About Us
Mission
It is the mission of Paths Forward to empower and strengthen our community through providing
therapeutic interventions and compassionate services, treating families and individuals that are
underserved, and in need. We pride ourselves in offering comprehensive therapeutic services to our
clients, to help move them forward. Our staff, which includes professionals from clinical, medical, and
social work backgrounds, is rooted in providing services that are meaningful and positively impactful.
Our team specializes in providing services to individuals and families of all ages who have experienced
trauma. We offer an array of services and interventions specifically targeting children and families, with
the hopes of helping families heal, adjust to major life changes, and cope with difficult life
circumstances.
Vision
We have built out an innovative 3,000sqft Family Engagement Center located in
Central Las Vegas. Our facility is unique in the sense that it offers a variety of specialized interventions
including a Sensory room for Sensory Integrated
Treatment, a Teen Engagement Area, Workstation room, Family Support Area, and a Training Room.
It is our hope that our facility will continue to grow and become an integrated agency with full service offerings to individuals, children and families.
