OUR TEAM

My name is Elaine Hernandez-Cordova, but my friends all call me Elena! I am an Omnistic, bi-sexual, Latin-American psychotherapist, life coach and author. For the last 20 years, I have dedicated my life to practicing a holistic approach to lifestyle adjustments for myself, my family and the systems we all reside in. I like to consider all of humanity to be my family, and I try to reflect this in my work.

My name is Geraldine (she/her), everyone calls me Gerry. I’m a first-generation Caribbean-born graduate, a proud single mother of three young men, and a Mental Health Counselor practicing under a limited permit. My philosophy is simple: “Each one teach one. If you didn’t come from a healthy family, make sure a healthy family comes from you.”
I earned dual master’s degrees in Health Education & Promotion and Clinical Mental Health
Counseling, with an undergraduate in Sociology from Lehman College. Since 2005, I’ve worked in Health and Human Services, and these experiences shaped my belief that healing is holistic and rooted in each person’s unique needs.
