Business Beat: New Day Counseling Launches in Mosby Square; Micron Rolls Out Apprenticeship Program


BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

 

New Day Counseling Launches in Mosby Square

It was an easy decision for Doug Warford to choose Manassas when striking out on his own to start New Day Counseling. He has lived and worked in the City on and off throughout his life, witnessing its growth over the years. For his new practice, Doug locked in a renovated, multi-office space at 9420-B Mosby Street mere steps from some of the City’s best shopping and dining.

Doug has ten years of experience in the clinical mental health field, alongside his wife who serves in the same industry. He has a person-centered approach in all of his therapy practices, helping the client develop personal goals and resilience for long-term healing.

On top of specialized services addressing depression, anger management, anxiety, and general mental health needs, New Day Counseling offers innovative techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), known to help with trauma, PTSD, and various cognitive and behavioral problems.

We asked Doug how the transition has been going from employee to company founder, and he said, “The most surprising aspect of business ownership has definitely been trying to figure out all the details and permits…I will say the City of Manassas business permit office was fantastic in the amount of help they gave us throughout the process.”

We have no doubt that New Day Counseling is primed and ready to assist the mounting needs of our residents and workforce. We’re grateful for Doug’s investment and encourage you to check out New Day Counseling at newdaycounselingva.com.
