective, the creation of the Selva Method, and the slow and deliberate building of a body of work that sits at the intersection of clinical precision, somatic intelligence, and ancestral depth in a way that nothing I was trained inside could fully contain. I did not set out to build something new. I set out to do the work as completely as I knew how to do it. Everything that followed came from refusing to stop there.
What drives me is not the reputation or the results. It is the precision. The ability to see the full architecture of a person quickly and accurately and know exactly where the real work begins.
Most practitioners spend months searching for what I can locate in a session. Private Advising is where that precision is given its fullest expression. A long term container where I bring everything I know directly to bear on who you are and what you are ready to become.
Only a small number of private advising clients are accepted each year.
