About MillennialTheraMom
Hi & Hola! I’m Johanna. I became a mom in November 2023 and my whole life changed. It hasn’t been an easy transition but it’s one I would do all over again. I love who I am becoming as a mom and I am dedicated to helping other parent’s ground in who they are becoming as well!
Intention:
I created MillennialTheraMom to help other parents (especially Latinx/BIPOC who have been underserved and underrepresented in healing spaces) gain the tools, resources, and support they need to take care of their mental health. Many of us have faced barriers such as stigma, insurance, cost & more in our therapeutic healing paths so I aim to create a space that is accessible, supportive & fun!
My vision is to provide support groups, workshops, events, dance parties & more “non-traditional” but therapeutic community spaces. Healing is not “one-size-fits-all” and needs to incorporate your own needs, cultural traditions, communities, support systems, faith, interests, values & more. I aim to be a bridge to whatever that healing looks like for you & will do my best to point you to additional resources and supports that could aid you in your journey.
The Invitation:
I invite you to a journey of breaking the cycle of burned out and under-supported survival parenting. The kind of parenting that leaves no room for your own emotional needs, and even less room for that of your children. This will take the work of doing what your parent’s didn’t have access to (like practicing mindfulness and prioritizing rest), or what they weren’t able to do (ask for help and set boundaries), but it’s worth it! It’s not just for you, but generations from now. Generational trauma has been passed down through oppressive systems and harmful culture but I believe you got what it takes to start something new! Better yet, let’s start it at the foundation of your parenting journey, one baby step at at time (pun intended)! Make sure to join the online community or email list to stay posted!
Education/Training:
I have my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University (concentration in Bilingual Latinx Mental Health) and my Bachelors in Psychology from Harvard University. I have received advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International, years of experience working with trauma, and additional training in mindfulness & postpartum anxiety.
I also have a limited number of 1:1 therapy spots for new moms experiencing anxiety (learn more here).
