How long has Pathways Counseling Center been in operation?
"Pathways Counseling Center has been operating since 1991 when Nancy Makar began this private practice for mental health counseling. I took ownership of Pathways back in 2023, where I had been a part of Pathways since 2008. We currently have 11 therapists working under Pathways who cover working with children as young as 3 years old through play therapy, couples and family counseling, and all the way to seniors struggling with medical complications and everything in between."
-
What services is Pathways Counseling Center best known for?
"Pathways works with the majority of the community of Hernando County and neighboring counties. We are one of few counseling services nearby who take most major insurances including Medicare and Medicaid. This is imperative because there are many people struggling here in Hernando who cannot find services which take their insurance."
-
What is something the community might not know about Pathways Counseling Center?
"Pathways Counseling Center is one of longest running mental health practices in Hernando County (open since 1991). We work to remain involved in the community by having partnered with Boys and Girls Club and Tobacco Free Florida, being a Hernando Chamber of Commerce member, and supporting important agencies of the community like United Way of Hernando, The Dawn Center, and NAMI."

Pathways Counseling Center is a supporter of United Way through their annual BUSINESS BLITZ CHALLENGE since 2023! What drives your practice to stay involved locally?
"It is important for Pathways Counseling Center to give back to the community and connect with other agencies like United Way of Hernando. We all entered our profession at Pathways to help people and their families. Being involved in the community is the extension of the help we can provide. It is also important to understand that we as a community united are much stronger than any one of our services individually."

Is there anything else you want to share with the community about the Pathways Counseling Centers?
"At Pathways Counseling Center, we have made it our mission to be as available as possible to our future and present clients. We have real staff members who pick up the phones directly, not an automated system. If they happen to be on another line with a client during the time you call, we will call the you back as soon as possible. We have also added flexibility to those who may have a difficult time coming to our office by offering counseling through teletherapy. Being accepted is important and we strive to provide that to all our clients."
