Therapist

There are things that happen during pregnancy and after birth that nobody warned you about — and even fewer people know how to sit with you through. I'm Selena, a licensed clinical social worker and perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C). I work with Black and Brown women, mothers, and LGBTQIA+ clients who are navigating some of life's most tender and complicated moments: becoming a parent, healing old wounds that pregnancy surfaced, or simply trying to figure out who you are underneath the roles you carry. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with the kind of healing that your grandmother might have known — Reiki, sound healing, ancestral wisdom, and the power of community. I don't practice therapy in a vacuum. I understand that systemic barriers, intergenerational trauma, and the specific weight of being a Black or Brown woman in this world are not separate from your mental health. They are your mental health. I also facilitate Cultivating Grace, a perinatal mental health group for women who want to heal collectively — because sometimes the most powerful thing is knowing you're not alone.
