So happy we found him and can't recommend him enough! Zach Kissell has also been wonderful for individual counseling, and the ladies who help up front have always been kind and efficient!

Highly recommend!

This was the most horrible experience I have ever had. I came here in a complete time of crisis. I…read morewas unsafe and explained my situation. The counselor was uncaring and only took my basic information instead of helping me through the crisis and at the very least giving me some resources of places that would be willing to help me. I spent $100, as I considered it to be an ER type visit. The counselor quickly ended our session, pushing me into the lobby when I was still sobbing uncontrollably. It was humiliating to be pushed into the small lobby with that level of emotion in front of 2 men and a child, with a woman who came in as well. Even the receptionist did not offer my to use their bathroom to wash up or Kleenex. All they wanted was to be paid and me out of there. This is absolutely the last place I would send anyone to. If you want help, resources, connection don't waste your time and/or money. This place does not even worthy of 1 star. 2/8/2020 You were correct about one thing, I did not get charged $100...I got charged for $200 and it shows on the bottom that I used a debit or credit card. Nice way to outright lie about your counseling group. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. People in need of proper counseling beware.

Dorice irrevocably harmed my marriage…read more I sought Dorice's help, hoping to save my marriage. I was willing to do anything necessary. My wife and I had already visited a counselor who took sides, so I talked with Dorice beforehand to say that we weren't looking for someone to stir conflict or tear one or the other down; we were looking for insight. Dorice said this wasn't her style, saying she had worked with the Gottman institute, a well-respected and well-researched marriage counseling and research firm. I was impressed. We scheduled an appointment. Doris gave us a one-page handout of a happy-home process from Gottman, outlining the strategy she used for working with couples. We never heard or saw anything about Gottman again, and her process was nothing like the brief outline she gave us. Instead, she continued to revisit the same issues over and over again, creating strife. My wife and I would arrive for counseling sessions in good spirits but nervous, and Dorice would pick at old scabs, stirring conflict and getting my wife angry and emotional. I was then left to deal with her anger for three or four days after. We couldn't move to growing or learning, because Dorice would continue to revisit past hurts again and again. I pleaded with her to not keep coming back to the same issue, but she did, making it larger and more important. Dorice decided in our first visit that I was full of shame. I don't have problems with shame. She suggested in our second visit that I was insecure; yes, about losing my marriage, but not much else. She suggested in our third visit that I had been abused. No, never. Each week brought out a new theory, and each week she forgot the prior week's diagnosis. When I leaned forward to listen to what she was saying once -- a good four feet away from her -- she stopped our discussion and said she felt threatened by my presence. I'm a gentle man, never violent, but Dorice planted seeds like that with my wife often. I began to think she didn't trust men. I met with her individually, to ask why we weren't addressing my hurts or my wife's offenses. She said we would get to them eventually. In the meantime, my wife was stirred up weekly about how wrong I was, and felt justified in being angry, never hearing how she was impacting our marriage (nor her family with her.) I insisted on another counselor. That counselor (a male and female couple) saw that there was blame on both sides and wanted to work with both of us. Justified by Dorice that she had nothing she had done wrong, my wife refused to go back to the new counselors once they said she wasn't taking responsibility for her own actions. (Meanwhile, I've continued to see these counselors with much success.) I met with Dorice to tell her I wouldn't be returning, and that my wife was filing for divorce. "Uh huh," she replied. She had no empathy. I also told her that I'd recorded our sessions, for my own use. I told her that I'd listened to them again and heard how genuinely poor her counseling was, and Dorice FLIPPED OUT. She jumped up and stood in my personal space, threatening to call the police. I remained calm and asked her to do the same. She wanted to know if I was going to report her. "Someone needs to know about the harm you're doing to people," I told her. She cried about losing her license, pleading with me to not contact the State Board of Licensing. She showed no concern for my loss but was overwhelmed with fear about her own potential loss. It made me wonder if she'd had other complaints to the state. She insulted me, and then again pleaded for mercy asking me to keep my opinion and my recordings secret. It turns out that a Dorice has some marital disappointment of her own, and I feel like she sees men differently through the lens of her own experience. I asked Dorice about Gottman and her style of counseling. Does she use any empirically validated methods? "No, some people do, but I don't," she said. So basically it appears that she didn't really have any affiliation with Gottman and is just an old lonely woman meddling in marriages and unable to cope with her own past hurts. I recommend you stay away.

I have been to quite a few counselors and this is the first time that I had a great experience. I…read morewent to Dorice when I lived in Georgia and miss our session now that I moved to Oregon. First, my partner and I went to Dorice to help us with our communication issues. We were on the brink of divorce and had a lot of resentment towards one another. Dorice really listened with care each session and provided tools and advice that brought love and respect into our marriage. We would have "homework" after some sessions to assist with communication. Now, it's almost strange to look back on what our relationship was like compared to how much better it is now. I can literally say that Dorice saved our marriage. I then went to Dorice individually after we discontinued with marriage counseling. My grandfather had passed away and I was very close with him. I felt all over the map emotionally and Dorice truly helped me through the grieving process. I was able to do it at my own pace and learn that tears, then anger, then feeling okay all in the same day is just part of the process with the steps of grief and it's not like you do them all in the right order one time and it's done. She also helped me with other personal issues I was facing, included at my job. Dorice has a lovely disposition. She's very intelligent and when I talk to her I feel like she is a wise friend instead of someone that I don't feel comfortable bearing my soul to. Finding a counselor that is a great fit is hard as many of us already know this. Dorice was our perfect fit and I wish I could move her to Oregon because I miss her guidance. Thank goodness she prepared us with tools so we learned what to do on the bad days. I miss you, Dorice!

I first want to advise that this practice is made up of partners in the firm (much like a law firm)…read moreas well as therapists in training, therapists who rent office space and 2 psychiatrists who are independent contractors. Giving all of Pathway 1 star because you didnt have good results with one therapist is irrational and does not represent the entirety of the practice and the good it does in the community. All of the practictioners here take different types of insurance, some take Medicare and Medicaid, and have different hours and availability. I have been a patient of Darrin Bronfman, LCSW for over 9 years now. We meet together on a weekly basis to address issues related to my diagnosed bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder and PTSD. During the years i have taken jobs which required travel or had medical issues that kept me homebound and we still met via phone or Skype on a weekly basis. Mr. Bronfman has always made himself available for after hours coaching in emergency situations by email or phone. He takes more of a psychodynamic approach to therapy, combining cognitive behavioral and DBT concepts in as well. I have improved significantly in the last few years thanks to his coaching and support. Mr. Bronfman has also successfully met with friends and family members of mine over the years to help them understand my illness and behavior. For several years I was in a dating relationship and Mr Bronfman referred us to one of his trainees for couples counseling. The trainee was well educated and supervised throughout her work with us. She helped us come to the difficult yet necessary decision that our relationship was not sustainable. We appreciated her guidance and were able to remain friends beyond. The trainee has since gone on to maintain her own successful practice elsewhere thanks to her experience at Pathway. I attribute the work Ive done with Darrin to be critical to the improvements I have made in my illness, improvements I have made as a human being and in my personal and professional relationships. 9 years ago I could not hold down a dating relationship or job - now I work full time and have positive interpersonal interactions in all areas of my life. And bluntly put - without the connection I share with Darrin, i am not sure I would be alive today. Darrin thank you for everything youve done for me, and heres to the next 9 and more.
