Positive Pathways and Wellness Center offers in-person therapy in downtown Hagerstown for adults, adolescents and children. Our nurse practitioners are trained psychotherapists who use structured, evidence-based treatments focused on real, measurable progress.
Conditions we treat with therapy
Depression
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including behavioral activation and cognitive restructuring, to lift mood, rebuild routines and prevent relapse.
Anxiety
CBT and gradual exposure for generalized worry, panic attacks, social anxiety and specific fears.
Trauma and PTSD
Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) for children and teens from age 6, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for teens and adults.
OCD
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Our approach
Therapy at Positive Pathways is active and collaborative. Goals are set together at the start, sessions build practical skills, and progress is reviewed regularly. For children and teens, parents and caregivers are part of the process so that new skills carry over at home and at school.
