About Us

There are particular kinds of friendships that from inception were destined for greatness. The kind where two people recognize in each other the same fire, the same frustration, the same refusal to accept the world as they found it. That is what existed between Dr. Marshall and Dr. Harper long before Behavioral Health Pathways had a name. They had trained in the same demanding crucible of clinical work, given their best inside systems that kept failing the very people they were built to serve, and felt the weight of it together. And one day, in the way that only happens between people who truly trust each other, they stopped talking about what was wrong and decided to become a part of the change.

What they built from that conversation was not just a practice. It was a declaration. Behavioral Health Pathways opened its doors in June 2021 with one simple belief at its center: that healing belongs to everyone, and that the people most let down by the system deserved not just a service but a home. Dr. Marshall, carried by the spirit of her late father Fred Tayree, is BHP's momentum, someone who moves with faith and conviction and does not wait for permission to do what she knows is right. Dr. Harper, the living answer to her grandmother's prayers, brings the depth, showing up with care, intention, and an unwavering commitment to the people she serves. They walked in that shared power for three years before the next chapter revealed itself.

And when Ms. Harper stepped into the role of practice manager, the missing piece found its place. She brought the kind of behind-the-scenes dedication that makes everything else possible, the one who makes sure that from the very first phone call, every person who reaches out feels like they matter. With all three women now building together, BHP Collective was born. Behavioral Health Connections became the group practice. Behavioral Health Pathways became the training ground both founders always dreamed of building. And through Ms. Harper's heart for community, the brand keeps growing.

This work was never built in a boardroom. It was built in the deep belief of three women who know that healing is sacred, that growth takes time, and that when you do this work right, you do not just change one person. You change everything they touch.
