Who We Are

OUR FOUNDATIONAL M.V.P

Foundational to a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and culturally diverse clinical practice is a clear mission, a guiding vision, and a purpose rooted in safety, trust, and connection. These principles inform every aspect of care at A New Beginning Counseling.

Our Mission

To provide compassionate, effective mental health care that recognizes the pervasive impact of trauma and promotes holistic healing. We create therapeutic environments and clinical strategies that prevent re-traumatization, honor individual and cultural contexts, and support recovery for diverse individuals and communities.

Our Vision

A world in which individuals, families, and communities thrive—supported by systems of care that understand, prevent, and heal trauma, and that foster empowerment, resilience, connection, and cultural respect.

Our Purpose

To integrate trauma awareness and attachment-based principles into every aspect of clinical practice, reducing stigma and strengthening resilience by honoring strengths, ensuring safety, and promoting genuine choice, collaboration, and connection.

PILLARS OF OUR PRACTICE

Trauma-Informed Care
Guided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), our trauma-informed framework is built upon six core principles:
 
  • Safety – Prioritizing physical and emotional safety
  • Trustworthiness & Transparency – Fostering honest, consistent relationships
  • Peer Support – Valuing shared experiences as a source of healing
  • Collaboration & Mutuality – Sharing power and decision-making
  • Empowerment, Voice & Choice – Honoring strengths and autonomy
  • Cultural, Historical & Gender Awareness – Actively addressing bias and respecting diversity
Attachment-Based Principles
Attachment theory informs our understanding of emotional regulation, relational patterns, and healing. Our work emphasizes:
 
  • Secure Base – Providing consistent, reliable therapeutic support
  • Emotional Regulation – Supporting awareness and management of emotions
  • Exploration & Mastery – Encouraging growth from a place of safety
  • Connection & Relationship – Valuing trust, attunement, and meaningful bonds
Culturally Diverse Practice
Healing is inseparable from cultural context. Our practice is grounded in:
 
  • Cultural Humility – Ongoing self-reflection and learning from clients
  • Cultural Responsiveness – Tailoring care to each client’s cultural reality
  • Historical Trauma Awareness – Recognizing collective and intergenerational impacts
  • Inclusion – Actively valuing diverse identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences
A DIFFERENT KIND OF THERAPEUTIC EXPERIENCE

Together, these pillars form a comprehensive, strength-based framework that supports deep healing and sustainable growth in complex human experiences. Therapy at A New Beginning Counseling is not about quick fixes or surface-level change—it is about restoration, connection, and creating space for individuals to move forward with clarity, confidence, and support.

This is not a place where clients are reduced to diagnoses.
This is a place where healing is approached with intention, integrity, and care.
