Vision At Connected Pathways our understanding is that life gets hard and there are times of disconnection in your relationships (family, friends, community, or romantic relationships). We are here for you in those times. We help teach communication skills that will benefit you by being able to communicate for understanding instead of reacting within your relationships. We also help you recognize negative interaction cycles and help navigate positive change. Mission Connected Pathways strives to help clients form strong, healthy, and balanced relationships within the client’s systems in order to promote healing with self and others. About Connected Pathways Connected Pathways is about keeping your family and relationship connected despite having different paths taken in life. When we start out in our family of origin, we are on the path of our family. As we start to grow up and venture out on our own paths, others may join our path. The routes we take may create detours or merge a few different times with others, sometimes for a season and sometimes for life. Connected Pathways is here to help you navigate your path and keep you connected with your loved ones while keeping or finding your individuality. Our founder, Andrea (Andi) Griffith has a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Andi has worked as an educator from 2016 to 2023. She has also worked in the school system on the mental health side of the education system. She specializes in working with teens and parents, helping individuals navigate their past and present relationships, and helping couples work through issues. Andi created Connected Pathways because she is passionate about helping others achieve their goals and becoming the best version of themselves. Who we serve and how we aim to help We serve individuals, couples, and families that are in need of healing. We are versed in several different models of therapy but mainly use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT can be used with individuals, couples, and families although the format looks a little different. The main objective of EFT is to identify negative interaction patterns or patterns of behavior that are unhelpful or destructive, identify where those come from, and help the person heal the broken part (for individuals this includes their wounded inner child and for couples/families, this includes interactions or communications between members). The journey may not be easy all the time but we are here with you throughout the process.
