About Positive Pathways

We’ve seen it all – the frustration, the tears, the sleepless nights spent worrying about a child’s future.

Whether you’re a parent or a professional, it’s tough to watch a child face behavioral challenges without the right support. At Positive Pathways, we’ve made it our mission to be that support for Virginia’s youth. 

Our team of licensed therapists offers behavioral health services that not only address the challenges a child faces—but also helps them discover strengths you never knew existed. We blend compassion with results, creating a supportive environment where each child can truly shine.

Our unique approach blends science and social work, letting us see each child as a whole person—not just a diagnosis

Whether it’s through our Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy (ABA), Intensive In-Home Services, Mental Health Skill-Building, or Outpatient Therapy, we focus on personalized, compassionate care that meets children and adults where they are.

We’ve helped people of all ages grow more confident, more connected, and more at ease in their world—and we’d be honored to support your child on their journey, too.

Over 25 years of professional mental health support experience

We’re on a mission to guide individuals on their path toward confidence, communication, and connection.

Each member of our team brings a wealth of experience and a genuine commitment to helping children and their families thrive

Our Values

Empathy

We care deeply about every child and family we work with.

Empowerment

We provide children and families with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to navigate their unique life path.

Collaboration

We work together with families, schools, and other professionals to provide comprehensive care.

We’ve helped countless children grow more confident, connected, and at ease in their world 

Raising mentally healthy, happy children truly takes a village 

There’s power in community. We actively engage in outreach and partnership programs to support as many families as possible throughout Virginia.

We’d be happy to connect you with resources, professionals, or other “wrap-around” services outside of 1:1 interventions that can help you reach your goals.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

— Albus Dumbledore

  • We See Your Child as a Whole Person

    We know every child is different, which is why we create a plan just for them. We take time to understand their strengths, challenges, and what makes them unique, so they get the care that truly fits who they are.

  • Proven Care with a Heart

    Our therapists use methods that are proven to work, but we also make sure your child feels seen, heard, and cared for. It’s not just about therapy—it’s about helping your child feel safe, supported, and ready to grow.

  • We’re Here for You, Too

    We understand that your child’s journey affects the whole family. That’s why we’re here to guide and support you, giving you the tools and confidence to help your child grow, even after the sessions end.

  • Accessible & Affordable Care

    We believe every person should get the support they need, without financial worries. That’s why our services are covered by Medicaid, making it easier for your family to access the care your child deserves.
