Our Founder

Elaine Morales-Thomason, M.Ed., is a seasoned therapeutic and educational consultant with over 30 years of experience guiding young people and families through complex educational, emotional, and developmental challenges. Elaine’s overarching goal has always been to help young people navigate their lives and discover their path. For the past 25 years, she has grown a successful private practice she founded, working closely with clients to create personalized plans and orchestrate stakeholders to address their unique needs and empower them to achieve long-term success. Elaine brings a track record of proven success and a deep belief in the power of a targeted, holistic, relational approach.

​

Elaine’s approach is rooted in her extensive background in psychology and education. Elaine received both her Bachelors Degree in Psychology and her Masters Degree, as a Donovan Scholar, in Education from Boston College. Her expertise lies in integrating academic guidance, mental health support, and family dynamics into a holistic framework tailored to each individual. Throughout her career, she has helped countless students overcome significant barriers—ranging from mental health challenges to systemic educational inequities—by providing mentorship, building actionable plans, and connecting them with vital resources. Elaine’s work is characterized by her unwavering belief in the potential of every young person and her ability to inspire hope and facilitate meaningful change.

​

Recognizing the systemic challenges faced by minority women in underserved communities, Elaine founded The Morales Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to creating sustainable generational change. The organization provides targeted, multi-phased mentorship, holistic academic guidance, enrichment experiences, and family engagement, equipping these young women to succeed in higher education, launch impactful careers, and become leaders in their communities. The Morales Foundation reflects Elaine’s personal commitment to addressing inequities in access to quality education and professional opportunities, particularly for those who may not otherwise have the resources to succeed. Elaine’s ultimate goal is to create sustainable generational change by equipping young, underserved women with the resources, mentorship, and skills to succeed and lead.
