For over 50 years, New Horizons Mental Health has been providing services to the residents of Fairfield County. From its humble beginnings with a few staff members focusing on children's services, it has grown to include several locations and multiple programs tailored to the needs of the community, including all age groups. Utilizing a personalized approach to treatment planning, New Horizons Mental Health staff work with clients to design a program of services suited to their individual circumstances. We offer individual and group psychotherapy, psychiatric consultation and medication management, substance abuse evaluation and treatment, family and community support services, as well as 24/7 mobile crisis assessment.

Within each of these service areas, there are even more highly specialized programs—often developed in response to community needs and in partnership with our stakeholders. For example, thanks to assistance from the ADAMH Board, United Way of Fairfield County, the Ryan Reeb Foundation, and support from all local school systems, we provide suicide screening, prevention, and follow-up services to all middle and high school students in Fairfield County.

Please browse our website to learn more about the services we offer. If you are interested in joining our team of compassionate and innovative staff, please review our job openings. You can also explore ways to support our mission through charity and volunteer efforts. Our contact page provides information on reaching key staff who can assist with scheduling, programming, billing, and office directions.

Finally, on behalf of our Board of Directors, Management Team, clinicians, and administrative staff, I want to thank you for your interest in our agency and for giving us the opportunity to be of service. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or ideas for programming that could benefit our community as we work together to provide the best services possible.

Phil Pack, M.S.
