Journeys Counseling Services

You may look successful on the outside — but inside feel anxious, reactive, disconnected, or exhausted. Maybe you: *Overthink everything. *Struggle to calm your nervous system. *Keep having the same argument in your relationship. *Feel “not good enough,” no matter how much you accomplish. *Love your partner but don’t feel emotionally safe or understood. You don’t have to stay stuck in these cycles. At Journeys Counseling Services, I provide trauma-informed individual and couples therapy to help you understand the patterns beneath the surface — and finally change them. For Individuals: You might be high-functioning, driven, and responsible — yet privately overwhelmed. Trauma doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like: *Constant self-criticism *Anxiety that won’t fully settle *Emotional reactivity in relationships *Feeling disconnected from your body *Difficulty trusting others (or yourself) Using EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and nervous-system-informed approaches, we will work to: *Reduce emotional intensity *Heal unresolved trauma *Strengthen self-trust *Create healthier relational patterns *Help your nervous system feel safe again Healing is not about “fixing” you — it’s about understanding what shaped you and helping your system reset. For Couples: You may love each other — but feel stuck in painful cycles. Perhaps: *One of you pursues, the other withdraws. *Conflict escalates quickly. *Old wounds keep resurfacing. *Trust feels fragile. *Communication skills alone haven’t solved the problem. In our work together, we will: *Identify the negative interaction cycle keeping you stuck *Slow down reactive patterns *Rebuild emotional safety *Strengthen attachment and connection *Learn how to repair conflict instead of repeating it Couples therapy isn’t about deciding who’s right. It’s about creating a relationship where both of you feel seen, heard, and secure. My Approach I am Dr. Kimberly Zammitt, a licensed independent clinical social worker specializing in trauma and attachment-based individual and couples work. Clients often describe my style as: *Warm and grounded *Direct but compassionate *Insightful and practical *Structured without being rigid I integrate: *EMDR *Attachment-based therapy *Trauma-informed nervous system work *Evidence-based couples therapy- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method Together, we look beneath surface behaviors to the emotional and relational patterns driving them — and we work toward meaningful, lasting change. What to Expect Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. Here’s what the process looks like: 1. Initial Consultation We begin with a brief phone consultation to determine fit and discuss your goals. 2. First Session We explore what brings you in and identify patterns and priorities. 3. Collaborative Work We move at a pace that feels both safe and productive — targeting root issues, not just symptoms. You are always part of the process. Therapy is collaborative. I am not credentialed with insurance providers and would be considered out-of-network. I encourage prospective clients to contact their insurance company to request information in writing about what coverage they have for out-of-network benefits. You will pay for your sessions on the day of your appointment and will be given an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many clients have found that due to high deductibles with their insurance plans, they will need to pay out of pocket for much, if not all, of their counseling services and find benefit in working with someone whom they feel is a good fit for them, rather than who their plan dictates.
