Compassion-Focused Therapy For Chronic Illness and Pain
ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?
Welcome to the National Center for Health Psychology
We are delighted to have you here at NCHP! We prioritize person-centered, evidence-based approaches that are customized to meet your individual needs.
With life often filled with pain and suffering, finding our place in the universe and making use of our time, in a meaningful way, often leaves people scared and confused. Through purposeful perspective on the ‘here and now,’ we can learn to face the challenges that life throws at us with acceptance, curiosity, and strength.
