Ancestrina · Individual and couples therapy
Understanding what is happening to you is not always enough to live it differently.
We work with individuals and couples. A space to look clearly at what you are going through, understand what sustains it, and work with the possibilities available to you today.

Sometimes the problem is not that you haven’t tried.
You may have talked about it many times. One of you may feel they are carrying too much. There may still be love, and yet you may not know what to build. Something may have happened, and you may not know whether you are truly repairing it.
We do not start from a formula for saving relationships, or from the idea that staying together is always the right outcome.
What matters to us is understanding more precisely what is happening between you, how each of you participates in it, and what possibilities the relationship actually holds.
Working with what is happening today.
Understanding a story can matter. We also want to look at what keeps the current situation in place, what conditions are involved, and what possibilities are actually available.
From there, we work with what needs attention and observe what changes when something begins to be done differently in everyday life.

MAT: a proposal for orienting therapeutic work.
MAT is a clinical proposal in development for understanding how a person organizes their experience, how they participate in what they are living through, and what real possibilities for transformation exist within their concrete conditions.
MAT was created by Víctor Silva. Marcela Gómez participates in its clinical application and contributes to its practical development.
Learn about MAT →Who we are
Two therapists. One shared practice.
We are Marcela Gómez and Víctor Silva, therapists and co-founders of Ancestrina. We work with individuals and couples from our own paths and training, within a shared practice of listening, study, and therapeutic work.
Online therapy: you work with Marcela or Víctor, depending on your choice and availability. The in-person intensive is accompanied by both of us.
Meet Marcela and VíctorIdeas and conversations.
We publish articles and conversations about relationships, therapy, and questions that run through human experience.
Books
Some questions need more space.
Ancestrina currently brings together two books written by Víctor Silva. Each has its own page where you can learn about it, read the first chapter for free, and access purchase options.
