Pathways to Healing, located at 3830 Forest Drive, Suite 201 in Columbia, South Carolina, is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Established in 1983, it is one of 15 rape crisis centers in the state, serving Richland, Lexington, Newberry, Clarendon, and Sumter counties. The organization provides confidential, no-cost services for survivors and their loved ones, including crisis intervention, individual counseling, advocacy, and referrals to additional supportive resources.
The center employs highly trained staff who use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help survivors process trauma and regain control over their lives. With services tailored for children, adolescents, adults, and families, Pathways to Healing also operates a 24-hour crisis hotline and provides hospital accompaniment to support survivors immediately following an assault. The organization emphasizes safety, coping skill development, and a supportive, non-judgmental environment to guide survivors through every stage of the healing process.
met the most amazing people here, and the therapists, even if they didn't always know how to help, genuinely care so much about what they do and it's so clear. changed my life
Our personal experience with NAMI South Carolina, its programs and support groups, was a life-changer for our family. I don't want to think about where we might be if we hadn't taken Family-to-Family and participated in support groups during some extremely difficult times for our son and our family. Thank you for being there! I joined the staff about 15 years ago in an attempt to "pay it forward." Now retired from NAMI South Carolina, I am working part-time locally with my area affiliate. The good work needs to continue for individuals and families that need the help and support!!

If you want help this is the place to go . I was the first one here when they opened . And I have to say it felt like a home not like a rehab place. They treat you like a Person not like a patient. Three great meals a day and activities to keep you busy. They are here to help you realize that you are a person and you can overcome whatever is holding you down. And as for the staff they were on point very help full . I felt that they weren't here just to work but to help and support. Now that lm leaving I realize that everything that they taught me is to continue my wellness in my life to come. So I say thank-you to everyone at the wave.
