Philosophy

The philosophy of The NESS Counseling Center Inc, is based on two fundamental beliefs utilizing an integrated treatment modality that provides both treatment and recovery. The first of our beliefs is the need to address the whole person, for all behaviors are linked to and reflective of what is going on internally. The second belief is that all individuals in addition to being provided with the necessary counseling services, also needs healthy modeling and support to better ensure success in establishing and maintaining long term recovery. It is the belief of Dennis Brown; program Executive Director that based on the more intensive scope of counseling, to implement this model we must primarily combine individualized treatment plans and thorough cognitive approaches. We pride ourselves on welcoming any and all individuals who believe that they can benefit from our services offered to join our program.
