Who We Are

At Pathways, we believe that healing begins with understanding.
Our Global Mental Health Program provides therapy for forcibly displaced individuals and culturally diverse communities, grounded in respect, compassion, and cultural humility.

Our team integrates clinical expertise with deep cultural awareness, supporting individuals as they navigate the challenges of trauma, displacement, and adjustment to new environments.

Why Our Work Matters

Over 110 million people worldwide are forcibly displaced, facing immense psychological challenges such as grief, trauma, and loss of identity.
Many struggle to access care that truly reflects their cultural experiences and stories.

At Pathways, we are committed to closing this gap—providing evidence-based, respectful, and culturally responsive mental health services that restore hope and belonging.

Our Approach

We use an integrative, collaborative, and culturally grounded model, tailoring care to each person’s strengths, needs, and cultural identity.
Our work centers on partnership, shared learning, and mutual respect—empowering both clients and clinicians to grow together.

Our staff receive ongoing training, supervision, and cross-cultural consultation to ensure culturally informed and effective care.
We proudly serve clients in their preferred languages through bilingual clinicians and professional interpreters, including:
Arabic, Burmese, Somali, Sgaw Karen, Pwo Karen, Swahili, French, Lingala, German, Karenni, Kinyarwanda, Yoruba, Hmong, Thai, and more.
