About Us
Why we Help...
Therapy is a gift. It is a chance to be finally heard, understood, and supported.
-Bessel van der Kolk
New Therapeutic Health Environment found that one of the setbacks to success in the mental health treatment industry continues to be the lack of emphasis on the impact of clients’ environments on their functioning. We believe that by focusing beyond a single problem for a person, we are able to enrich their lives by helping them make better choices in general though their life.
We also have seen that positive changes to a person’s environment is very instrumental to their level of success in treatment.
This organization was formed with the premise of achieving this very important service goal.
