As a Latina, I know there is a strong stigma associated with seeking mental health in my community. I want to change that. Therapy is a valid means of healing; mental health is just as important as physical health. You don't have to experience a lifetime of suffering—OCD is treatable. My other areas of focus include anxiety, depression, and ADHD; I treat OCD in conjunction with other symptomatology. Let's experience breakthroughs you may not think are possible.

Why our members love working with Elida
C.H.
I am so grateful to have found Elida as my therapist. Not only have I made huge strides on my contamination OCD with her support, but the skills she has taught me have been applicable in many other areas of my life as well (handling uncertainty in general, general anxiety, etc.). I come away from every session with new perspectives and understandings, plus a renewed energy to continue on my mental health journey. I couldn't ask for a better therapist.
G.H.
Today was truly a breakthrough. I now understand clearly something that will be immensely helpful in my future journey. I wish I had known this 50 years ago.
