Services
The New Beginnings Center for Counseling and Integrative Health has served the Ventura County community since 1982. New Beginnings was founded and has always been owned and operated by licensed mental health care professionals, understanding our clients' needs as the best guide to treatment.

The Center is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team of practitioners that includes licensed Marriage Family Therapists, licensed Physical Therapist, licensed bodyworker, dietitian, and MD.Individual therapy is a collaboration between the therapist and client with the goal of facilitating change and improving overall quality of life.
When young children come to New Beginnings they don't always have the words to tell their therapist how they feel. The therapist will work with the child, the parents, siblings, and others. It is important for children to feel safe and comfortable. This is why art, toys, puppets and more are part of the play therapy room at New Beginnings Counseling Center.

Report
I would encourage anyone to give the services offered from the New Beginnings Center a try! I am really glad that I was open-minded enough to give the New Beginnings IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) a try, although I was very skeptical and resistant at first. In hindsight, now I realize that the resistance came from a place of fear and shame. I was in a very dark place and I did not believe I could make it out. I had a very limited range of resilience, and I was fluctuating between extreme states of depression and anxiety. I was really terrified of going inward to do the work and facing my demons
