OUR SERVICES

Therapy that goes deeper than managing symptoms.

Meet Sheli

Hi, I’m Sheli.

As a bilingual therapist and BIPOC advocate, I provide care that honors culture, language, and lived experience. My practice is grounded in cultural humility and body-based healing.

I created this practice for women like you — who are holding a lot, quietly. Professionals, caregivers, helpers. People who show up for others, even when they’re struggling themselves.

My team is here to help you slow down, breathe, and come back into your body. We use somatic practices, EMDR, and mind-body techniques to help you heal from the root—not just cope.

Healing is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.
WHAT WE SEE CHANGE

Not less feeling. A bigger life.

“What I watch happen isn’t that people stop feeling things. It’s that their life gets bigger. They go back to the hobby. They take the meeting. They sit through the family dinner and it costs them almost nothing.”

— Sheli Aguirre, LMFT

You’ve done the therapy. You understand the patterns. But something still feels stuck.

Sometimes it’s chronic stress. Sometimes ADHD or executive-function differences are part of the picture. Sometimes old experiences are still showing up in the body. And for many women in midlife, hormonal changes, sleep and other physical shifts can make the picture even more complicated.

We don’t assume it’s all psychological—or all hormonal. We help you understand the whole picture, work more deeply with what belongs in therapy, and collaborate with trusted medical and wellness providers when something deserves another lens.

You know something feels off—but is it stress, ADHD, old patterns/trauma, hormonal change… or some combination of them?

“I’m successful, I know a lot, and somehow I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
