Healing That Honors Who You Are

Welcome to Elevation C³ — where your journey toward holistic well-being is met with deep understanding and genuine respect. We specialize in culturally competent coaching and counseling services that honor the unique strengths, challenges, and experiences of the African American community.

Why Dr. Sablo?

He Does Not Just Understand It. He Carries It.

Dr. Sablo grew up in the Marble Hill Houses — a public housing project in the Bronx, New York. He does not just understand the African American experience from a clinical distance. He carries it. He has lived the weight of systemic barriers, the power of community, and the transformative possibility that exists when someone truly believes in you.

As an African American and Latino man, Dr. Sablo built Elevation C³ specifically to be the space he needed when he was coming up — a place where Black and Brown people do not have to explain their world before they can begin to heal it.

A proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. — the first Black Greek-Letter Organization for African American men — and former National Facilitator of Adodi, Dr. Sablo's commitment to the Black community runs deep, runs wide, and runs lifelong.

How It Works

Your Path to
Elevation

A clear, supported process — from your very first conversation with Dr. Sablo to lasting transformation in every area of your life.

01
Make the Call

Many clients think they need support and plan to seek help "some day." TODAY is that day. Reaching out is the single most powerful step you will take.

02
Have Your Schedule Close By

We may need to schedule your consultation call to work around your existing commitments. Even better — we may be able to book your first session right away.

03
Plan Ahead

Your consultation will take 15 to 30 minutes. Give yourself time to re-center afterward. Discussing personal challenges can be emotional — especially the first time.

04
Tell the Truth

You have been carrying this long enough. Be honest about where you need support. You cannot overcome or heal from what you cannot name. This is your safe space.
