Blake “Newt” Newton

I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (M.A., December 2026), preparing for a career in trauma-informed counseling with refugees and people recovering from trauma. I’m trained in EMDR, CBT and ACT, and I speak intermediate Levantine Arabic.

This site collects my counseling resources, essays and poems, graphic design work, apps I’ve built, and the books I keep returning to.

• Counseling: graduate papers on Internal Family Systems and on trauma care for Arab clients, plus a trauma-informed reading list
• Writings: essays, poems, and the graduate paper Restoring Dignity
• Projects: the apps Thicket, Ironwood and Willow, a family history research project, and graphic design
• Library: books, quotations and recommendations
• Contact
