What customers say about Pathways Counseling Services
Recent reviews
I’ve had the chance to work alongside Pathways Counseling Services, and what truly stands out is how the practice is run. Stephanie Levitt has built a team culture in Scottsdale that’s rare in behavioral health: therapists who are supported, invested in, and clearly proud to be there, which shows up in how they treat clients. They also look beyond the office, offering workshops like the DBT skills group they’re currently running for anyone in the community who wants better tools for hard conversations. If you’re looking for counseling for yourself, your kids, or your relationship, this is a practice run by people who care about doing it right.
Stephanie is wonderful! She has created a safe space and warm environment. She always makes me feel heard and seen, thank you for the work you do!! I can tell you really care for your clients and I always look forward to our sessions. Thank you!

I believe deeply in the power of EMDR and DBT. My experience of Pathways was a business setup for the business owner. They did not accept insurance, were on the EXPENSIVE side, & required cancelation 48-hours prior to your appointment. The business frequently offered incentives to boost their ratings.
My experience of EMDR was sitting with bilateral stimulation while Stephanie read a magazine or scrolled on her phone. Very little checking in, or guidance. Being my first experience and in comparison to more the traditional approaches I have since experienced with greater focus on the client and more frequently checking in, I found this method largely unhelpful.
My experience of the DBT classes was Haley reading PowerPoint slides to a group that dwindled down to a few participants and still next to no engagement. Reading one part of our worksheet homework was our only engagement. I found a DBT bundle through Etsy to be a better investment. I also worked with Chloe and Allison.
My experience of family counseling with Chloe was most frustrating when after hearing the little snippets shared in a short counseling session she shared her judgments of what was going on, applied surprisingly little DBT skills and did next to nothing to establish safe communication between me and my family member. I felt more like I hired a judge and jury than a counselor. Her judgments, whether supporting 'my side' or not, were not accurate or helpful and did little to help us communicate or regulate. A reasonable person would have an increased emotional response to the family counseling we received with Chloe.
My preferred counselor to work with at Pathways was Allison by far. She has a caring demeanor and applied more skills than the others. Our time was cut short and damage was done before we began with her but she was the most helpful out of our experiences at Pathways.
I was extremely fortunate to work with an amazing out-of-state coach who brought so much clarity to our situation and provided effective support in truly starting the ball rolling for gaining a greater understanding of DBT and bringing lasting change to our challenging family dynamic. In addition to our DBT skills, we used clear expectations around NVC (non-violent communication) and showing up with a non-judgmental presence, creating the environment to come back to our agreed upon expectations as needed.
I regret turning to Pathways for family counseling. Overall our time spent at Pathways made things worse. Furthermore, when I reached out between sessions, I never heard back. When I expressed my frustration over the lack of communication, I never heard back. Stephanie, nor any of the other counselors I worked with, have ever reached out after leaving several messages using the method I was directed to use by their office staff, but she can respond to reviews.
I hope you find the quality support you deserve. For me, it was not at Pathways.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feelings. We are sorry to hear that none of our therapists could meet your needs throughout the entire time you were with us and hope to be able to learn from your feedback.
We take pride in being as honest and transparent as possible during the therapeutic process and always try to do what’s in the best interest of our clients. As a general rule, not everyone is a fit for family therapy if all parties involved are not motivated to work on the relationship. We believe it is in our clients’ best interest to be honest with them if that is what we observe so they can make an informed decision if they’d like to continue with family therapy. In doing so, we have built a strong reputation for getting results and being transparent so that our clients can rely on being told the truth and not just to get their business. Unfortunately, we cannot discuss the details of your situation on this forum but would welcome a call to discuss your concerns.
We are happy to hear that you found what you needed.
