About Us
Our Story
We first connected in 2017 while working at a live-in treatment home for older adolescents. During that time, we were both dedicated to supporting young people facing mental health challenges and helping them transition back to their homes or into the community. It quickly became clear that we shared a deep commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of these youth and their families.
As we worked together, we realized our shared values and passions went beyond our immediate roles. We both dreamed of becoming therapists, eager to provide more specialized care to individuals, families, and groups who needed support.
By 2022, we knew it was time to take the next step toward that dream. We each returned to school to further our education, completing our respective Masters degrees, all while continuing to support each other’s growth and maintaining the strong friendship we had built.
As we moved forward, our partnership naturally evolved. We combined our shared values, experiences, and passion for helping others to create our own private practice—New Horizons Psychotherapy & Counselling Services. Today, we’re so excited to bring the same dedication and heartfelt care that guided us in those early years to our work, supporting our clients in creating brighter futures and achieving their personal goals.

Values shape our actions by guiding how we show up and move through the world. They help us stay true to our principles, making our work more meaningful and focused. When our values align with what we do, it ensures that our efforts are consistent and purposeful, leading to better therapeutic relationships and a more authentic approach to supporting our clients.
Our Values
Authenticity
Authenticity means showing up honestly and openly in our actions and interactions, which fosters trust and genuine connections. By embracing authenticity, we ensure that our work and therapeutic relationships are grounded in sincerity, creating a more meaningful and impactful experience.
Compassion
Compassion means approaching others and ourselves with empathy and understanding. It’s about recognizing and responding to their needs with kindness. By valuing compassion, we create a nurturing environment where people feel heard, respected, and cared for.
Curiosity
Curiosity drives us to explore, learn, and grow. It means approaching every situation with an open mind, it encourages us to ask questions, seek out new knowledge, and challenge our assumptions. By valuing curiosity we create a space where clients feel encouraged to delve deeper into their thoughts and emotions, leading to greater self-awareness and insight. This open-minded exploration helps uncover new pathways for growth and healing
Equity
Equity is a fundamental value that ensures every client receives respectful and effective support. Embracing this value means providing equal access to services, honouring diverse perspectives, providing a inclusive and accessible space, and adapting our approaches to meet individual needs. By prioritizing equity, we create a therapeutic environment where all clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to achieve their goals
