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

Intuitive, Wise, Joyful, & Adventurous

Ana Maria Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor, international speaker, and the founder and owner of Selva Wellness Collective in Austin, Texas. With over twelve years of clinical experience in trauma, attachment, and identity work, she built Selva as an integrative space where evidence-based psychology meets Eastern philosophy, somatic practice, and Indigenous-informed approaches to healing.

Ana works with thoughtful, high-capacity adults including leaders, creatives, founders, athletes, and high-visibility professionals who appear grounded and successful on the outside yet feel internally stretched, relationally stuck, or misaligned. Many are navigating performance pressure, burnout, identity transitions, or unresolved trauma while carrying significant responsibility.

Her therapeutic approach blends IFS, EMDR, attachment-based therapy, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed depth psychology to support emotional mastery, relational clarity, and sustainable resilience under pressure. The goal is not just insight, but integration and change that is embodied, durable, and aligned.

As a bicultural Latina and longtime advocate for marginalized communities, Ana is deeply committed to supporting individuals navigating systemic oppression, identity complexity, and belonging across cultures, genders, and social positions. Selva actively centers trauma-informed care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC communities, and those whose voices have historically been minimized or silenced.

As Selva has grown into a multidisciplinary collective, Ana’s work has expanded into executive advising and performance psychology. While she now partners with athletes, founders, and high-visibility individuals navigating growth and leadership, Selva remains the clinical foundation of her broader mission: to cultivate emotional strength, relational integrity, and coherent leadership in those shaping culture and community, and to advance a more integrative, culturally conscious, and psychologically rigorous future for mental health care.

Personal

Outside of her work, Ana finds joy in beauty, creativity, and intentional living. She loves to cook meals inspired by her Colombian roots, travel the world, explore new restaurants, and share meaningful conversations around a table. She grounds herself through meditation, writing, painting, and movement-whether that’s tennis, long walks, or time outdoors with her three dogs.

In Austin, you’ll often find Ana at the farmers market with a coffee and pastry in hand, laughing with her husband, or soaking up sunshine with her pups. She believes healing isn’t only what happens in a session-it’s also how we choose to live, love, slow down, and return to ourselves at the end of every day.
