School-Based Clinician / Therapist / Social Worker

Since 1971, A New Leaf has faithfully worked in service to our mission of “Helping Families…Changing Lives,” making a positive impact in the lives of more than 24,000 people each year in the Phoenix Metropolitan area.  Services focus on HEALTH, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, offering a continuum of support to move households from crisis to long-term health and stability. A New Leaf continues to grow to respond to needs in our community by developing comprehensive, relevant and effective services for vulnerable and underserved families, children, and adults.

Our Community Behavioral Health Clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health services to individuals of all ages. Recognizing the importance of accessibility and support within familiar environments, we have expanded our services to include school-based programs for students in the East Valley.

Our school-based services mirror the high-quality care offered in our clinic, ensuring that students receive the same level of support and therapeutic intervention within their own schools. By integrating our services into the school environment, we can provide more immediate and relevant support, addressing the unique challenges that students face in their day-to-day lives.
