Client testimonials

"I originally found this place online while researching DBT I quickly received a response from Sarah Kern, who has been my counselor for the past four weeks or so. She genuinely has made an impact on my life and has helped me so much when it comes to regulating my emotions, and she has always been helpful down to listening when I needed it the most being judge free and providing me with helpful material to help with my emotions. I’ve tried many therapist, but I haven’t found one like Sarah Kern. New start mental health has definitely changed my life for the good thank you!!"
