Boundaries don’t push people away, they show them how to love you better. It is not an easy practice if you have never been taught them.

They tell others (and yourself) what feels safe, what allows you to stay connected without losing yourself. For so many of us, boundaries once meant fear of rejection, of being “too much,” of being alone.

But healing teaches us that boundaries are love in practice.
They protect connection, not prevent it.

💜 Boundaries are not about shutting people out, they’re about guiding you back home to yourself and making relationships healthier.

"Bell hooks’ Ingredients of Love"

bell hooks says love is not a feeling , it’s an action, a practice, a discipline rooted in how we choose to show up.

Real love is built from these ingredients:
1. Care
Tending to another’s wellbeing with gentleness and intention.
Love shows up through what we do, not what we promise.

2. Commitment
Choosing the relationship again and again.
Staying present, even when it’s uncomfortable.

3. Trust
Knowing you can lean without falling.
Consistency creates safety.

4. Responsibility
Holding ourselves accountable for the impact we have.
Owning our choices, our harm, our healing.

5. Respect
Honoring the other person’s humanity, boundaries, and freedom.
Love does not demand shrinking or silencing.

6. Knowledge
Being willing to truly see someone.
Learning who they are, not who we imagine them to be.

May your healing be deep enough to draw in people who recognize your light.
May you learn that vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s what allows you to be truly known. ✨

Because you deserve to take up space even in your healing. For so long, many of us learned that naming our needs made us “too much,” “demanding,” or “selfish.”
But your needs are not shameful, they’re signals of where your care and boundaries live.

In healing, we learn that love built on silence isn’t real connection.
We learn that asking is not begging.
We learn that honoring our needs is honoring our truth.

💜 You are allowed to ask. You are allowed to receive. You are allowed to rest.

Meet Natalia (or Nat!), an LMSW under clinical supervision

Nat is passionate about creating spaces where bodies of culture, LGBTQIA+ youth, couples and families can feel safe, seen, and empowered. Her approach is human-centered, creative, and rooted in her own culture, blending art, play, and narrative therapy to help clients reconnect with their stories and strengths.

Your first session with Nat is all about getting familiar with one another, exploring what healing looks like for you, and taking that next step together.

✨ Ready to meet Nat or learn more?
Book your first session through our link in bio or send us a message! We’d love to support your journey.

Therapists were never taught how to run a business and that was intentional. I came into this work differently. I knew since I was 21 then that I wanted to build something and create a safe space for myself and people like me.

Six years as a business owner of trial, error, investment, and transformation (let’s call it “research and development”) taught me what I now get to teach others, how to hold space for yourself while building a practice that actually sustains you.

Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. It asks you to ground deeply, to shift spiritually and practically, and to let go of everything that keeps you small.

My best clients?
💜Clinicians done with agency life.
💜Folks ready to leave a group practice.
💜Therapists tired of wasting time and costly mistakes trying to figure it all out alone.

Get help. It’s worth it.

My 1:1 coaching is for those who can be led by a Black womxn, ready to build a business that feeds you, not drains you.

We’ll focus on:
✨ Embodiment
✨ Structure
✨ Letting go
✨ Leading with intention

💜 3 coaching slots open for February

Love doing therapy with my grandma Mable in the background and her sister. 🌿

I know her spirit is on my side rooting for me, she also is a reminder of stuff I don’t want to carry in this generation going forward.

When I dreamed up Purple Couch Therapy, I wanted it to feel like home. That’s why when people walk into Purple Couch, they often say it feels like stepping into their grandmother’s/auntie or tia’s house. Cozy, safe, a little sanctuary from the chaos of the world outside.

Because the environment you heal in is everything. I never wanted therapy here to feel like stale fluorescent lights in a sterile office. I wanted it to feel like belonging, like rest, like home.

💜 Welcome to The Purple Couch.

We live in a world that teaches us to earn rest, to see stillness as weakness and slowing down as something to explain away. But your body is not a machine. Your worth is not measured by your productivity.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your pause.
You can rest simply because you exist.

Let your rest be unapologetic. Let it be sacred.
💜 You deserve to slow down without guilt, without permission, without shame.

Pressous has open slots and that rarely happens! Meet Pressous Green, LMSW — a therapist who believes healing happens when we feel safe enough to just be ourselves. 🌿

Pressous holds space for exhausted people to relax, talk through life, and find freedom in their emotions. She brings calm, empathy, and even laughter into the room because healing doesn’t always have to be heavy.
She supports individuals, families, teens, and adults, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ and minority communities.

Her sessions feel real, safe, and hopeful, like a deep breath after holding it in for too long.

✨ Your first session? Think of it as the start of a friendship with your future self.

💜 Accepting new clients now
Ready to start feeling like yourself again?
