Our Mission

Our Community Comes First

The Mission of Modern Path is to promote access to quality behavioral healthcare for individuals who identify as part of a gender, sexuality or relationship structure minority (GSRM). We strive to meet our mission through counseling, education, consulting, and various forms of community service.

Modern Path is a queer owned and operated business that centers the experiences of GSRMs. Each of our clinicians have made an agreement to uphold the values of social justice, inclusion, anti-oppression, and community service. We acknowledge that these values are complex, requiring lifelong personal and professional learning and development. We do not strive for perfection. We strive for awareness, accountability, and growth.
