New Frontiers BH was created to better serve your behavioral health and mental wellness. We believe that outstanding potential is within you and that society, culture, family, and your own internal conflicts can interfere and prevent you from moving forward in your life. We use evidence-based interventions to assist you in uncovering how your experiences can also inform your healing. With over 25 years of experience and psychodynamic wisdom, we will give you tools and outstanding support to meet your therapeutic goals. Book us today at our website.
Michelle is our founder. With a background in health and fitness, public health, organizational development, Integrating Primary and Behavioral Healthcare, and multiculturalism, she will help you to find the tools and strategies to meet your pressing concerns and achieve goals of feeling better and living with vitality.
We constantly strives to make every client feel welcomed, accepted and included. Many of our clients will stay with us through the years and are invited to annually get a "Behavioral Health Checkup" like your Annual Medical Physical. Get started and supported today!

Insurance is very helpful and we take certain insurances. However, some of our clients do not want insurance charged or we do not take their insurance. We will work with you, to meet your needs. Finance can be a barrier and we try to make accomodations for each patient that is a win-win.
