Welcome to Our Behavioral Health Department at Native Healthcare Center
At NHC, we honor the deep connection between mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Mental health is not separate from the wellness of our families, communities, and traditions—it is woven into the teachings and resilience of our ancestors.
Life’s journey can bring unexpected challenges, but you are not alone. Our Behavioral Health Department provides culturally grounded support that respects the unique traditions, histories, and healing practices of Native American and Indigenous peoples.
Our Approach to Healing
Healing is more than just therapy—it is about restoring balance. Our team of licensed therapists, many with Indigenous backgrounds and training in Native healing traditions, offer a compassionate space where you can share your story in a way that feels right for you.

Our Services
Culturally Responsive Counseling
We recognize that mental health care must honor Indigenous and Native American identities, values, and ways of healing. Our therapists integrate traditional knowledge, storytelling, and cultural practices alongside evidence-based therapy to provide care that reflects the diversity of our people.
Healing for Indigenous Individuals and Families
Well-being is deeply connected to our families and communities. Whether you seek personal healing or support for your loved ones, we offer counseling that strengthens families, restores harmony, and nurtures Indigenous identity.
Support for Native and Indigenous Youth
Our children and teens face unique challenges in today’s world. We provide therapy tailored to Indigenous youth, incorporating cultural teachings, traditional stories, and activities that help them navigate life’s challenges while staying connected to their roots.
Holistic Pain and Wellness Support
Living with chronic pain affects not only the body but also the spirit. We offer counseling that blends Western approaches with Indigenous healing perspectives, focusing on restoring balance and resilience in mind, body, and spirit.
Guidance for Stress and Life Challenges
Stress is a part of life, but Indigenous traditions teach us ways to manage and overcome it. Our therapists help individuals reconnect with cultural strengths and provide tools for navigating stress in a way that aligns with Indigenous teachings.
Traditional Healing & Wellness Practices
Healing happens in many forms. We provide relaxation techniques inspired by Indigenous and Native traditions, helping individuals find peace through breathwork, grounding exercises, and culturally rooted mindfulness practices.
Healing from Trauma
Many Indigenous people carry the weight of historical, intergenerational, and personal trauma. Our trauma-informed approach acknowledges these experiences while creating a safe space to heal through culturally respectful therapy and community connection.
Crisis Support When You Need It
We understand that emergencies and crises don’t wait. Our team is here to provide immediate support, guiding individuals through difficult moments with cultural understanding and connection to resources.
Community Healing Circles & Indigenous Support Groups
Healing is stronger when shared. We offer group therapy and peer support circles that allow individuals to connect with others who have similar experiences. These spaces honor traditional talking circles and Indigenous ways of healing.
Our support groups include:
- Talking Circles for Indigenous Healing
- Alcoholics Anonymous (Indigenous-led meetings)
- Elder’s Wisdom Circle
- Indigenous Women’s Healing Group
At Native Healthcare Center, we are committed to walking alongside you on your healing journey, guided by the strength of our ancestors and the wisdom of our Indigenous people.
