Lilliam Pastora
Founder & Clinical Director
LMHC, LPC
Lilliam Pastora is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Holistic Minds. She created the practice to offer therapy that feels both deeply human and highly practical—a space where clients are met with compassion, honesty, and evidence-based tools that support lasting change.
Lilliam specializes in working with trauma and PTSD, eating disorders and body image concerns, and supporting men with emotional regulation, relationships, identity, and self-worth. Many of the clients she works with are high-functioning on the outside but feel stuck internally—overwhelmed by anxiety, shame, perfectionism, numbness, or patterns that repeat despite their best efforts to "push through." Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative, balancing depth with a clear, sustainable plan.
In therapy, Lilliam focuses on understanding what's driving symptoms, strengthening coping skills, and building a healthier relationship with self and others. She integrates evidence-based approaches including EMDR, DBT, ACT, and CBT, tailoring treatment to each client's goals and pace. She also has training in psychedelic facilitation and integration support in clinical trial settings, approaching this work with a grounded and ethical lens.
As the founder of Holistic Minds, Lilliam sets the standard for a team that values clinical excellence, safety, and respect. Her approach is built for those seeking a therapist who is both a compassionate witness and a direct guide. By treating the whole person through a multidimensional lens, Lilliam helps clients build a life that feels truly aligned, meaningful, and sustainable.
