Two Simple Steps
This quick initial call is to gather your basic information and answer any questions you have. We’ll schedule a more in-depth conversation (clinical assessment) with a mental health professional for a time that works for you, including the very same day if that’s what you prefer.
During this assessment conversation, one of our mental health professionals will get to know you as a unique and whole person. You’ll get matched with the exact support you need. We’ll discuss what you’re currently experiencing, any past support you’ve gotten, and your specific needs.

Stories from our alumni
When I first began my journey, I thought I was broken and needed to be fixed. I thought I was damaged and I needed to catch up. And that’s shame. I felt like I needed to earn love, safety, protection, my voice, worthiness, connection. I now know I’m whole as I am. I was never damaged, I was having the appropriate response for what I was going through at the time.
Eric Dorsa (they/them)
National Mental Health Advocate at Eating Recovery Center
Slowly, through the help of Pathlight, I began to turn the wheel and change my mindset. Trauma group was the first place in my life that I felt I belonged and had a sense of comradery. For the first time I did not feel alone. My biggest takeaway was my mental health does not define me, and it is only a part of me.

For kids and teens under 18, we involve families from the very beginning, including the assessment process. Our families play a very important role in treatment and long-term recovery.
If I do have a referring provider, will they be involved in this process?
Yes, if you have a therapist, dietitian, psychiatrist, primary care doctor or other provider who referred you to us, they will be as involved as you want them to be. They can even join your assessment call with you, to provide additional support and guidance. With your approval, we will keep them updated throughout the assessment process, too.

For Providers:
Our Team is Your Team
You know your client best, and you can see when they need a little (or a lot of) extra help. When you first get the feeling that they could benefit from more structure and support, get in touch. We’ll work together to get your client matched with the exact support they need.
Here’s how to partner with us:
Start by referring your client for an assessment. An experienced mental health professional will get to know them and match them with the exact support they need.
This can even be scheduled during one of their regular sessions with you, so you’ll be there to offer additional support and guidance.
Many people will have mixed feelings about entering care, that's a natural part of this process. While validating any feelings that might be coming up for them, we encourage you to stand firm in your clinical recommendation and let us know how we can help you navigate these conversations.
You’ll remain as involved in your client’s case as you want to be. With continuing education events, resources and more, we’ll also give you the tools you need to support your client when they transition back to your care.
