Lorena Abenojar, MSW , LICSW

Description of Counselor/Practice

I am passionate about social justice and equity issues affecting historically disadvantaged groups. I work with individuals and families, to help promote self-preservation strategies for helping professionals experiencing aggressions, burnout, and compassion fatigue. In our therapeutic partnership, we will focus on identifying how you can have optimal experiences of nourishment, celebration and healing, to help you acknowledge and center the unheard voices of emotions triggered by trauma, stress, and oppression. I’m committed to centering Black, Indigenous, People Of Color experiences through a decolonization, liberation, and social justice framework that incorporates healing centered engagement that embraces a holistic view of well-being that includes spiritual domains of health. My hope is that you will shine, out of the shadows of invisibility, so that your gifts are seen and heard in spaces that try to confine and silence you.
