Some therapists arrive at this work through textbooks. Savannah Delgado arrived through lived experience, generational grief, and a relentless curiosity about why people hurt—and how they heal.
Sav (she/her) didn’t grow up with all the language for trauma, systems, or somatic work. What she did have was a deep awareness that something wasn’t right—and that someone needed to ask the questions no one else was asking. From a young age, she noticed that pain rarely came from nowhere. Behind the dysfunction were histories. Behind silence, stories. And that healing, for her, had to begin with understanding.
Raised at the intersection of Hispanic, Native American, and colonized cultures, Sav’s world was layered, complex, and emotionally rich. Her lived experience with chronic illness, family enmeshment, and inherited expectations gave her a rare capacity for attunement. She’s not interested in simple narratives or clean clinical boxes—because her own life has never fit into them.
That’s part of what makes her a uniquely powerful therapist. Sav specializes in working with people whose pain has been minimized or misunderstood: clients carrying intergenerational trauma, cultural pressure, chronic illness, or unspoken grief. She’s particularly attuned to those navigating multiple truths at once—like being queer and spiritual, caregiving and exhausted, both devoted and deeply hurt by their families.
Therapy with Sav isn’t performative. It’s real. She shows up fully—human first, therapist second—and invites you to do the same. Her sessions blend family systems work, somatic regulation, and metaphor-rich language that helps clients understand themselves in new ways. Whether you’re a parent trying not to repeat what hurt you, or a young adult grieving something you can’t quite name, Sav offers a space where insight lives in the body, and healing begins before words are even spoken.
One of her most powerful beliefs? That you don’t have to explain everything to be understood. In a world that often demands translation from those already carrying the most, Sav offers quiet recognition—and radical permission.
She often tells her clients, “I’ll put my hands underneath your hands to help you hold those pieces.” For anyone exhausted by performative strength, those words land like a lifeline. Therapy with Sav is not about fixing. It’s about remembering, restoring, and gently rebuilding—especially when you’re carrying things that were never yours to begin with.
If you’re holding stories that feel too big, identities that feel too complex, or pain that’s long been ignored, Sav is ready to meet you there. You’re not too much. You’re not too late. You’re not alone.
And your healing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
