Great to meet you!

Alexmi Polanco is an Afro-Dominican bruja, licensed therapist, Healer & CEO of Poder Healing. Alexmi created Poder Healing to help Black and Brown folx meet the depths of their soul, release what no longer serves them and find liberation through mind, body & soul offerings.

My approach to therapy

Poder Healing utilizes an integrative and holistic approach when working with clients. Our ancestral roots & gifts support clients in working through their human experiences so that they may connect with their authentic selves and transcend generational + ancestral cycles.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with Poder Healing is unlike many others. Conversations are deep as we also intuitively guide clients move through what is currently in front of them. Sessions are laid back and guided by client needs. We authentically show up in session allowing space for humor, native languages and forms of expression. You leave sessions reflective, with clarity and empowered.
