About Tasha
Hello, my name is Dr. Tasha Vitales. Please feel free to call me Tasha. I am a Certified Peer Support Specialist. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I have several years in the Behavioral & Mental Health field. I am passionate about mental health & people navigating the NICU journey.
My Recovery Story
I am no longer diagnosed with PPD or PPA. Since my twins has been thriving, smiling, and enjoying life, I continue to bring awareness to families of the NICU journey by donating new baby items to the NICU. I also continue to encourage hope to people that are currently going through the journey & adjusting to post NICU life, and what life looks like post NICU. I want to remind individuals to practice self-care. My self- care include having a cup of coffee in the morning, enjoying nature, reading, walking, and sightseeing.
My Motivation To Help
My NICU journey started when my twins were born at 23 weeks, 1 pound babies, nano preemies. Their bodies could fit my entire hand. During my miracle twins NICU journey, I was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety. My twins spent 1 year in the NICU. Post NICU, they came home on breathing and respiratory support. I had to adjust as a medically complex mom. I had to rediscover myself. I knew once my twins were discharged from the NICU, fully recovered, and all of us were strong enough, I wanted to make a difference, and help more people navigate the NICU journey and their overall mental health. My goal was to remind individuals to never give up and believe in yourself, despite feeling in a dark place. I want to encourage individuals, although we may fall at times, we must always get back up because we have the strength and courage to do so. My goal is to remind individuals to breathe, bring hope, and resiliency.
