Growing up in Ghana, talk therapy and mental illness was not a subject of discussion in my culture. I became fascinated with talk therapy during my college years in America. I have over 15yrs experience in behavioral health and have worked with with adults with serious mental illnessess, children, families and groups.

I’m LaToya T. Newman, MS, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with master’s degrees in both Marriage and Family Therapy and Criminal Justice Sciences. My background allows me to look beyond symptoms alone and consider the relational, environmental, and systemic experiences that shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and respond to life’s challenges.

I work with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I particularly enjoy supporting individuals and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, explore relational patterns, strengthen communication, and heal from experiences that continue to impact how they show up in relationships and daily life.

My work is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and relational. I pay attention not only to what is happening on the surface, but also to the deeper emotional experiences, family dynamics, and life experiences influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I am especially mindful of cultural experiences, family systems, and the impact of past environments on emotional safety and connection.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, insightful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment while also gently challenging patterns that may no longer be serving you. I believe healing and growth happen when we better understand ourselves, feel emotionally safe, and begin addressing things at the root.

Welcome! I have been in private practice for 4 years, following clinical experience in both in-patient and outpatient substance abuse and dual-diagnosis treatment. I work with individuals and couples, and a significant focus of my practice is work with teens and young adults. I so look forward to meeting you!

Let’s be honest—life can feel like a lot sometimes. Maybe you're carrying the weight of things that have happened to you. Maybe you're stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—feeling anxious, depressed, numb, or just totally disconnected. Or maybe your relationship is hanging on by a thread after too many fights, too much silence, or a betrayal that’s left you both reeling. You don’t have to keep going through this alone. I help individuals and couples who are feeling overwhelmed, lost, or stuck—whether it’s because of trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles such as persistent conflict or infidelity.
