Our Story
A mission born from compassion
In the wake of the pandemic, our community, along with the world at large, experienced a troubling rise in mental health challenges. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide surged, and the mental health system struggled to keep up with the overwhelming demand. As a result, many individuals found themselves unable to access the critical care they needed.
Recognizing this urgent need, the leadership and members of Noroton Presbyterian Church (NPC) identified an underserved mission field right in our own community. Feeling compelled to respond, God inspired a group of generous donors and a diverse, talented team from NPC to turn this vision into reality. From this shared passion, the NPTC was born—a resource dedicated to providing accessible mental health care for those in Darien and surrounding areas.
Our Approach
A personalized approach to healing
NPTC is committed to serving individuals at any stage of their faith journey, from those who may not believe to those with a strong faith foundation. Our therapists offer a flexible approach to treatment, working with clients to provide care that aligns with their preferences—whether that be from a secular perspective or one that incorporates faith-based principles. We welcome everyone, regardless of religious background or belief.
We offer a wide range of services for individuals across the lifespan, from adolescence through adulthood. Our team provides individual therapy for those struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, life transitions, and more. We also offer couples and family therapy to assist with communication, conflict resolution, and relationship strengthening.

Cost/Insurance
We’re here to help—financially and emotionally
As an out-of-network provider, NPTC does not accept private insurance. However, we provide invoices for out-of-network reimbursement. Scholarships are available to those who need financial assistance. We do not want finances to be a barrier to you or your loved ones getting the help needed. Please contact Dr. Jeff White and we can seek a payment arrangement that works for your budget.
