Meet The Board Members
Luis Cornejo
Treasurer
Luis is a Queer, Indigenous, Latinx(e) Bilingual Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the son of two immigrants and the first in my family to obtain both a bachelors and masters degree in the U.S.
Luis’ therapeutic interests include working with trauma, anxiety, depression, creatives, artists, influencers, the LGBTQ+ community, Latinx, and BIPOC folx. He is also the founder of PsychoSocial, a multimedia platform created to help provide mental health education.
Adriana Alejandre
President
Adriana is a Psychotherapist, Consultant and Speaker from Burbank, California. She owns a bilingual group practice in California and is the founder of Latinx Therapy, a directory and bilingual podcast that destigmatizes mental health myths & provides education to combat the stigma.
Her passion for launching a foundation stemmed from financial hardships her family went through her entire life, and being unable to afford specialized therapy services for herself during postpartum, and currently for her son.
