The content on this website is not intended to replace individualized professional mental health care, medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Viewing this website, submitting a website form, sending an email, or otherwise communicating with The Path Center through the website does not by itself establish a therapist-client, counselor-client, or other professional treatment relationship.
A professional relationship is established only after appropriate intake procedures, consent documents, and other required steps have been completed and services have been formally accepted by The Path Center.

This website and its contact forms are not intended for emergencies, crisis situations, or urgent mental health needs.
If you or someone else is experiencing an immediate emergency or is in danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Individual results vary, and The Path Center does not guarantee a particular outcome from counseling, psychotherapy, EMDR, group therapy, art therapy, neurofeedback, or any other service discussed on the website.
Whether a particular treatment or service is appropriate for you should be determined in consultation with a qualified professional.

Additional policies regarding appointments, cancellations, payments, insurance, telehealth, confidentiality, and treatment may be provided separately to clients.

The Path Center takes privacy seriously. Information submitted through this website will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy practices and our posted Privacy Policy.
