Verified Listings & Professional Directories
Alafiora maintains a small number of verified listings across professional directories and clinical platforms. Each listing reflects accurate, current information about Dr. Esther Lapite-Garrett's licensure, specialties, and practice details.
This page exists as a single point of reference. It is not a claim of endorsement, accreditation, or affiliation by any organization listed below.
No section by that word. The menu holds the complete site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Alafiora Accredited by the Organizations Listed on This Page?
No, and the difference is worth stating plainly. A listing in a professional directory is not an accreditation, a certification, or an endorsement. Directories verify that a provider holds the license they claim to hold and that the information in the listing is accurate. They do not evaluate, rate, or vouch for the quality of a provider's clinical work. Alafiora's credentials are its licensure, which can be verified directly with the licensing board of each state.
How does Alafiora verify these listings?
Every listing on this page was created by Dr. Lapite-Garrett or with her direct authorization, and each is reviewed periodically so that licensure, specialties, contact details, and practice information stay current. If a listing for Alafiora or for Dr. Lapite-Garrett appears somewhere not named on this page, it was not created by this practice and its accuracy cannot be confirmed here.
Why isn't Alafiora listed everywhere it has applied?
Directory listings depend on each platform's own review process, timelines, and criteria, all of which sit outside this practice's control. Some applications remain pending. Others are declined for reasons unrelated to a provider's qualifications, such as geographic coverage or membership requirements. This page reflects only what has actually been verified and published, and it is updated as that changes.
Reporting an Inaccurate Listing
If information about Alafiora or Dr. Lapite-Garrett appears inaccurate on any directory, or if a listing appears somewhere not named on this page, please report it through the Compliance Contact Form or by writing to legal@alafiora.com.
Every session at Alafiora is held by one licensed psychologist
Dr. Esther Lapite-Garrett is the founder and sole practitioner of Alafiora. There are no associates, no rotating providers, and no case handoffs: the person who reads a client's history in the first session is the same person still holding it two years later. She is licensed in New Mexico and Indiana, with additional state licensure underway.
Her training is doctoral-level, which typically extends several years beyond a master's-level license in assessment, diagnosis, and the treatment of complex, overlapping presentations. She keeps a deliberately small caseload so that depth is possible, participates in ongoing peer consultation and clinical training, and maintains her own personal therapy.
Whatever brought someone to this page today is never put on trial here
A consultation is a brief conversation with no obligation attached. Those already certain they are ready are equally welcome to begin directly with a first session.
