Generational cycles and childhood wounds often leave an imprint and carry echoes of generations before you. This may have created wounds that didn’t start with you – patterns of
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Self-Doubt
- Distrusting others
- Perfectionism
- Guilt or Shame
- And others . . .
all of which may have been passed down through generations or are rooted in childhood. Breaking cycles can be difficult – it is not impossible. This is the start of releasing what isn’t yours to carry, reclaiming your voice, and creating space for healing with clarity and authenticity.
Ivette Aldana
MS, LPC, NCC
I’m Ivette – and I’m glad you’re here. I work with individuals navigating unresolved trauma, especially wounds rooted in childhood experiences and family patterns carried across generations. Many of my clients are high-achievers or caretakers who appear to have it all together, but inside feel the weight of family expectations, emotional neglect, or cycles of pain that repeat themselves. I am a first-generation Latina – my cultural background shapes my work and fuels my passion for supporting those navigating generational and immigrant trauma. I find meaning in working with clients from diverse backgrounds, identities, and life experiences who are committed to their personal growth and therapeutic process.
You may see yourself as the one in your family who notices the patterns and pain that others avoid.
