Welcome! I’m so happy you are here, and I am grateful for the opportunity to walk beside you on your journey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider (PMH-C), and EMDR trained. My goal will always be to encourage and to help affirm your strengths, to meet you where your needs are, and to support you during whatever life or role transitions may occur. I am passionate about providing supportive, collaborative, nonjudgmental care and education to new parents (no matter the journey), those hoping to become parents, birthing persons, and pregnant individuals. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are so common, yet often minimized or overlooked. This time is incredibly challenging, isolating, overwhelming, and often accompanied by conflicting thoughts and feelings. I am here to help you recognize your strengths, and to help you achieve your desired level of functioning. Additionally, I enjoy providing individual and group therapy for LGBTQIA+, life transitions, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma, specifically utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I believe your mental health is important, and everyone deserves the opportunity to feel empowered, to grow, and to heal in a collaborative, peaceful, trauma informed environment.

Hello there! I'm Teresa Urbina, the founder of nurtuHER and a dedicated therapist specializing in supporting moms facing unique challenges during their transition into motherhood. Rejecting the notion that being a good mother requires sacrificing oneself, I embarked on this journey after experiencing the complexities of giving birth during a global pandemic. Navigating the isolation that often accompanies this new season of motherhood, I discovered my "why" in championing mamas to prioritize their mental health. Having personally weathered the chaos of sleepless nights and overwhelming days, I understand the struggles that can make you forget when you last had a shower. Motherhood is an incredible yet demanding journey, and my mission is to empower you to embrace both your role as a mom and your individual self.
