I am LaToya T. Newman, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who primarily works with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Many of the people I serve are high-functioning yet internally overwhelmed. They may feel disconnected, reactive, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. My work is grounded in attachment, emotional awareness, and systems thinking. I help clients explore how stress, past experiences, and relational dynamics continue to influence their present lives. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we work to understand and confront the emotional and relational patterns at the root of distress. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), trauma-informed care, and relational approaches to guide meaningful change. Therapy with me is collaborative, structured, and intentional. My goal is to help clients move from survival mode to emotional clarity, stronger communication, and more secure connection. While my primary focus is adults and couples, I also work with teenagers navigating anxiety, family stress, and life transitions.
In our first session, we focus on understanding your story and clarifying what brings you to therapy. I ask structured questions to explore your history, relationships, and current stressors. Together, we identify patterns, define goals, and establish a clear direction for our work. You can expect a supportive yet purposeful environment focused on meaningful progress.
What sets my work apart is my ability to identify emotional and relational patterns in real time. I integrate trauma-informed care with attachment-based and systems-informed approaches to help clients move beyond surface-level insight. Clients often share that they feel both deeply understood and appropriately challenged toward growth.
I’m best prepared to work with individuals and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, their emotional patterns, and the ways relationships impact their lives. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted by repeated cycles in relationships, anxiety, trauma responses, or life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious and willing to look beneath the surface to better understand how past experiences, attachment, culture, and family dynamics shape present struggles. Together, we slow things down, build awareness, and work toward healthier, more secure ways of relating to self and others.
Other specialties
I identify as
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals and couples understand the emotional patterns beneath anxiety, conflict, and disconnection. We identify attachment needs driving reactive cycles and work to restore emotional safety, strengthen communication, and create lasting change at the root.
Trauma Informed Care
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, which means I recognize how past experiences and chronic stress shape emotional responses and relationship dynamics. I prioritize safety, collaboration, and pacing, helping clients process difficult experiences while building stability and resilience.
Relational
Relational therapy allows us to explore how your experiences with others influence how you see yourself, communicate, and connect today. Together, we examine patterns within relationships—past and present—to improve connection, reduce conflict, and foster healthier emotional bonds.

I enjoyed it surprisingly. She created a comfortable and welcoming enviroment and made it easy for me to open up.. Our first session was conversational while being thoughtful and insightful. She listened. We laughed, I cried and I felt genuinely heard. I am looking forward to continuing the process and going deeper in our future sessions and continuing the work. I loved her energy a lot #goodvibes
