Check out the article that was written about us in Voyage Tampa Magazine!!!

Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea (Andi) Griffith. Hi Andi, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today? I started on my journey […]

Each month we would like to highlight a book recommendation for you. These books may offer insight and helpful tools to help you navigate an issue. We do recommend scheduling an appointment with us to help implement the tools as needed in real time.

This month, the book Fight Right by Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD and John Gottman, PhD is being featured. This dynamic duo of authors have not only written several books but have contributed to the field of marriage/couples therapy by developing a model that Andi uses concepts from in her work with couples. (Andi is also going to be Level 1 trained in this model on Dec 13 and 14th.)

This book is recommended for all couples. It touches on different styles of couples when it comes to conflict and tools, mindset shifts, and more to use when conflict inevitably arises. Couples argue, but are you fighting right? Find out by listening to or reading "Fight Right" by Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD and John Gottman PhD.

Comment below what you took away from this book if you have already read it or come back and comment after you read it. Let us know if you enjoyed this book as much as Andi did.

Why is going through Pre-Marital Counseling with a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist a good idea before your big day?

Andi's approach to pre-marital counseling allows for flexibility in approach based on you as a couple. She incorporates principles and concepts from Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment theory, and Prepare Enrich methods and ideologies. This ensures that she has the training and experience of many proven approaches while paying attention to what you as a couple struggle with and build a stronger understanding and appreciation for your partner.

Andi is private pay only (accepting all major credit cards, cash, or HSA cards) to ensure that insurance companies don't force a diagnosis or dictate treatment course. Individual sessions are $90 and couples sessions are $125 with sliding scale options available for those that qualify. Andi is passionate about making sure therapy is quality and affordable for all.

Don't snooze on pre-marital counseling! It will help set your relationship up for success and give you the skills to make it through the hard times!

Can your relationship stand the test of time? Without skills such as those listed in the illustration below, the journey together is much harder. Couples therapy can provide a safe space to talk about hard topics or things you as a couple disagree on. There is value in having a trained neutral party there to give perspective or ask the questions you can't think of because you are clouded with emotion. Attending couples therapy, even when things seem to be going smoothly will feel like you are safeguarding your relationship.

*Disclaimer, as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I do not decide if things get better or if you stay together as a couple. That is up to each couple/individual to decide. I am just here to help facilitate hard conversations and teach skills to hopefully help you be successful in whatever relationship you apply the things you learn.

Contact Andi today through the link below or by texting (863) 345-2596 to schedule your free 15 minute consultation today.

Every couple goes through issues. As a couple, do you have the conflict resolution skills, communication skills, and team perspective to handle any problem that comes your way?

If the answer is no, consider Connected Pathways as a safe place to learn, as a partnership, the skills necessary to revive your relationship. Even if you aren't facing challenges now, having a foundation of skills to rely on when you do have conflict and challenges will serve you well.

You or someone you know getting married? Connected Pathways is now offering pre-marital counseling where couples will develop conflict resolution skills, become aware of areas of growth as well as areas of strength, take a look at how their family of origin and engrained perceptions of the world/relationships impact them as a couple, and dig deep into Gottman's 7 Principles of making a marriage work. Andi is Prepare Enrich certified but also brings in her own experience, a dialogue meant to help couples communicate for understanding verses reacting to each other, Concepts of Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment styles, love languages, and more.

You don't have to be in the middle of conflict to seek out couples therapy whether you are engaged, married, in a committed relationship of any size or shape. You don't go to therapy because there is something wrong with you or you are broken. You go to therapy to fix your strategy because the things you have been doing in the past aren't working any longer. Even better if you develop strategies that you can rely on later in life individually and as a couple.

Announcement #2! Did you see our new logo?! We decided it was time for an upgrade!

09/17/2025

One of many announcements coming!!! Andi is now a fully Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)!
In case you are wondering, it is a long process to become a licensed mental health professional. You have to have your Master's degree (Andi got hers in Marriage and Family Therapy) in which you do an internship (student internship). After graduation, you have to apply for a Registered Internship through the state of Florida.
During Registered Internship one must get:
1500 client hours
100 hours of supervision
pass a national exam (it was hard!!!)
take 3 additional CE courses
then apply and pay a hefty fee to become licensed!

It took Andi 5 years to complete the whole process! New in person hours available!

Call now to schedule your appointment!
