Who we are
A neighborhood agency, licensed to do serious work.
New Living Health Care Services is a Core Service Agency licensed and certified by the District of Columbia and accredited by the Council on Accreditation to provide behavioral health and supportive services.
We work to support our clients’ success in the community and to reduce the risk of hospitalization through medication management, therapy, and other supportive services. Most of what we do happens where people actually live — at home, at work, in the neighborhood — not only in an office.
What we offer
Four core services, certified by the Department of Behavioral Health.
Medicaid or private insurance may cover these services for eligible District residents.
Medication & Somatic Treatment
Prescribing, monitoring, and medical review by qualified clinical staff, including lab work related to your medication.
Counseling
Individual, group, and family sessions focused on managing symptoms and rebuilding daily living skills.
Community Support Services
Practical help in the community — housing, benefits, appointments, daily routines — from a worker who knows you.
How it starts
Three steps, and none of them are complicated.
You can refer yourself. A family member, a hospital, a shelter, a case manager, or a court can also refer you. You do not need a diagnosis in hand before you call.
You call, or someone calls for you
We take some basic details, check your insurance or Medicaid eligibility, and book your first appointment. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
We complete a diagnostic assessment
A clinician sits with you and builds a full picture — physical, family, social, psychiatric. This determines which services you qualify for and will benefit from.
Your services begin, and your team stays with you
You are matched with the right combination of medication management, counseling, and community support — and with the people who will deliver it.
