  • Do you accept insurance?

    At this time, Pacific Pathways does not accept insurance. We are an out-of-network provider accepting private-pay clients. Upon request, we will provide you with a superbill as a statement of your services. You can submit the superbill on your own behalf to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. We recommend checking your out-of-network benefits with your insurance company. 

  • What is neurodiversity-affirming care?

    Neurodiversity-affirming care is an approach that recognizes differences such as autism, ADHD, and other learning or communication styles as natural variations of the human brain—not problems to be “fixed.” In our practice, this means we focus on each child’s strengths, honor their unique communication style (whether spoken, nonverbal, or using AAC), and set goals that are meaningful to them and their families. We avoid harmful or compliance-based practices, and instead support your child in building skills that help them thrive as their authentic self.
