  • No. At New Day Resource, emotional wellness coaching is nonclinical. I help individuals and couples understand patterns in their lives and relationships and take practical steps toward change. We might talk through a loss or life transition, look at how experiences in your family growing up shape your relationships today, or consider what it would take to rebuild trust after betrayal.

    If you’re looking for a mental health diagnosis or treatment, a licensed mental health provider is the right place to start. If you’re unsure what kind of support would fit, we can talk it through in a free 15-minute phone consultation.


  • New Day Resource offers pastoral counseling and emotional wellness coaching that is reflective, educational, and supportive in nature. While this work can be meaningful and helpful for many people, it is not appropriate for every situation.


    This work may not be a good fit if you are currently experiencing any of the following:


    Active Crisis or Immediate Safety Concerns

    • Ongoing thoughts of harming yourself or others

    • Recent suicide attempts or active self-harm

    • Situations where you are in immediate danger or unsafe

    In these circumstances, immediate support from emergency services or licensed mental health professionals is essential.





    Conditions Requiring Clinical or Medical Treatment

    • Severe or unmanaged mental health symptoms

    • Active psychosis, mania, or significant dissociation

    • Mental health conditions that require diagnosis, medication management, or structured treatment

    New Day Resource does not diagnose or treat mental health disorders and does not provide clinical or medical care.





    Substance Use Requiring Specialized Treatment

    • Active substance use that significantly impairs daily functioning

    • Situations where detoxification, inpatient, or intensive outpatient treatment is indicated

    Licensed addiction treatment services are better equipped to provide appropriate care in these cases.





    Crisis-Focused or Risk-Management Services

    • Ongoing suicide risk monitoring or safety planning

    • Abuse investigations or forensic evaluation

    • Court-ordered counseling or treatment

    New Day Resource does not provide crisis intervention, risk assessment, or forensic services.





    Expectations of Therapy or Clinical Outcomes

    This work may not be a fit if you are seeking:

    • Formal mental health diagnosis

    • Treatment of psychiatric conditions

    • Insurance-based therapy services

    • Clinical documentation for legal or employment purposes





    A Note of Respect and Care

    If any of the above applies to you, it does not mean that support is unavailable or that you have failed in any way. It simply means that another form of care is more appropriate at this time.

    When possible, New Day Resource is glad to help you think through next steps and identify licensed or emergency resources that can better support your needs.

Emotional Wellness Coaching and Pastoral Counseling in Manitowoc

At New Day Resource, we offer nonclinical support for individuals and couples. You might come to us to talk through grief or a change you didn’t choose, understand how the family you grew up in still shapes your relationships, or begin rebuilding trust after betrayal. We’ll take time to understand what you’re facing and help you take steps toward the changes you want to see.


You’re welcome here, whether or not you’re religious. We’ll focus on what brought you in and leave it up to you whether faith or spirituality is part of the conversation.


For those who want to bring their Christian faith into the conversation, we offer pastoral counseling. Jesus’ words in John 8:32, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” express something we value in this work. There can be freedom in telling the truth about what we’ve lived through and seeing how it shapes the choices we make today. We’ll follow your lead on how faith is part of that conversation.


We also support people recovering from religious trauma and harm caused by clergy, churches, or other religious institutions. It can be hard to name what happened, especially when it came from people or communities you trusted. We can help you put words to what you experienced, understand how it still affects your life and relationships, and take steps toward trusting your own judgment again. Whether you want to stay connected to your faith, rethink it, or step away, we’ll respect your choices and move at your pace.
