Individual Therapy and Counseling

Psychologists and counselors at our Counseling Office provide an opportunity for consumers to explore freely any personal problems or concerns they may not wish to share with family or friends. At your first appointment, we will discuss the issues that led you to schedule an appointment.

Our therapists will guide you through the process regarding how Positive Pathways can best serve your individual needs and provide the kind of assistance you need and which staff member would be most appropriate for you.
