Which office is closest to Hempfield Township?
Hempfield Township surrounds the city of Greensburg, so for most township residents our Greensburg office is the natural choice. Because the city sits in the middle of the township, the office is central for most of Hempfield, whichever side of Greensburg you live on.
Our other offices are in Irwin, to the west along Route 30, and in downtown Ligonier, to the east past Latrobe. Those can make sense if you want a particular counselor or a setting away from your usual routine.
What is the Greensburg office like?
The Greensburg office is in a converted older house at 113 Alwine Avenue. You wait in a first-floor waiting area, and the counseling rooms are furnished with armchairs, sofas, bookshelves and lamps rather than clinic furniture. There is a gravel parking lot directly behind the building.
Some people find a home-like setting easier to settle into, especially for a first session. If this is your first time in counseling, it may help to know that the first sessions are mostly about getting to know you and what you want to work on. You can see photos of the rooms and the outside of the house on the Greensburg office page.
Who sees clients in Greensburg, and what do they help with?

Is faith required?
No. True North Vitality is a Christ-centered practice, and our founder is a Christian who has also worked with clients of many faiths and none. For clients who follow Jesus, prayer and Scripture can be part of counseling. Clients who are open, neutral or still exploring are welcome too.
Can Hempfield residents meet online?
Yes. Online sessions take place by secure video through SimplePractice for clients who are located in Pennsylvania at the time of each session. Video can be useful during winter weather, a sick day or a packed week. Many people combine online and in-person sessions in Greensburg. All three of our counselors offer online sessions.

Where can I get help in a crisis?
True North Vitality is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in crisis, call or text 988 or call 911.
The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline answers calls, texts and chats around the clock and supports people with mental health and substance use concerns. In Pennsylvania, 988 counselors can connect callers with local resources and, when needed, send a mobile crisis team. Every Pennsylvania county, including Westmoreland County, is required to provide crisis intervention services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Common questions
Where do I park at the Greensburg office?
There is a gravel parking lot directly behind the building at 113 Alwine Avenue. Once inside, the waiting area is on the first floor. None of our offices has an elevator or wheelchair access, so if stairs or uneven ground are a barrier, tell us when you call; online sessions are also an option.
Can I see a counselor other than the founder from Hempfield?
Yes. Nicole Stout, MA, LPC, sees adults with anxiety and trauma at the Greensburg office and online. Our Irwin counselor works with clients aged 12 and up on trauma, grief, perinatal seasons, relationships and life transitions, in Irwin and online. Our team page has all three profiles.
Do you see teenagers?
Yes. Our founder sees children aged 6 and up and teens at the Greensburg office. A parent or guardian comes to at least the first session, and the counselor explains privacy and its limits. Nicole Stout sees adults 18 and older.
What are the hours in Greensburg?
Sessions are by appointment. Our founder sees clients in Greensburg on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 am to 6 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 4 pm. Nicole Stout's Greensburg hours vary but usually run from 4 to 8 pm Tuesday through Thursday and 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays. Ask about the times you need.
