Welcome to the NEW Health Behavioral Health page. Our team of providers are here to support your path to healing and wellness. You’re entering a space of holistic healing, and we’re honored to work with you on this journey.
NEW Health’s Behavioral Health team is formed by a group of licensed clinicians from various disciplines who believe in healing through community-based, holistic, and supportive treatment. Our services are geared towards a whole-person framework for health and wellness, where a one-stop shop is not only convenient, but it allows people to get the care they need to heal body and mind.
Clinicians are available for screenings and assessments and can discuss initial recommendations based on your individual needs. To obtain behavioral health services you must be a patient of the health center, or a resident of the North End, Waterfront or Charlestown communities.
How We Provide Care
NEW Health practices from a person-centered approach, acknowledging there is no “one-size-fits-all” model of treatment. Through celebrating diversity and uniqueness, we personalize an approach to what each person needs. We are committed to our mission of providing culturally sensitive and affordable mental and behavioral health services in a confidential, professional, and supportive environment, accessible to all.
Our team of behavioral health clinicians (LCSW’s, LICSW’s, LMHC’s and Psychologists), psychiatric providers (MD’s and PMHNP’s), and community health workers will work with you to develop an individualized plan of treatment. In order to help you meet your goals, NEW Health will utilize various tools and treatment modalities. By offering support to locate and connect to resources, our team reduces the negative health effects of poverty, marginalization, and lack of access to healthcare.
