About

Portrait of Yamil Sarabia, smiling, in a blue top

I'm a passionate, dedicated Holistic Psychotherapist and Holistic Life Coach, committed to authentic, organic healing journeys — and I truly care about you and your best interests.

I offer a holistic, cutting-edge approach to mental health and unique coaching programs. They're for people who've lived with years — sometimes a lifetime — of stagnation, and for anyone who needs a deep dive into anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, anger, relationship issues, life changes and traumatic or critical life events.

As a lifelong learner, I didn't stop at a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from NYU, or the Master of Science in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine before it. I keep studying the neurology and subconscious mind that underpin human behavior.

My approach

As an intuitive holistic practitioner with a deeply spiritual heart, I honor any one of you and all of you — mind, body and spirit. Without bias and without judgement. Together we create a safe, sacred space where you can reconnect with your inner wisdom, and let your own healing power unfold at your own pace, for deep integrated healing to live a life worth remembering.

Energy and body-based work that brings clarity and supports self-awareness and growth.

Life Coaching (One-on-One)

Heal and grow alongside others in a supportive, guided group.

Proven Modalities
