Consuelo Casarotto, L.Ac
Acupuncturist
She/Her
Consuelo has been a holistic health practitioner in New York City for over 15 years. Her unique treatments combine Classical and Esoteric Acupuncture - the mainstay of her practice - with a blend of shamanic and mindfulness practices from global traditions, Chinese medical dietary therapy, Taoist self-cultivation prescriptions and intuitive guidance to address your mind and body wellbeing. No matter where you are in your journey, Consuelo cares to guide you to embrace your full humanity, with deep compassion, and cultivate your center, the state of infinite balance, within you.
Prior to becoming an Acupuncturist, Consuelo worked at the United Nations and New York City government in the areas of Governance and Alternative Development. Her last assignment took her to Afghanistan for almost two years. In her view, the only sustainable solution to both our collective mental health crisis and our global problems at large, is a return to the higher wisdom of the Heart.
Consuelo practices Classical Acupuncture, essentially, a heart-centered therapy that is oriented at revitalizing your true purpose and wellbeing. She focuses on addressing psycho-emotional disorders (stress, anxiety, depression) from their root cause ultimately guiding you to find your true North and share your unique gifts with the world.

Being Health Questions
What should a new client know about working with you?
I will help you navigate your healing journey with wisdom, compassion and deep knowing, caring to meet you where you are at, while supporting the flowering of your true wellbeing and highest expression. I have a gift for the deep and necessary question, the one that will cut through old habits of mind and lead you to new, heart-based insight.
Do you have experience working with any specific types of patients?
I work with clients who are seeking psycho-emotional relief from stress, anxiety and depression. Combining the wisdom of Classical Acupuncture with my work as a Purpose Guide™, I support those who feel at a crossroads of their life, ready for a change (e.g. career, relationship, calling) but feel stuck and uncertain about which direction to take. My practice also cares to support clients who are confronted with cancer.
What do you find most interesting about Being Health's integrated care model?
Being Health is positioned to make a meaningful difference in mental health care. Its vision and holistic approach place it on the cutting edge, as a uniquely integrated care model. Being Health offers a diverse set of mental health care services (e.g., psychiatry, psychotherapy, nutrition, acupuncture and ketamine infusions) all under one roof, delivered by an extraordinary team of practitioners, to support your mind and body wellbeing.
What's the most memorable trip you've ever taken?
Backpacking for 9 months off the beaten path through Mexico and Guatemala. The journey initiated me to the path of becoming a healer. My work with the United Nations took me to remote areas of Peru and Laos, researching the life of extremely poor villages. These experiences opened my heart to the reality of our intrinsic unity, inter-connectivity and interdependence.
