About Us

Pathways Transition Programs, Inc. (PTP)

PTP offers a comprehensive array of assessment and therapy services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Services are both therapeutic and psycho-educational, fostering and supporting change and growth through healing the wounds of trauma and life challenges, as well as training and skill development to enhance coping skills and build resilience.

PTP staff consists of a diverse group of over 100 full-time professionals that include licensed psychiatrists, licensed psychologists, licensed counselors, licensed social workers and a team of highly trained and supervised behavioral aides.

History

​PTP was founded by Sunaina Rao Jain, PhD, a Clinical Psychologist with 35+ years experience working with at-risk families and youth.

Dr. Jain’s early work focused on children with attention and learning challenges and how these problems affect their emotional health and the lives of their families. Through subsequent work with children in foster care, she observed how positive learning outcomes are tightly intertwined with stable and enriched environments for growth.
​

In 1991, Dr. Jain opened PTP in order to train and develop a group of clinicians dedicated to a whole-life, integrated, approach to helping individuals and families in distress.
