What We Do

Potomac Pathways provides counseling and wellness services for teens, young adults, and families.

Our Mission: To help create a life in balance for teens, young adults and families in an environment of wellness and recovery.

Potomac Pathways is about young people...

Learning to live a life in balance while navigating the world of higher education and work;

Creating healthy relationships with family and friends in an environment that supports recovery;

Discovering a deeper place within, and learning to honor their own values and spiritual needs;

Continuing to do the sometimes challenging work of healing from unhealthy or addictive patterns and connecting with the joy of wholesome living;

Utilizing resources for learning, developing new skills, and having meaningful accomplishments that build confidence and increase motivation.

Potomac Pathways addresses ongoing recovery issues on a variety of levels that recognize the complex interplay of family, social systems and the individual's psychological and spiritual needs. Individual counseling helps to increase motivation, support positive identity formation, and identify addictive patterns; group work creates a supportive community where students come in contact with others who are exuberant about life in recovery; family work creates a space for deep listening, understanding and emotional healing.

And that's just the beginning. Potomac Pathways offers all of the above plus Weekend Wellness events that blend "wellness" activities—like yoga for overcoming addictions, mindfulness meditation, and more—with outdoor adventure experiences like rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, equestrian therapy and much more!
