Meet

Sabrina Sarro, LCSW

My name is Sabrina Sarro (they/them/theirs) and I am the founder of Bubble Gum Therapy. I am an American mixed-race/Black person who was raised by my Haitian (hailing from Petit-Goȃve) and Indian (hailing from Jamshedpur) family.

As a queer, intersex, and transgender individual, I pay deep homage to my multi-cultural and identity-expansive roots. I believe all witness work begins with vulnerably claiming the dimensional truth of who we are, and I would not be who I am today without the deeply delicious cultural mosaic of my beloved family and ancestors. I pay homage to my cultural and ethnic roots, hailing from India, Germany, Italy, and Haiti.
