The story of Path2Growth began in a school building.
While working as a school psychologist, Dr. Samara Toussaint, the founder of P2G, saw firsthand how many children were struggling without the support they needed. Families were overwhelmed, burned out, and often left to navigate complex systems alone. Providers didn’t call back. Services were delayed. And every day, the gap between what children needed and what they received grew wider. Dr. Toussaint knew something had to change — she felt it in her spirit and in the faces of the parents who were begging for answers.

Everything shifted when Dr. Toussaint was out of work for over a month after being injured by a student in crisis.
During that time, she reflected on the countless children who were hurting, the exhausted families who felt invisible, and the school systems that were unable — or unwilling — to meet their needs. She realized that families deserved a place where they could finally be heard, supported, and guided with compassion. Path2Growth was born as a direct response to that need, a place designed to bridge the gap between families and the services that help them thrive.

As the world changed, Path2Growth expanded to meet the needs of adults as well.
After the pandemic, countless adults — especially women — began seeking answers about their own neurodivergence and mental health. Dr. Toussaint built Path2Growth to be a practice that supports the entire lifespan: children, teens, and adults who have gone far too long without the right care. At Path2Growth, we pick up the phone. If we can’t help you, we find someone who can. You’ll find Dr. Toussaint in churches, libraries, schools, and community spaces because our mission is bigger than an office: it’s to educate, inform, and uplift our community. Path2Growth is, at its heart, a community-based practice rooted in purpose, compassion, and growth.
