Our Parents Never Believed in Therapy | Licensed Mental Health Counselor Kiara Luna

Send us a text

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, I sat down with Kiara Luna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, proud Latina, from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 who is helping change the narrative around mental health in our community.

We dive deep into:
 • Our upbringing in Dominican households and the unspoken challenges many of us faced growing up
 • The generational trauma that often gets passed down without anyone even realizing it
 • How emotional dismissal shaped Kiara’s childhood and how she learned to find her voice
 • The dismissive parenting tactics that were common in our culture—and how they impacted us emotionally
 • Why therapy matters and how it’s helping us heal and parent differently
 • How our children’s upbringing will be radically different because of the work we’re doing to break these unhealthy cycles.

This is an authentic, raw, and insightful conversation about culture, healing, parenting, and breaking free from the old patterns that no longer serve us. If you come from a similar background, this episode will hit home—and it’s a must-watch for anyone raising children while carrying the weight of their own childhood experiences.
