Adam Ortiz
LMSW, Mystic
Adam is a licensed master of social work and spiritual counselor living in New York City. He is an NYC native, by way of Caribbean parents, and brings his lived experience into a warm, humanistic, and inclusive healing space.
Adam brings his knowledge of Shaolin Wushu and Qigong into his work with embodied processing, mindfulness, meditation and movement for wellness. Adam is deeply informed by a sense of personal mysticism, and believes that our healing is a matter of expanding our consciousness.
Adam has spent the last few years as the Wellness Coordinator and student clinician of a private mental health agency, and co-founder of their Social Responsibility Committee, dedicated to creating supportive spaces for marginalized groups and raising the consciousness of organizations. He continues that work as the creator of MakeYourMedicine. He remains culturally sensitive, and is trauma informed.
Adam works with all people who are curious about healing, and is especially welcoming to those belonging to at-risk and marginalized groups. He does not take insurance, and works on a sliding scale based on income, for the sake of accessibility.
In honor of his ancestors, Adam seeks to pay tribute to the role of Bohique: a healing spiritual figure of Arawak culture.
