Ana Rodriguez, MS, LPC (she/her) -- License # 77500

Intuitive, Wise, Joyful, & Adventurous

Ana is a therapist, writer, international speaker, and healer who seamlessly bridges the worlds of high performance and deep healing—helping individuals move beyond intellectual understanding into embodied transformation. Born in Colombia and raised between South America and the U.S., she carries the richness of two cultures, each offering unique perspectives on connection, resilience, and self-discovery. Moving between these worlds taught her to navigate complexity with discernment, embrace multiple truths, and meet people at different levels of their human experience. This deep understanding allows her to hold space for those balancing leadership and vulnerability, ambition and authenticity, responsibility and personal liberation.

Her approach is deeply intuitive yet evidence-based, balancing structure with soul, science with metaphysics, and strategy with presence. Ana’s work goes beyond traditional talk therapy, guiding clients into their bodies, nervous systems, and emotional landscapes to release long-held patterns of perfectionism, avoidance, self-sabotage, and disconnection. She understands both the pressures of leadership and visibility as well as the deep wounds of oppression and intergenerational trauma. In her care, both the high achiever and the wounded inner child are met with radical compassion, allowing clients to finally break free from cycles of emotional isolation.

In a world where most people live from their heads—overanalyzing, overworking, and staying disconnected from their deeper truth—Ana’s work is about integration. She helps clients shift from intellectualizing their struggles to fully embodying their healing, reconnecting with their intuition, emotions, and the wisdom of the body. Whether supporting someone through a career transition, creative burnout, relational complexity, or a profound personal awakening, she creates a space where transformation is not just a concept, but a lived experience.

At the core of Ana’s work is a belief in expansion—emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Whether you’re seeking to release the weight of responsibility, tap into your deepest relational needs, or fully embody who you were meant to be, she offers the tools, insight, and presence to help you live fully—not just in your mind, but in your body, your relationships, and your purpose.

Selva Wellness Collective is a lived dream—a space Ana founded to embody the kind of healing she believes in: holistic, inclusive, and deeply transformative. More than just a practice, it is a representation of what’s possible when mind, body, and spirit are integrated, multiple healing traditions are honored, and individuals are given the space to return to themselves fully and freely.

Personal

Ana is a self-proclaimed foodie who loves cooking and discovering new flavors from around the world. When not in the kitchen, she’s enjoying a great movie, live music, traveling to new destinations, or staying active with tennis and hikes alongside her three dogs. She loves to meditate, paint, write her book, and engage in meaningful conversations that challenge perspectives and deepen self-awareness.

In Austin, you might find Ana laughing alongside her husband at a new fun restaurant, strolling the farmers market with a chocolate croissant in hand, or soaking up sunshine with her pups.
