Our core values and commitments

The therapists, consultants and teachers of NGBH believe in the transformative power of THERAPY.

We also believe that SHARED LEARNING EXPERIENCES can transform the workplace, in person or virtual! 

This means:

We believe it is BRAVE to honor the full, real truth of our HISTORY. Not just our personal histories, but our shared histories as families, as communities, as a country.

We believe it is only in being HONEST, stating it for the record, and examining how you are STUCK in your story, that you can REWRITE your future.

We believe it is COURAGEOUS to share your story with a reliable narrator, a therapist committed to creating a safe relationship.

We honor that this is never easy. Hearing things from a trusted outsider about yourself, that are not things you already believe about yourself, can sometimes be UNCOMFORTABLE AF.

We believe the LABOR of rewriting the story you are telling yourself is not a STEP YOU CAN SKIP and still live a full, vibrant, robust life. We believe this chapter of labor is TEMPORARY.

We accept that not everyone WILL do this, but are ruthless optimists anyone CAN.

We are committed to walking our talk, putting our money where are mouths are, and partnering with like minded businesses. We would never ask you to do what we have not already done ourselves.
