About New Horizons Therapy

Virtual Psychotherapy in New York State

Since 2019, we've been working hard to make therapy accessible and approachable via telemedicine. At New Horizons, we use a team approach to provide our patients with the best care by drawing upon the shared experiences of our diverse and experienced staff. Our mission is to create a supportive and welcoming home for patients and professionals alike. It has been inspiring to see this vision grow into a large but close-knit family of professionals from all across New York and for that we are truly grateful!
