Johana Valentin, LPC-A

Middletown Team (She/Her)

My name is Johana Valentin, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I support college students and young adults in the Latino/Hispanic communities who are navigating anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, and identity challenges. My passion for this work is deeply rooted in my own lived experience.

As a first-generation Puerto Rican Latina, I have navigated challenges related to cultural identity, isolation, and a sense of belonging. These experiences shape my commitment to creating a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, grounded, and empowered as they reconnect with their identity, values, and inner strength. I have a special passion for supporting clients who identify as first- or second-generation immigrants as they navigate acculturation stress, family expectations, and the weight of being the “strong one” or the cycle-breaker in their families. Many of the people I work with are givers, people pleasers, and high achievers who have spent years prioritizing others while quietly carrying their own emotional burdens.

I am a humanistic, relational-based therapist who believes healing begins with self-awareness and understanding how your past experiences have shaped you, while also building a sense of empowerment to move forward. My therapy approach is grounded in culturally and spiritually aligned practices that allow us to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and explore what fulfillment and growth mean to you.

If you’re ready to begin a journey of healing, self-discovery, and reconnection, I’m here to walk alongside you.
