Our Specialty

Here at Pathways for Change, we specialize in the treatment and support of children, adolescents, teens and their families as they navigate their way to becoming successful young adults. Children heal and learn through play. We utilize play therapy when working with children. Play therapy, in addition to cognitive behavioral therapy, are the quickest way we know to get the results you need.

A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health and deserves the same quality of support.

What Our Clients Say

Very professional organization... From my first phone call to current treatment and beyond I hold the upmost respect for Pathways.
Please don't take the "Naysayers" on here that speak negative towards what these trained professionals are doing. "If you miss your appointment". ITS YOUR FAULT!!
"If they make your child do or say something you don't like but it changes their attitudes". GROW UP!! There is a reason these people say and do what they do.... Learn to trust them, and learn to trust the processes!!

During my experience with Jodi Merrill she was well organized, showed that she cared about my situation, and helped regulate sessions to get all parties to see the point of view of one another. Jodi was welcoming and kind despite issues that would occur that were of no fault of her’s. I felt that during our sessions that she gave both parents equal opportunities to voice our opinions in a controlled manner where people did not talk over each. Due to some issues we could never complete our services unfortunately. Nevertheless, the treatment at the facility was more than fair, and if you need family counseling I suggest going through Jodi Merrill. Fair, caring, and all about the betterment of the child, Merrill is the perfect professional with years of experience and a passion for what she does as seen through her work. Pathways for Change is the place to go!!
