OUR HISTORY
Pathways Counseling Center, Inc., formerly known as St. Mary's Counseling Services, informally began in 1980 with two volunteer counselors and a pastor's vision and untold compassion for his parish and the community at large.
Since then, the Center has grown to include a Clinical Director, 15 counselors and a clerical staff. Pathways Counseling Center offers professional counseling to individuals and families across the region.
