A Practice Built onExpertise and Compassion
Christina M. Ward, Esq.LCSW, LMFT, MCAP, SAP
Christina M. Ward founded Pathways Resolution Center to provide a more thoughtful, integrated approach to family conflict. As both an attorney and a licensed clinical social worker and marriage and family therapist, she brings a unique perspective to mediation, co-parenting support, Guardian ad Litem services, and family evaluations.
Her approach is particularly valuable in high-conflict cases, where traditional legal processes alone often fail to resolve underlying issues. By integrating clinical understanding with legal structure, she helps families move toward more stable and workable solutions.
Christina has been a licensed clinician for more than 20 years and a member of The Florida Bar for more than 7. She has worked in the family law support arena for over a decade and has conducted more than 200 social investigations for Florida’s family courts.
Before founding Pathways Resolution Center, Christina served as a mental health and substance abuse system-of-care executive, including regional leadership with the Florida Department of Children and Families and executive leadership with LSF Health Systems. Her consulting work includes the development of the children’s mental health system of care in Jacksonville, a system-of-care mental health and substance abuse needs assessment spanning 51 of Florida’s 67 counties, and the Self-Advocates Fellows Program.
At the core of her work is a commitment to helping individuals and families move forward with greater clarity, reduced conflict, and a stronger foundation for the future.

We strive to support individuals who want to build lives marked by greater peace, stability, and purpose, while helping to create environments where children are free from ongoing parental conflict — allowing them to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.
