“Healing begins at the root.”

Yagelis Pichardo is a bilingual, trauma-informed, and spiritually grounded mental health professional committed to helping individuals and communities heal from within. As a proud Latina clinician, she brings warmth, inclusivity, and cultural humility into every session—ensuring that clients feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Her approach combines evidence-based modalities—like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)—with holistic practices such as mindfulness and spiritual exploration. She creates safe, affirming therapeutic spaces for trauma survivors, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those navigating complex relationship dynamics, including kink-affirming and polyamorous clients.

At Around the Block Healthcare, Yagelis provides relational, compassionate care that integrates the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of healing. Her sessions focus on exploring generational trauma, reclaiming identity, rebuilding self-worth, and strengthening connection—with yourself and others.
