welcome! I am honored to have you here.

Founder & Wellness Practitioner

Z Cordero, LMSW

I am a Queer, African American & Puerto Rican, cancer survivor, psychotherapist and wellness coach. My passion is to provide a light to illuminate your path to greatness.

My wellness coaching ethos is founded on a strong collaborative partnership. Together we will focus on specific, immediate goals to help you reach your fullest potential and become your ideal self. In each session we will lean into your abilities to create meaningful changes that align with your aspirations.

My therapeutic practice is centered on nurturing a deep and meaningful alliance that empowers you to engage fully and authentically in the therapeutic process. My intention is to  provide an uplifting, supportive space where you can tend to your emotional depths, uncover patterns from your past, and address life’s challenges with the goal of profound personal transformation.

“Allow me to help you turn over a new leaf.”
