Healing is an ofrenda - an offering of peace to those who came before us, and freedom to those who come after.
Our Approach
Ancestral Therapy offers body centered, relational, experiential, and trauma-informed psychotherapy that fuses cultural, spiritual, and ancestral reverence. Our therapeutic approach recognizes that many of our struggles are not individual failures - they are inherited survival responses shaped by family systems and systems of power. Henceforth, we view all symptoms, defenses, and emotions as having an underlying positive intent, even if their actions or effects appear counterproductive or dysfunctional.

Meet the Founder
Denisse Silva, AMFT, MA, BA
Hola! I’m Denisse, the founder of Ancestral Therapy and a California-based therapist who advocates for ancestral healing and cultural remembrance. My practice “Ancestral Therapy” was born in 2022 and is a testament of my journey of reconnecting to my roots, cultura, and ancestors when moving to my pueblo in Mexico and after living with my Abuela after completing her Master’s of Science in Counseling Psychology in California. I dedicate my private practice to her.
