Houston-Based Mother-Daughter Online Therapy App Launches
New Mother-Daughter Online Therapy App Launches Mother’s Day/Mental Health Awareness Month
Houston, TX (May 2023) -– Passport Journeys is the first mother-daughter teletherapy application ever created and now available for download in Apple and Google Play app stores. In the current market, there are various applications for teletherapy that support individual, couples, and group therapy; however, an application specifically targeting the dyadic mother-daughter relationship has yet to hit the market. Carefully designed with the help of 7 licensed behavioral health clinicians from the Houston area, the Passport Journeys app is the first online therapy application that serves the mother-daughter pair exclusively.
“I wish that it didn’t take a terminal illness for my mother and I to prioritize our relationship.” Lacey Tezino, Founder and CEO of Passport Journeys
The origin of the app was born out of CEO & Founder Lacey Tezino’s own grief journey from losing her mother to stage 4 lung cancer. She realized that her and her mother only truly prioritized their own bond, healing, and reconciliation after being told her mother only had nine months left of her life. After this news, they began planning fun activities together, and there were no questions off limits as it was their goal to close their story in a beautiful way. After her mother’s death, she vowed to help other mother-daughter pairs become more intentional without a terminal illness.
Utilizing the app’s innovative design of bi-weekly video therapy sessions, prescribed activities, journal prompts, and worksheets, mother and daughters who didn’t previously have access to therapy due to physical barriers, financial barriers, or shortage of mental health professionals, can now begin improving their relationship right at their fingertips.
Upon downloading the app and registering, each pair is prompted to complete a short questionnaire and is then matched with a licensed clinician who will guide their relationship journey. The standard cost for therapy will be $280 for the intake month and $220 per month per pair.
The app is available for download in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

About Passport Journeys
Passport Journeys’ primary mission is to facilitate bonding, communication, and healing between mother-daughter relationships. The mother-daughter bond doesn’t necessarily have to be broken or non-existent. The application was designed to support the adult mother and daughter relationship wherever they are in the relationship spectrum and provide a platform in which each individual feels safe to come together and focus on the beauty of their relationship.
With approximately 120 million women in America, 85 million of them being mothers, there is a large population that would benefit specifically from the services this application provides. Although mother and daughter pairs try to seek therapy, there are sometimes little to no options for them because of their geographical location, the flexibility of appointment times, the cost being too expensive, or they simply do not feel comfortable stepping into a therapist’s office. Thus, this application provides the bridge to connect mother and daughter pairs to mental health services that otherwise would not have access to by allowing them to receive therapy in the comfort of their own space, is relatively cheaper than traditional therapy, and has more flexibility in scheduling appointments.
