Bright Path is Growing: New Look and a Second Location

Something big is happening at Bright Path. We’re opening our doors in a second location in November and unveiling a fresh new look along the way. We believe teen mental health deserves care that’s accessible, modern, and designed for real life — so we are proud to announce that Bright Path is coming to Hillsborough, NC, and launching a new logo.

Bright Path exists because someone said, “There has to be a better way.” We’re still answering that call—committed, energized, and here for the long haul.

Why Now?

Dr. Shantel Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer

Reaching More Teens

Hillsborough isn’t just a second location. It’s a chance for even more teens to find their footing. Whether they’re wrestling with anxiety, depression, school refusal, or the pressure of just being a teen today, Bright Path creates the space for them to be seen, heard, and supported.

Looking Ahead

A new brand. A new building. A bigger impact. This is just the beginning.

What’s Next

The Hillsborough location is set to welcome teens ages 12–18 starting at the end of 2025. Families will find the same Bright Path approach they’ve come to trust: evidence-based, developmentally appropriate, ethically delivered care that empowers teens to build resilience, emotional literacy, and agency they’ll carry far beyond our doors.

Follow along as we share updates, sneak peeks inside the new space, and reflections from our team. The best way to stay in the loop? Follow us on Instagram or LinkedIn
