Pathway For Joy

Welcome to Pathway For Joy! We offer professional grief counseling, life coaching, and widow mentorship.

What I Do

Grief doesn’t always look like tears.

Sometimes, it looks like emotional numbness, silent suffering, or pretending everything’s fine while falling apart on the inside.

At Pathway For Joy, I walk with women of faith through the emotional and spiritual process of healing after loss and life transition.

I help you go from silent grief to lasting joy through Spirit-led grief counseling, life coaching, and widow mentorship.

This isn’t just encouragement.

This is transformation—rooted in biblical truth, emotional safety, and deep inner work.

Brave Hearts, Big Feelings: Grief Counseling & Emotional Wellness for Children and Teens

Supporting Young Hearts Ages 5–17

When a child or teen experiences loss—whether it’s the death of a loved one, a major life transition, or emotional disconnection—they often struggle to find the words to express their pain. At Pathway For Joy, we create a safe, nurturing space where young people are gently supported through the journey of grief and emotional healing.

Because Grief Looks Different on Every Child

Children and teens process grief in unique ways. Some may act out. Others withdraw. Many can’t articulate what they’re feeling at all. Our age-appropriate approach meets them exactly where they are—with empathy, creativity, and care.

Using therapeutic conversation, expressive activities (like art, storytelling, and play), and trauma-sensitive techniques, we help children:

Understand and express their emotions in healthy ways
Feel seen, heard, and validated in their experience
Learn coping skills and calming strategies
Rebuild a sense of hope, safety, and connection

What We Offer

We work with children and teens ages 5 to 17 in 4-session support packages, designed to build trust and provide meaningful emotional breakthroughs over time.

Each session package includes:

A brief parent/guardian intake consultation
Four age-appropriate one-on-one sessions
A progress summary and next-step recommendations after the final session

Whether your child has experienced the death of a loved one, divorce in the family, illness, or other life disruptions, we are here to walk with them—gently and intentionally—toward healing.

A Trusted Partner for Parents and Caregivers

At Pathway For Joy, we understand how difficult it can be to watch your child hurt. That’s why we partner with parents every step of the way, offering guidance, compassion, and professional insight without judgment.

“Grief is not a problem to be solved, but a sacred journey to be supported.”

Kid’s Counseling & Emotional Wellness

About Carmen Andrea Harris

Grief doesn’t get the final say. God does.

I know what it feels like to carry silent grief behind a strong face. I’ve been the woman who kept showing up for others while quietly breaking inside. But I’ve also been the woman who found her way back to peace, joy, and wholeness—with God leading the healing.

I’m Carmen Andrea Harris, Certified Grief Counselor, Inner Healing Practitioner, and founder of Pathway For Joy. I help women of faith move from silent grief to emotional healing and lasting joy—through Spirit-led counseling and practical, proven tools for inner healing.

This is not therapy. This is not surface-level advice.

This is deep, sacred work—rooted in biblical truth, emotional wellness, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Why I Do This Work

After navigating grief, spiritual burnout, and emotional breakdowns myself—from the death of my late husband, I realized prayer alone wasn’t enough. I needed space to feel, process, and be guided through healing—without judgment or pressure to “just be strong.”

Now, I provide that space for other women.

Through my 6-week signature process, I help women identify suppressed grief, release emotional burdens, and experience real restoration—from the inside out.

This is your safe place. This is your next step.
