About us
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower clients to understand and address the barriers preventing them from living happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. We believe everyone has the ability to grow, gain insight, and thrive.
With more than six decades of combined clinical experience, we understand that challenges rarely exist in isolation. Difficulties with attention, learning, sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive functioning, behavior, and mental health often overlap and influence one another. That’s why our team collaborates across disciplines, providing thoughtful recommendations and coordinated support tailored to the unique needs of each client.
As a private-pay practice, our recommendations are driven by what will be most beneficial for you, not by insurance limitations or pre-approved treatment models. This allows us to provide comprehensive evaluations, individualized treatment plans, and practical strategies designed to help you make meaningful progress toward your goals.
Our Clinical Expertise
New Horizons Wellness Services provides specialized occupational therapy, counseling, social skills training, and psychological evaluation services for children, adolescents, and adults throughout Oregon. Our clinicians have extensive experience supporting individuals with a wide range of developmental, learning, mental health, and functional challenges.
We frequently work with clients seeking support related to:
ADHD and Executive Functioning
Difficulties with attention, organization, planning, task initiation, time management, working memory, emotional regulation, and daily life skills.
Autism and Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
Support for autistic children, teens, and adults focused on self-understanding, sensory processing, social participation, executive functioning, daily living skills, and quality of life.
Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation
Helping individuals better understand and manage sensory sensitivities, sensory seeking behaviors, emotional regulation challenges, overwhelm, and participation in everyday activities.
Handwriting, Fine Motor Skills, and School Success
Occupational therapy services addressing handwriting difficulties, fine motor development, visual-motor integration, classroom participation, and school-related independence.
Anxiety, Depression, and Daily Functioning
Supporting individuals whose mental health symptoms impact routines, self-care, work, school performance, social participation, and overall well-being.
Psychological Assessment and Diagnostic Clarification
Comprehensive evaluations for ADHD, autism (up to age 18), learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, executive functioning concerns, and other developmental or mental health conditions.
Our interdisciplinary approach allows us to consider the whole person rather than focusing on a single diagnosis or symptom. By understanding how cognitive, emotional, sensory, behavioral, educational, and environmental factors interact, we develop practical recommendations that help clients achieve meaningful improvements in their daily lives.
Our clinic is an excellent fit for:
● Children, teens, and adults seeking specialized, evidence-based care
● Individuals and families who are ready to make changes and actively participate in the therapeutic process
● Clients looking for personalized recommendations tailored to their unique strengths, challenges, and goals
● Those seeking comprehensive evaluations that provide clear answers and actionable next steps
● Individuals who value prompt access to care without lengthy waitlists
● Referring providers seeking collaborative, client-centered support for their patients
Many clients initially contact us because they want answers, specialized expertise, or support without months of waiting. They continue working with us because they experience meaningful progress, gain practical tools they can use in everyday life, and appreciate care that is personalized, responsive, and focused on helping them achieve lasting change.
Our Story
New Horizons Wellness Services began as the successful private psychology practice of Dr. Patrick Ethel-King, PhD. Over the years, the practice grew as more families sought comprehensive support for their children and loved ones.
In 2012, the clinic expanded its services by developing a social skills program designed to help children and adolescents strengthen peer relationships and social communication. Following a move to a larger office in 2013, New Horizons Wellness Services further expanded to include Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy services, allowing families to access a broader range of support in one location.
Today, New Horizons Wellness Services continues to serve children, adolescents, and adults through a collaborative approach focused on helping clients reach their fullest potential.
Our clinic is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise through the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). New Horizons Wellness Services promotes Purpose, Diversity, Innovation, and Acceptance as our core values. We are committed to the community where we work and live.
Our Facility
Our clinic was intentionally designed to support the way we provide care. Every therapy space is structured to promote engagement, learning, self-discovery, and skill development while creating a welcoming environment where children, teens, and adults can feel comfortable and supported.
At New Horizons Wellness Services, we recognize that every person is unique. That’s why our approach extends beyond addressing individual symptoms. We take a comprehensive view of each client, considering the many factors that influence daily functioning and overall well-being, including emotional health, cognitive functioning, sensory processing, social relationships, family dynamics, educational and work environments, and physical health.
Our dedicated therapy spaces allow us to provide individualized, evidence-based services that are tailored to each client’s needs. Whether through occupational therapy, mental health counseling, social skills groups, psychological evaluations, or interdisciplinary collaboration, we focus on helping clients build practical skills, increase confidence, and create meaningful change in their everyday lives.
For clients who are unable to visit our clinic in person, many of our services are also available through secure telehealth appointments across the state of Oregon. This allows individuals and families to access specialized care, expert guidance, and personalized support from the comfort of their own home, regardless of where they live.
The environment you see throughout our clinic reflects our philosophy: effective care happens when expert guidance, personalized treatment, and the right setting come together to support growth and success—whether that care takes place in our clinic or through telehealth.
