Testimonials

The choices we make, dictate the lives we live...

Brandon went through an extremely difficult time. It seemed all other service providers had given up or were not willing to even try.  NWP never gave up and in the process, they helped Brandon get to the best point mentally, emotionally, physically, and legally that I have ever seen him. -teacher



The therapists here were the first ones to ever talk to me like I was what mattered.  They helped me understand what was happening to me and I started to feel like I could do something about it. -former NWP client



Our family was nearly destroyed when our son began to suffer from serious depression.  While he once had been a fun-loving kid with goals and dreams; we watched, helpless, as he became a shell of himself.  Unable, or unwilling, to be a part of his own life, his grades suffered, his behavior changed, and our relationship fell apart.  Then he went to Northwest Passage.  Through careful treatment and consistent expectations, they helped my son get a handle on his depression.  He learned about himself and they helped him remember what I'd known all along - he was worth fighting for. -letter from a parent



We'd been to doctor after doctor.  No one seemed to be able to tell us how to help our daughter.  When we found Northwest Passage, we had little hope left.  But, then the doctors listened to us and to her.  The treatment team worked together to figure out the puzzle our daughter's life had become.  When they finished their assessment, they sat down with us until it all made sense.  They talked to us like people, not just like professionals.  And they helped us where no one else did before.  Now, we know what our daughter needs and we can finally help her to get it.  The careful assessment that Northwest did gave us a miracle...and gave us back all the hope we had lost. -letter from a parent
