About

Hope. Perspective. Healing... Together.

You are not alone. New Horizons is a place that is home to a growing number of mental health counselors who are all specialized in treating trauma amongst other mental health struggles. This is a place where authentic healing, connection, and renewed vision can take form, leading you toward horizons you may have never thought possible. Come... as you are. A WORD ABOUT THE FOUNDER/OWNER: Julie Schalk is a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of New Horizons Trauma and Healing Counseling. She is deeply committed to creating spaces where both clients and clinicians feel seen, heard, supported, and treated with care. Her work is guided by the belief that healing happens best in environments rooted in safety, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s story. She provides counseling to individuals ages eight and older and is especially passionate about helping people untangle and heal from the effects of past trauma, as well as navigate a wide range of mental health challenges. She understands that healing is not linear and approaches the therapeutic process with intention, patience, and compassion—honoring both the resilience and vulnerability each person brings. Through New Horizons, she is dedicated not only to client care, but also to fostering a practice culture that values wellness, integrity, and relational connection. Her hope is that those who work with her experience renewed perspective, furthered hope, and a deepened capacity to live, relate, and care well—carrying that forward into their clients, relationships, and communities.
