Professional Bio
Sera Johanas is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas and the founder of Word to the Mother Therapy. With a warm, grounded approach, Sera specializes in supporting mothers, individuals, and families navigating life’s emotional shifts — from anxiety and grief to relationship challenges and identity transitions.
Sera brings years of experience working with adults, college students, and young professionals seeking support for anxiety, depression, panic, and life transitions. Her passion for maternal health emerged after becoming a mother herself, deepening her understanding of the emotional complexity and transformative power of the perinatal journey. She is especially committed to holding space for women as they navigate the beauty and the weight of motherhood.
Sera holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University and has advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. Her therapeutic style integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and attachment-based work. She believes in adapting each session to the unique needs of her clients while gently helping them reconnect to their inner strengths.
Clients describe Sera as calming, intuitive, and affirming. She knows that healing takes courage — and that small steps can lead to powerful change. Whether you're facing postpartum challenges, feeling stuck in patterns, or simply needing space to exhale, Sera is here to walk with you, one conversation at a time.
