Northwood Church

“In 2004, we (Andy & Melody Yarborough) began talking about the possibility of starting a practice that focused on treating the whole person. “Whole person” for us means focusing on and integrating a person’s physical health, soul health, relationships, and spiritual/existential growth in the treatment process. In addition, we wanted to help people discern how to live when the problem went away. Melody and I knew that appropriate training was necessary, so Mel earned a Master’s degree in nursing and I completed a doctoral degree in psychology full time for a bit to work in the church world. Each experience was beneficial. With each new experience, we became better at integrating different aspects of treatment and growth-oriented approaches to help people towards hope, wellness, and more meaningful lives.” - Andy Yarborough, PsyD.
