Pablo is a licensed psychotherapist drawing from Gestalt, Humanistic-Existentialism, and Buddhist principles to offer a grounded, embodied approach to personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.
He earned his Master’s in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in 2010 and has maintained a full-time private practice in Vermont for the past decade, working with clients across a wide range of ages and circumstances, from adolescents to seniors, including veterans, couples, and families, through both in-person and telehealth sessions.
In 2022, Pablo returned to Naropa to complete certification in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy through their MAPS program, focusing on the ancient spiritual traditions and modern science-backed benefits of psychedelics, and on the role of guide and integration therapist in supporting their healing potential. Since then, he has dedicated his practice to working skillfully and compassionately with altered states of mind in service of transformation, self-determination, and empowerment.
Born to immigrant parents and raised between New York City and Chile, Pablo identifies as Latino with indigenous Araucanian roots alongside European heritage. He has traveled extensively across Europe, South and Central America, Asia, and Africa, and is trilingual in English, Spanish, and French.
Pablo brings more than 25 years of study and practice in Buddhist meditation, martial arts, breathwork, and neuroscience, and facilitates workshops across these modalities in diverse community settings throughout the Americas. Outside the therapeutic space, he competes in Spartan races, participates in psychedelic community gatherings, and trains alongside his wife and daughter in the Vermont valley he calls home.
