At Positive Pathways Counseling & Family Services, our mission is to offer unbiased, empathetic understanding to each person seeking counseling services and treatment with our experienced and uniquely focused clinical treatment options, services and products. Offering affordable therapy and counseling service information, outpatient therapy via telehealth counseling sessions, and providing a growing number of products, resources and referrals to those seeking more in-depth mental wellness information is the Positive Pathways Counseling mission. We feel that anyone in need of assistance should have access to quality counseling resources, information and guidance regarding services available in their area and online.  We strive to provide flexibility in appointment scheduling, counseling resources provided and the breath of information given to those seeking assistance with mental health issues.  Through offering experienced counseling, affordable fees, and scheduling flexibility via tele therapy services during the COVID pandemic, Positive Pathways Counseling is doing what we can to assist our community during these stressful, difficult and unsure times. It is also a goal for our company in 2023 to begin offering products and services, both free and available via a subscription for nominal fee, that can enable us to extend our ability to help more individuals who may be looking to subvert traditional psychotherapy and are seeking alternative treatment options.
