The story of Path2Growth Counseling began in a school building.

While working as a school psychologist, Dr. Samara Toussaint, founder of Path2Growth Counseling, saw how many children were struggling without the support, evaluations, and mental health services they needed. Families were overwhelmed, burned out, and often left to navigate complicated school, healthcare, and community systems alone. Calls went unanswered. Services were delayed. Children continued to struggle. Parents were left searching for answers.

Dr. Toussaint knew something had to change. She saw it in the faces of families asking for help, advocacy, guidance, and compassionate care.

Everything shifted when Dr. Toussaint was out of work for more than a month after being injured by a student in crisis. During that time, she reflected on the many children who were hurting, the families who felt invisible, and the systems that were often unable to meet their needs. She knew families deserved a place where they could be heard, supported, and guided with compassion.

Path2Growth Counseling was created in response to that need.

Our practice was built to bridge the gap between families and the services that help them grow, heal, and thrive. We provide therapy, psychological evaluations, neurodivergent-affirming support, ADHD and autism-informed care, trauma-informed treatment, executive functioning support, and community education for children, teens, adults, and families.

As the world changed, Path2Growth expanded to support adults as well. After the pandemic, many adults, especially women, began seeking answers about anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, burnout, executive functioning, and their own neurodivergence. Dr. Toussaint built Path2Growth to support people across the lifespan, including children, teens, college students, parents, professionals, and adults who have gone too long without the right care.

At Path2Growth Counseling, we believe support should feel human. We pick up the phone. We listen. We guide. If we cannot help, we do our best to connect you with someone who can.

You may find Dr. Toussaint and the Path2Growth team in schools, churches, libraries, community events, and local organizations because our mission is bigger than an office. We are here to educate, inform, advocate, and uplift our community.

Path2Growth Counseling is a community-based mental health practice rooted in purpose, compassion, advocacy, and growth.
