Welcome to Building Pathways
At Building Pathways Transformation we believe healing and growth happen at every level: personal, family, and systemic. Whether you are seeking occupational therapy for your child, nervous system support for yourself, or consultation for schools and agencies, we help build new pathways to connection, safety, and transformation.
Get to Know Us
Rooted in
Regulation. Growing Toward Change.
Neuroaffirming care for every nervous system
At Building Pathways, we provide neuroaffirming, trauma-informed support for children, adults, caregivers, and professionals.
We integrate brain-based therapies such as Brainspotting, the Safe & Sound Protocol, and holistic occupational therapy to help people move beyond survival patterns into clarity, resilience, and connection.
Building Pathways was founded by Jamie “Raven” McGill, OTR/L, a neurodivergent, Indigenous occupational therapist and Brainspotting practitioner. Raven blends over a decade of clinical expertise with ancestral wisdom and the latest neuroscience to create safe spaces for transformation.
We believe:
-
The nervous system holds the key to change.
-
Healing happens in relationship, not isolation.
-
Transformation begins the moment we open to building new pathways.
