Testimonials
"New Beginnings Residential Treatment Facilities exemplifies exceptional team leadership, fostering collaboration that inspires growth and healing for the youth we serve."
Dr. James Beard
I joined New Beginnings as an intern in 2014, quickly connecting with the youth and staff. In 2017, I returned as a therapist, became Head of Service, and helped transition to a Short-term Residential Treatment Program (STRTP). New Beginnings nurtured my leadership, and I remain committed to their mission of supporting underserved children.
