Hello and welcome! I am A'Laina Newbold, Founder and Chief Clinical Officer (CCO) of The Therapeutic Couch. I am honored that you've chosen to explore working alongside our amazingly dedicated and highly qualified clinicians. 

 

We are passionate about healing black/brown teens and women of color by addressing the complexities of life while empowering them to discover their true purpose. Minority women face greater mental health risks and burdens of mental health and health disorder because of the disparities working against us. With this in mind, we've created a space for women to share their unique stories.

 

We desire to destigmatize the myth of mental illness and mental wellness within communities of color by creating open dialogue and educating the public about the unique challenges that people of color face, while being aware of our own attitudes and beliefs and reducing the bias and negative assumptions about seeking help.
