Meet Johanna

Hola, I'm Johanna

​

I’m a first-generation Latina with proud Mexican roots. Life hasn’t always been easy. I’ve faced poverty, violence, and trauma, but those experiences have shaped who I am today. They’ve taught me to see the beauty in both pain and joy and to hold deep compassion for others.

​

My faith has been a quiet guide through it all, reminding me of hope and purpose. From a young age, I felt called to help others heal, and that calling led me to the field of social work, where I’ve found great meaning in walking alongside others on their own healing journeys.

​

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. Social work isn’t just my career, it’s something I’m truly passionate about.

I’m here to help you reconnect with your purpose, find your strength, and remember that you matter.

​

From 2021 to 2024, I worked in child advocacy, supporting children, teens, and families impacted by trauma.

I focused on helping survivors of childhood abuse and those affected by physical and sexual violence find safety, healing, and strength.

That work taught me the power of compassion, trust, and connection in the healing process, and I had the privilege of witnessing incredible resilience and growth.

 

Since 2024, I’ve been bringing that same trauma-informed, compassionate approach to my private practice, creating a safe space for clients to explore their experiences, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful healing and growth.

​

I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
