Featured on SDVoyager discussing the Journey and Impact of Yanira Hernandez

By Yanira Hernandez

Yanira Hernandez’s story, as featured on SDVoyager, is a compelling tale of resilience, dedication, and success. Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles in a traditional Mexican household, Yanira’s journey is marked by her pursuit of education and a deep commitment to her community. She graduated from UCLA and later obtained her Master’s in Social Work at USC, followed by a Doctorate in Education. Yanira’s career in social work, mental health, and education is driven by her desire to address systemic challenges faced by her community. As the owner of Pa’lante Therapy, Inc., an online private practice, she focuses on providing culturally responsive therapy to BIPOC individuals, specializing in areas like trauma, anxiety, depression, and imposter syndrome. Her personal experiences as a first-generation professional and daughter of Mexican immigrants deeply inform her practice. Yanira’s definition of success has evolved to embrace authenticity and self-acceptance, moving beyond external expectations to find true liberation and fulfillment.

#Understoodpartner Comunidad, October is ADHD Awareness Month and we are debunking common ADHD myths in the Latine community featuring “La Tia”. Common ADHD myths include that only boys have ADHD and ADHD can be outgrown. However, ADHD affects both boys and girls, although girls are often underdiagnosed because their symptoms can manifest differently, such as being more inattentive rather than hyperactive. Also, while some symptoms may change over time, ADHD is often a lifelong condition that requires ongoing management into adulthood.
Addressing these myths in the Latine community is crucial for increasing understanding, encouraging early intervention, and reducing stigma associated with ADHD. 

I’ve partnered with @understoodorg to increase access to resources for parents on how to support their children with ADHD and other learning and thinking differences. To access free resources in English and Spanish including articles, podcasts, psychoeducational handouts, and community groups, visit understood.org or click the link in bio. 

Let’s continue to educate las tias and our comunidad on ADHD. Pa’delante!
