New Vision was exactly what my husband and I needed. We worked with Debbie and she was able to give us new tools, new perspectives, and new ideas on how to communicate more effectively with eachother. My husband was leary of counseling at first but after just one session he liked how Debbie was very observant, and was able to understand both of us and our needs. Thank you New Vision!

What you shared means more than you might realize. A husband who walks in skeptical and leaves ready to come back — that's not small. That's Debbie doing what she does best: making both people feel seen so quickly that walls come down before the session is even over.

That moment you described — your husband noticing how observant she was, how she understood both of you — that's exactly what we work to create at New Vision Counseling and Consulting. Because real change doesn't start with better communication techniques. It starts when two people finally feel safe enough to be honest with each other. Debbie created that for you, and we're so glad she did.

If you're reading this and your relationship has some version of the same story — one of you ready, one of you unsure — that's okay. Most couples start there. What matters is taking the first step, because the right therapist in the right environment changes everything. We serve Oklahoma City and Edmond, and our team is here to match you with someone who fits where you are right now.

One session can shift the whole direction. Call us at (405) 921-7776 or visit NewVisionCounseling.org. We'd love to help you build something better together.

Highly recommend New Vision Counseling! Joshua Rhoades was awesome. He listened and provided solid feedback. Though we went for couples therapy, he also did individual sessions which were instrumental to improving our relationship as it unearthed the root of significant issues. We especially appreciated having light homework as it kept us engaged in the days between sessions and allowed us to have physical documents to show the commitments we made.

Casey, what you and your partner did took real courage — sitting across from someone, being honest about what isn't working, and doing the hard work to get to the root of it. That's not easy. And the fact that you stayed engaged between sessions, did the homework, and came back committed every time says a lot about who you are.

Joshua is exactly the kind of therapist we built New Vision Counseling and Consulting around — someone who listens deeply, gives real feedback, and helps couples find what's actually driving the disconnect. That's where real change begins. Relationships don't just improve when people communicate better on the surface. They transform when people finally understand what's happening underneath. You experienced that firsthand.

If you're reading this and your relationship feels stuck, distant, or like you've had the same fight a hundred times — there is a way through. At New Vision Counseling and Consulting, we match you with a therapist who fits your specific situation and helps you build something better than what you had before. Call us at (405) 921-7776 or visit NewVisionCounseling.org. You don't have to keep hoping things will get better on their own. Real change is possible — and it can start this week.

This has been the absolute best therapy I have ever experienced. Josh has been along with me throughout my ups and downs. I’ve been through therapy my entire life and have been abandoned from other therapist. He has never abandoned me and has always been there for me when I needed him. He has helped me understand life with a clearer picture so I can make better decisions. Helping me understand how to control myself without jeopardizing my character. Remembering to keep a positive mindset through these dark times. I truly appreciate the help and guidance he has given me. He is absolutely encouraging and always wanting to push me to do better. I appreciate his support. Thank you.
Response from the owner1 month ago
Earl, thank you for trusting us with something this personal. What you described — going through therapy your entire life, feeling abandoned by others, and finally finding someone who stayed — that is not a small thing. That is a turning point. The fact that Josh has been with you through the valleys and not just the mountaintops, helping you see more clearly and make better decisions without losing who you are in the process, is exactly the kind of counseling relationship that changes the trajectory of a person's life. You showed up and kept fighting, and that matters enormously.

Josh embodies what we believe every counselor on our team should be — present, consistent, and genuinely invested in the person sitting across from them. At New Vision Counseling and Consulting, we work hard to make sure every client finds that kind of connection from day one. Whether someone is seeking individual counseling, trauma therapy, anxiety counseling, or depression counseling in the OKC or Edmond area, the right therapeutic relationship is not optional — it is everything. What you found with Josh is the standard we hold ourselves to across the entire practice.

If you are reading this and you have been hurt by the counseling process before, or you have tried to get help and walked away feeling more alone than when you started, we want you to know that it does not have to end that way. New Vision Counseling and Consulting exists to be the place where people finally find the support, clarity, and forward movement they have been searching for. You deserve a counselor who shows up for you. Call us at (405) 921-7776 or visit NewVisionCounseling.org. Let us help you find that person.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

New Beginnings Counseling Services works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Josh was a wise counselor. Helpful, gracious, and practical. I appreciated his insight and his encouragement. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner
Cathi, thank you for taking the time to share this. Wise, helpful, gracious, and practical — that is a powerful combination, and it is exactly who Josh is. Counseling that is both insightful and grounded in real, practical steps is harder to find than it should be, and we are grateful Josh was able to provide that for you. The encouragement you felt was not accidental — it is how he approaches every person who walks through the door.

Josh's approach reflects what we strive to build across every counselor at New Vision Counseling and Consulting. From the first call to the final session, our team works to connect each client with someone who truly fits their needs and can meet them with both skill and care. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or simply a season of life that feels heavier than expected, finding the right therapist in OKC or Edmond makes all the difference. We take that match seriously every single time.

If you are someone who has been quietly wondering whether counseling could actually help, Cathi's words are worth sitting with. Sometimes the clearest sign that it is time to reach out is the one you find in someone else's story. New Vision Counseling and Consulting is here to help you take that next step with confidence. Call us at (405) 921-7776 or visit NewVisionCounseling.org. The right counselor is closer than you think.
