Therapy at Ancestrina
There is something in your life you want to experience differently
Sometimes you already know what is happening. What you need is a space to work on what keeps happening: in your decisions, in your relationship, or in how you live the life you have built.
Explore the processesHow we can work with you
An online process or an in-person intensive
You can work on your own situation or on your relationship as a couple. Online, one of us works with you; in the intensive, Marcela and Víctor work together with you.
A space to work on what you are experiencing
A decision you keep putting off, a boundary you find hard to set, or a difficulty that keeps hurting. Across eight sessions with the same therapist, the work starts from your situation and allows us to revisit what happens between meetings.
Explore the individual processWorking on the relationship you are living
When there is affection, but also distance, resentment, or conversations that end the same way. The process begins with an individual meeting with each partner, followed by six joint sessions with the same therapist.
Explore the couples processA day and a night to work on what needs your attention
A decision you keep putting off, a loss, or a difficulty that keeps returning. We dedicate a private encounter to exploring what you are experiencing, with Marcela and Víctor supporting you together. The stay combines therapeutic work, breaks, and rest; it includes preparation beforehand and a follow-up session after you return.

Who works with you
Two complementary perspectives
Marcela Gómez
Marcela brings a warm, compassionate sensitivity. She puts what may feel complex into accessible words and adds her own perspective on what you are experiencing.
Meet Marcela
Víctor Silva
Víctor brings a direct approach that challenges you to look closely at recurring responses, what you are trying to protect, and what needs to be faced.
Meet VíctorIn the intensive, we both work with the same person or couple. In an online process, one of us works with you throughout.
The approach that guides our work
MAT, developed by Víctor, guides how we understand experience and decide what needs to be worked on. We start from what a situation means to you, your history, and the relationships and real circumstances of your life.
Learn about MATPerhaps this feels familiar
You do not need to arrive with everything resolved or explained
“I have a good life, but it has been a long time since I enjoyed it.”
You meet your responsibilities, solve problems, and achieve things. Your own life seems to keep waiting for later.
“I understand what is happening, but I keep living the same way.”
You have sought support and worked on yourself. Yet that boundary, conversation, or decision is still waiting.
“I have built a life I am no longer sure I want.”
What once made sense no longer feels the same. Changing weighs on you, and so does continuing out of habit.
“We love each other, but we are exhausted by living this way.”
There is affection, but also distance, resentment, or issues that have become hard to address.
“I am available for everyone, and there is no space left for me.”
You stay on top of what others need. Your own needs keep waiting.
