About Us
When we are looking at the view of a mountain in front of us, we see the steep climb.
We see the initial path through the underbrush. The mountain looks completely unmanageable. However, if we take just one step to the left or to the right, the entire view changes. That small deviation is so important. It gives us a new perspective. It gives us a New View.
All of a sudden, the path is different. Counseling is finding the courage to take that one step to the side and see a new view. At a New View Counseling, we believe that everyone deserves the care needed to see a new perspective. Our therapist are trained and experienced to help you completely transform your life.
Our Purpose
Guided by compassion, personalized care, and a commitment to helping every individual, couple,
and family find hope, healing, and lasting growth.

Every Person Deserves a New Perspective

Every individual has a unique story, and we are committed to meeting people where they are with compassion, respect, and personalized care. Through trusted relationships and evidence-based treatment, we help individuals, couples, and families discover new perspectives that lead to healing, resilience, and lasting growth.

Our Story
From One Office to Thousands of Lives Changed
Founded in 2014 by Kathrine Parnell, A New View Counseling began with a simple goal: to create a compassionate place where individuals and families could find support, healing, and hope. Inspired by her professional experience and personal journey as the mother of children with Autism, Kathrine recognized the need for accessible outpatient mental health services and set out to make a difference.
What started in a small office in Draper, Utah has grown into one of Utah’s trusted counseling practices, serving thousands of clients while remaining committed to personalized, compassionate care.

Our Journey
Explore the milestones that have shaped A New View Counseling from its founding in 2014 to becoming one of Utah’s trusted mental health practices.
Continuing to Grow
What began as a one-person practice has grown into a team of 44 dedicated professionals serving more than 4,000 clients across four Utah locations. Today, A New View Counseling proudly supports individuals from 2 to 94 years of age, continuing its mission of providing approachable, accessible, and compassionate mental health care throughout the communities it serves.
A Permanent Home
A New View Counseling purchased its headquarters in Riverton, Utah, establishing a permanent home for the practice and creating a strong foundation for future growth.
Honored by the Community
Kathrine was recognized as Business Woman of the Year by the City of Riverton and the South Valley Chamber, celebrating her leadership, dedication, and commitment to serving both clients and employees.
Building a Team
The addition of the first employee marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter. As demand continued to increase, therapists joined the practice, allowing A New View Counseling to help more people while maintaining personalized, compassionate care.
Expanding Services
Recognizing an important need in the community, A New View introduced Social Skills Groups for children and teens. Kathrine and her husband, Brian, traveled to Brisbane, Australia, to receive specialized training, bringing proven programs and new opportunities for families in Utah.
Growing Alongside the Community
As more individuals and families sought support, the practice moved into larger office spaces and continued to grow. During this period, Kathrine remained the sole provider while building the foundation for the future of the practice.
A Leap of Faith
Within six months, demand for services had grown enough for Kathrine to leave her full-time role as a medical social worker and dedicate herself to A New View Counseling full time. What began in a small office in Draper quickly started to expand.
A Vision Takes Shape
Kathrine Parnell founded A New View Counseling and Psychological Services to create a welcoming place where individuals and families, especially those navigating Autism, could receive compassionate, personalized mental health care. Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal experience as a mother of children with Autism, she set out to make a meaningful difference.
Growing with Purpose Since
From one small office to a trusted team serving thousands of clients, every milestone reflects our commitment to compassionate, accessible mental health care and the communities we proudly serve.
Become a Partner
Join us!
At a New View Counseling, we are committed to providing approachable and accessible mental health care. We realize that in many communities, services can be lacking. There has been a trend of practices closing or transitioning under ownership of large corporations. We believe there is something special about a local practice and the relationships which are formed there.
Through acquisition, we partner with small group practices to provide oversight and strengthen the infrastructure so these communities can continue to be served with high quality mental health services. If you are interested in learning more about partnership opportunities with A New View Counseling, please contact us at 801-209-9797.
