The Purple Couch Therapy

So many of us were taught that our worth lives in what we give, in how we show up for everyone else.
But you deserve to be held, too.
To be poured into. To be loved without having to earn it through care or labor.

Let this be your reminder:
Receiving care doesn’t make you selfish. It makes you human.
You’re allowed to rest in the softness you’ve been offering everyone else. 💜

Meet Ashlan, a therapist at Purple Couch Therapy who helps children and teens explore emotions, transitions, and identity through play, art, and mindful connection.

Her approach is gentle, curious, and relationship-rooted, blending structure with the freedom of creative expression. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, big feelings, or finding their voice, Ashlan helps them reconnect with joy, regulate emotions, and build confidence as they grow.

✨ Because when young people feel safe, seen, and understood, healing happens naturally.

I hope you remember , if you feel urgency in your body, it’s not a flaw. There’s chaos all around us right now. You can still be present in it, even if it’s just one percent more. That one percent matters. 💜💜

Sending love to those preparing to hold it all together this holiday season showing up for family they deeply love, even when being around them stirs something tender, heavy, or activating.

You’re not alone in navigating that both. 💜

You don’t have to prove your worth to be loved.

You don’t need to shrink, overperform, or earn your way into spaces that see you as too much or not enough.
Belonging isn’t about fitting in, it’s about being met where you are.

The right people, the right spaces, will never ask you to perform.

They’ll want you to exhale.

💜 You are already worthy of belonging.

“I hope you’re no longer confusing survival with strength.”

You were never meant to live in survival mode forever.
Sometimes what we call strength is really endurance under harm.

You deserve safety, not just survival all the time. 💜

The “haunting” of unacknowledged harm, microaggressions, and defensiveness doesn’t disappear when people mean well.

Let’s not keep calling harm “a misunderstanding.”

You are allowed to ask your therapist hard questions. 🖤
Your care should honor all of who you are—your culture, your identity, your lived experience.

✨ Therapy should be a place where you feel safe, seen, and whole—not where you shrink. Asking these questions helps you protect your energy and choose care that’s aligned, liberatory, and culturally grounded.

💜 You deserve a therapist who gets it.

In January, we’re launching Reclaiming Healing in Supervision — a 3-day training designed for LCSWs and LMFTs who want to step into supervision while centering culture, intersectionality, and systemic harm. 🌿
This isn’t just about upgrading your license. It’s about becoming the kind of supervisor our field needs right now — someone who can guide with liberation, equity, and care.
📌 Dates: January 21–23 (payment plans available)

👥 Small cohort, value-aligned supervisors only

📩 DM us or email to join the waitlist

Let’s reclaim healing in supervision — because the next generation of therapists deserve leaders who see the whole picture. 💜

Survivors are often told, “You need to forgive to move on.” But forgiveness is not required for healing.

Healing after domestic violence is about reclaiming safety. It’s about learning to trust your own body, your own voice, your own worth again.

💜 Healing belongs to you — not to the person who harmed you.
