Introduction
Pathways Therapy Center, LLC was created by passionate therapists who provide the highest quality services for children with special needs. We are a family-centered collaborative center that is built on a foundation of quality, commitment and integrity. Our family-centered philosophy empowers parents to be the best and most consistent source of help for their child. Before doing any treatment planning, we'll help you weigh the pros and cons of intervention and with your help we'll identify your child's strengths and show you how to develop the weaknesses. Our collaborative approach means that therapists act as consultants and will listen to your to your concerns, answer questions, offer recommendations and teach you how best to help your child to continue to learn and grow.
