Counseling can help individuals with ADHD, as well as their loved ones, better understand and live with the disorder. Our therapists can give you the skills, tools, and knowledge needed for a higher quality of life.

It is not uncommon for teenagers, young adults, and established adults to experience depression or anxiety along with their ADHD. Our team is ready to help you cope and heal, no matter the challenges you face.
Your health is our top concern–bar none. That’s why we do more than simply treat disorders at our center. Instead, we look at the whole picture to develop a treatment plan that results in a better quality of life.
Our preference is always to do this without the use of medication; although, we do recognize that it is necessary in some cases. But we always lean heavily on alternative natural treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychotherapy, mindful meditation, and acupuncture.
To learn more about how alternative natural treatments may work for you, give us a call. We can’t wait to tell you more about how our team works to bring healing to the core issues you face.
There is no denying that sufferers of mental health disorders face stigmas that can prevent them from seeking help. For members of the LGBTQ+ community, this problem is only compounded by the fear of prejudice and discrimination.

We work tirelessly to ensure that our center is a safe and nonjudgmental place for individuals of all sexualities, genders, identities, and expressions. If you are tired of trying to overcome your mental health disorder on your own, find support and care and NPS.
For many Christians, faith is not something that can be checked at the door. At NPS, we don’t ask you to leave your spirituality behind. Instead, we embrace and welcome the chance to incorporate the spiritual dimension into our counseling sessions, but only when a client asks us to do so.
Our Christian counseling sessions are never forceful, preachy, or judgmental. Instead, they open the door to the incorporation of biblical principles and spiritual discipline. Above all, our counselors will work to ensure that you are always seen, heard, and cared for at our center.

For some young adults, the path after high school seems straightforward and easy. For others, it can feel as though there are stumbling blocks at every turn. If you or a young loved one are struggling to find your footing, counseling can guide you through your unique challenges so you can come out on top.
Most of our young adult clients are still living with their parents full-time. These scenarios can often be challenging for both the adult child and the parent. Although these are tricky waters, we believe that we can help you find common ground, reopen the lines of communication, and find solutions to disagreements. Give us a call to learn more.
When you feel shackled to your pornography use and unable to break free, know that you aren’t alone. While figures vary amongst different sources, some reports indicate that as many as 9% of porn users have tried and failed to quit.
While sexuality is an important part of any healthy lifestyle, the use of pornography can sometimes have negative effects on a person’s mental health and relationships. If you want to put porn behind you, call NPS to speak with a counselor about your options.
Substance Use Disorder is classified as a brain disease that manifests as a compulsive urge to use a substance despite negative consequences. As such, we strongly recommend that sufferers attend an inpatient or outpatient treatment program before turning to counseling in their recovery efforts.
After the completion of a program, a member of our team can fit seamlessly into your sobriety plan. We provide effective follow-up support to teach you how to avoid and overcome triggers, manage stress, and separate yourself from harmful social networks.
The American Psychological Association defines trauma as an emotional response to an extremely negative event. But did you know that, in addition to physical trauma, it’s possible to experience psychological trauma as well? Examples of psychological trauma include parental neglect, emotional abuse, the death of a loved one, or even a divorce. No matter the source of your trauma, our counselors can help you regain control and find the path back to health and happiness.
