Today we’d like to introduce you to Joshua Boulter. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Sidu spent years working within the school system and Joshua spent years serving folks on the autism spectrum before pursuing mental health. Pahtia is their passion, bringing small business ownership and mental health together.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Owning a small business is tough, especially in the era of Covid. And yet, people have needed support more than ever. It’s been a real struggle to navigate these waters for all of us but we’re so happy to have landed here in the Austin area.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Pahtia Counseling Center is a small private practice in Kyle, TX, offering individual and family psychotherapy. Pahtia was started by Sidu Arroyo-Boulter and Joshua Boulter in June of 2021 in the Dallas. After years of considering moving their family, they decided to relocate to the Austin area in March of 2022. We serve people of all backgrounds and walks of life. We are an LGBTQ-affirming practice. We specialize in relational issues/trauma, anxiety and depression, the meaning of life, and personality disorders.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
The mental health field has experienced a major boom over the past few years, and with that therapy has been destigmatized for many. And yet, there’s still a long way to go for people of various cultures to feel safe and have affordable access to quality mental health care. With the rise of managed care, clinicians are being told more and more how to provide services to their clients. This is unfortunate. And yet I’m hopeful. Psychotherapy can be incredibly meaningful and we’re excited and honored to provide care for our patients.
