Pathfinder

Need a place to land after inpatient treatment? Want more time to practice your new skills in a supportive environment? Or perhaps you’d like more support than traditional outpatient sessions can offer. Then our community integration program Pathfinder may be just what you’re looking for. You’ll find that most have recently been discharged from an inpatient or residential treatment facility, or they may simply need more support than traditional outpatient therapy provides. All are ready to continue their pursuit of living independently. Our team will work with you to increase self-determination and independence through a focus on translating insight into action amid real-life experiences. It’s a person-centered approach that keeps everyone involved in your care focused and motivated to achieve your goals while moving toward realizing your idea of “a life worth living.” The Pathfinder team has the expertise to help clients with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety), trauma, addictions/substance use and personality disorders. We also work with individuals who have autism spectrum disorder or learning differences. If you have trauma issues, an individualized plan will be created based on your needs and where you are in terms of healing. We offer individual trauma work, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and a trauma process and psychoeducational group that meets weekly. If you have a substance use disorder, we offer three psychoeducational and process groups each week, as well as individual work with a master’s-level, licensed chemical dependency counselor once per week. To help you find a recovery pathway that works for you, we also offer recovery coaching and will even take you to meetings in the community. , with 24/7 in-apartment support from our trained resident advisors or live independently. Most clients begin the program living in the apartments, which are within walking and biking distance of Pathfinder, and then transition into independent living. Our clients tend to stay in the program for three- to six-months, although there is no time commitment beyond the first month. We find that three- to six-months is usually enough time to develop and master skills and competence for independent living. Whether you need less time in Pathfinder or more, we’ll support you as you create the life you want.
