Meghan Gaydos, MA

S.A.F.E.® Family Recovery & Post Intervention Support

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Meghan’s passion for learning has been a constant throughout her life.  After obtaining a Master’s Degree in Education from Cleveland State University in 2006, Meghan moved to Arizona and began her teaching career.  Working closely with Phoenix school districts, their communities, families, and students, Meghan gained an in-depth understanding of family dynamics, family roles, and maladaptive behaviors–especially addiction–as they are experienced in our communities today. 

Addiction is a disease of isolation.  Recovery requires a life built around connection.  A true sense of belonging and feeling ”part of” are essential to overcoming addiction.  It is crucial that families become educated on how each member contributes to the dysfunction of the family unit so that a life worth living can be restored.  

Finally, an authentic connection to something greater than one’s self is what has grounded Meghan and steadied and strengthened her own personal recovery.  This, in addition to a connection with others, forms a design for living that really works!
