Our mission is helping others
New Journeys Behavioral Health is Dedicated to Your Wellbeing
Our East meets West concept provides expertise in finding effective medicine(s) for reducing problematic symptoms to improve quality of life. Through prescription management, holistic treatments, individual and group therapies, we identify a pathway to improving performance in areas of personal wellness that includes physical, emotional and cognitive health as well as spiritual, social and professional aspirations.
We get started with this process by having you complete a series of intake forms as well as a comprehensive mental health screening evaluation. Once these initial steps have been completed, we will meet for an initial consultation, where we discuss the results of your screening, identify an initial treatment plan, and lay out a roadmap for success.
Why Choose Us?
New Journeys Behavioral Health makes it possible to get superior care while removing yourself from your current environment. Many people need to isolate themselves from their home life, as too many triggers are present. By doing the same, you can give all of your attention to your mental health recovery.
