🌱 Continuity of Care: We Grow With Your Child

While some practices only see children through the elementary years, Pathways For Change is different. We provide continuity of care from childhood through the teen years and into college — so your child never has to start over with a new therapist when life changes.

• Elementary School We begin with play therapy, focusing on self expression, identifying emotions, and teaching coping skills to help increase emotional regulation. This helps kids build confidence and resilience throughout the lifespan.

• Middle & High School As challenges shift to academics, friendships, and identity, we adapt therapy with CBT, a long standing trusted relationship with the child’s therapists,  group therapy, and innovative programs like Dungeons & Dragons social skills groups, Virtual Reality Therapy to enhance those emotional regulation skills, build frustration tolerance, and increase self reflection.

• College and Young Adult Years We can pivot to telehealth sessions when necessary while students are away, so they can “take us with them" and flex back to in-person sessions during holiday breaks. Many of our clients look forward to returning to our cozy offices for extra encouragement and support from the therapists they’ve known for years, in the space they have become so familiar with.

This adaptability is what makes Pathways For Change unique. Families never have to worry about aging out of our services — because we grow with your child.
