Mental health counseling services is our mission at Emerging Pathways. You will find a deep commitment to meet you where you are and to honor the pace for your desired change and growth. Together we will explore the journey you walked before and create a path to lasting change. Your story and the layers of embodied emotional experience will be received with authentic kindness and compassion.
Our work is rooted in an anti-oppressive, trauma informed framework bringing with it an awareness of the multitude of ways trauma happens to us: in relationships, intergenerationally and oppressive societal structures. Through a collaborative process we will attend to your story, mapping the places of pain and resilience and work in a holistic manner towards integration and healing.
Another commitment towards mental health counseling services at Emerging Pathways is to work towards unlearning internalized social structures and to creating shared spaces with community to transform the current wellness model into one that is centering BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) wellbeing and knowledge.
Emerging Pathways offers counseling services for individuals, couples, adolescents and families.
Workshops explore the complexities, joys and challenges of parenting. We are passionate about our work with families, especially in the teen and adolescent years.
We provide training and consultation to professionals seeking to be more trauma-informed and to engage in dialogue centered on our ethical responsibility to decolonize therapy.
"We worked with Swati on parenting workshops for our community. She was flexible, patient, and willing to meet the community where they are at. She is caring, warm, professional, and was adaptable to the obstacles that came our way. She was culturally responsive and worked to address the topics in a way that the community members could relate to. She was able to articulate complex theories for the audience and was open to feedback in ensuring audience engagement."
"We are increased in our partnership with Swati & Emerging Pathways. In poorer African communities, only those cut from a special cloth are accepted into the most intimate and vulnerable parts of our lives. Swati’s graceful connections with our Passenger families suffering complex traumas, have added an urgently need value to our process of Gang Rescue and Refinement. We are grateful to have joined another that leads with compassion."
"Collaborating with Swati came very naturally to me. Being a professional social worker I could immediately identify the core traits that made up the approach towards the people she worked with. Swati invests the time and deliberation required to truly understand the people that work with her, emotionally and culturally. I have always been in awe of her sensitivity towards the backgrounds and socio-economic situation of the people she works with. Swati is one of the most hard-working and sincere professionals I have had the pleasure of working with, and I recommend her services professionally and more importantly, personally."
