Connected Pathways

Connected Pathways Helping Healing Happen We are here for you in those times. We also help you be able to recognize negative interaction cycles and help navigate change.

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 help teach communication skills that will benefit you by being able to communicate for understanding instead of reacting within your relationships. 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 and is currently a Registered Intern with the state of Florida. Andi has worked as a teacher 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 and has experience working with couples as well. Andi created Connected Pathways because she is passionate about helping others achieve their goals and becoming the best version of themselves.

This month's Book of the Month is "You are the One You Have Been Waiting For" by Richard Schwartz, PhD.
Whether you are single or in a relationship, you will get something out of this one. This is an inside look into Internal Family Systems with a relational spin. Internal Family Systems is a theory that looks inward into different "parts" we all have: defensive, protective, injured parts, and Self.

I like to describe this theory as if you are a bus. I say a bus because there are many seats behind the drivers seat where all of your protective and injured parts sit. They take turns driving the bus depending on what trigger or injured part is activated. By using IFS, we learn to have those parts all take a passenger seat and let the us from today drive from a more healed place.

If you are interested in learning more, I highly recommend reading this book or reaching out for a free consultation by going to the link below

*Disclaimer: Andi is not IFS certified but is informed on this theory.
