You’ve been carrying so much. And somehow, you’ve kept going. But now? Something in you is asking to be cared for, not just carried.

Who I Am

You’ve been carrying so much, yet still finding ways to hold it all together. But there comes a moment when carrying isn’t enough when what you need is a space to be cared for, not just to endure.

I’m A’Laina Newbold, LCSW, and I created The Therapeutic Couch as a place where women can set down the weight, exhale, and step into healing that feels both intentional and transformative.

​

The Heart Behind The Couch

The Therapeutic Couch was born from a truth I know deeply that Black and Brown women deserve therapy that feels as restorative as it is effective. Not sterile. Not transactional. But a space that meets you with presence, intimacy, and a quiet kind of luxury that reminds you: your healing is worthy of care that feels good.

I don’t believe healing begins with a checklist or a diagnosis. It begins when you are truly seen and heard when you no longer have to explain your existence, your strength, or your softness.

What You’ll Find Here

    •    Therapy designed with intention, for women navigating heartbreak, burnout, and emotional heaviness.

    •    An approach that blends clinical depth with emotional presence no rush, no judgment, no surface-level “fixes.”

    •    A culturally attuned space that honors your lived experience and restores the parts of you hidden beneath survival.

    •    Support that feels elevated, personal and transformative because your healing deserves nothing less.
