About MPath
Care that honors the whole person
MPath Wellness Center began with a simple belief: that healing happens most naturally when you feel truly seen, in your language, your culture, and your own timing.
Our story
Rooted in Freehold, grown for all of Monmouth County
Founded by Maria Dodds, MS, LPC, MPath Wellness Center was built to fill a gap in the Freehold and greater Monmouth County community: a practice where bilingual, culturally responsive care is the standard, not the exception.
We serve children, teens, and adults from all walks of life, from nearby towns like Manalapan, Marlboro, Howell, and Colts Neck, and across New Jersey through telehealth.

Our philosophy
Therapy as a steady, shared path
We believe you are the expert on your own life. Our role is to walk beside you, offering warmth, evidence-based tools, and a space where nothing about you needs to be hidden or explained away.
Why it matters
Why bilingual and culturally responsive care
In a community as diverse as Monmouth County, care in your first language isn't a luxury, it's where real understanding begins.
Warmth
You're met with kindness and steadiness, every single session.
Evidence-based
Approaches grounded in research, tailored to fit your life.
Culturally grounded
Care that respects your language, identity, and story.
