Doctor Therapy Mom®: A Mental Health Podcast for Families
Doctor Therapy Mom is a mother-daughter mental health podcast for teens, emerging adults, and parents. It is hosted by Dr. Angel Knoverek, founder of Mindshift Center, and her daughter Victorya, who is studying to become a counselor. Because one host is a therapist and the other is a counseling student, you hear both sides of the conversation.
What This Mental Health Podcast Is About?
Angel and Victorya believe mental health conversations should be honest, heartfelt, and maybe even a little fun. Each episode pairs a therapist with more than 25 years of experience and a young adult living these questions right now, with the occasional “did we just say that out loud?” moment.
As a result, parents hear what is really going on for young people, and teens and young adults hear a therapist’s view without the pressure of a session.

Meet the Hosts
One of them is a licensed therapist, while the other is a young adult bringing fresh insight and lived experience. Together, they blend clinical wisdom with everyday realness.
PhD, LCPC, ACS
Angel has worked with children, adolescents, and adults for more than 25 years and specializes in complex trauma. On the show, she brings the therapist’s chair and, because she’s a mom too, a parent’s perspective.
Co-host · Counseling student
Victorya is studying to become a counselor, so she brings the college classroom, her own lived experience, and an honest look at what it is like to navigate these years today.
How the Podcast Connects to Mindshift Center
Doctor Therapy Mom grew out of the same work Angel does every day at Mindshift Center, a trauma-responsive therapy practice and clinical training center in Quincy, Illinois. The podcast is a free way to hear that perspective at home.
When you want individual support, telehealth therapy services for residents of Illinois and Missouri are available through Mindshift Center, along with in-person sessions in Quincy.
