Northwest Counseling & Wellness Center

We are upgrading our practice.  Always a leader in holistic behavioral health care in Austin, NCWC has cut ties with insurance work which has long been a barrier to the contemplative, common sense, creative, and ‘inside – out’ holistic culture of change championed by our center.  Please bear with us as we transition away from the managed care model and update our website.  Stay tuned for the ways we can still help you navigate insurance coverage along with helping you establish mindful, drug and prescription free solutions to achieve mental well-being.

Visit 5NPTexas.com for information on Five-Needle Protocol auricular acupuncture for mental and behavioral health, ask about how you can be trained as mental / behavioral healthcare professional and how to experience this wonderful adjunct treatment to address addiction, trauma, and physical, emotional, and psychological stress.  Opportunities to drop in for ear acupuncture treatments occur weekly.  Contact us for information/questions.

Well-being starts here, now.

Experience common sense, natural, evidenced-based solutions for your journey into recovery.

The American healthcare system is tightly aligned with the medical model of treatment understanding humanity primarily through a biomedical lens. This deficit based model assumes the suffering person must be given what they lack by an outside expert – often in the form of a prescription medication. Our approaches trust that clients are not really so broken. We emphasize capability and well-being over illness and disease in our model of treatment. Our therapies help empower participants to access and utilize their own hidden resources and to grow into their full potential from the inside, out. Life is bigger than science; integrating ancient spiritual paths with contemporary neuroscience creates a powerful synergy to create a life of balance and well-being.
