There is no one-size-fits-all solution to mental health treatment for men. The best way to find health and healing is to speak directly with a qualified counselor about the specific challenges you face.

Young adults today face many unique challenges. For some, the transition to independent life is relatively seamless. For others, there are unexpected bumps in the road. Either way, it’s not uncommon for people in this trying situation to need a little guidance.

Everyone feels sad, lonely, and tired from time to time. But when these experiences become burdens that affect everyday life, it’s time to ask for help.

Many women today don’t feel seen, heard, or appreciated. Couple those normal experiences with a mental health disorder and it may feel as though there isn’t hope for a better future. At NPS, we believe hope is just a few steps away. Trust our counselors to get you started on a better path.
Getting your child the educational resources and support they need should be simple, but it rarely feels that way. At NPS, we partner with local educators to give our clients accurate and helpful information as they navigate the educational system. Whether you need help with parent/teacher conferences, IEP and 504 planning, ACT/SAT prep, or something else, we are here for you.
Did you know that trauma is defined as an injury, not an illness? That’s because traumatic events are proven to cause actual damage to a person’s brain. With that in mind, we approach trauma treatment in ways that address the entire picture. Come to our center for comprehensive mental, emotional, and physical healing.
For people of faith, it doesn’t make sense to approach mental and emotional healing without consideration of the spiritual nature of life on earth. If you would like our counselors to apply a spiritual lens to your sessions, all you have to do is ask. At NPS, Christian counseling is never forceful, evangelistic, or heavy-handed. Instead, it’s safe, non-judgmental, and marked by grace.
We strongly believe in helping members of our community establish healthy and happy lives. This means we have an obligation to do more than simply treat disorders, we must meet individuals and families in their need and at their comfort level.
With that in mind, we provide alternative, natural methods of treatment whenever possible. Although medication is sometimes necessary and appropriate, you can trust us to make every effort to find a natural solution.
Many people don’t seek treatment for anxiety because they believe it to be a common human experience. Although stress and worry are par for the course, these issues become concerning when they affect your ability to accomplish everyday tasks.
If you struggle to overcome anxious thoughts and feelings on your own, give our team a call. We can help you reduce anxiety, overcome compulsive behaviors, and soothe unexplained frustrations.
