About Elaine Lourdes Afanador, LCSW

As a woman, Latina, mother, and social worker, I have lived through and witnessed the journey shaped by a set of societal ideals—a checklist, if you will—that are meant to define our lives and lead us to “success.” We push forward relentlessly, navigating the effects of trauma and other struggles, often earning accolades along the way. Yet, despite all of this, we can still find ourselves feeling disconnected from our true selves, as though our lives are not our own.

I work with BIPOC to break free from the contraints created by depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and other limiting beliefs that leave us feeling trapped. I use a variety of modalities/techniques including traditional talk therapy, CBT, IFS and Trauma Conscious Yoga Method (TCYM) to support your healing journey. In this space, we Choose to Flourish.

I am here to support you. Book a free consultation today:  https://secure.helloalma.com/providers/elaine-afanador/
