Are you ready to change your life, but feel like nothing you try ever works? Are you tired of feeling this way? Do you want lasting results? At Pathways Counseling KC we understand that true and lasting change needs to take place at the subconscious level. Anything else is simply putting a band-aid on a wound.

We work with individuals, couples, and families in the Kansas City area to provide support as you uncover the past, embrace the present, and pursue your best path forward.
We specialize in areas of trauma/complex trauma (PTSD/CPTSD), narcissistic abuse, relationships, anxiety, depression, and overall personal growth. Research proves that in order for real and lasting change to exist, it must take place at the subconscious level. PCKC offers a variety of long-lasting and results-oriented approaches to help you transform your life and relationships. Explore our website to see how we can help you find your path forward.

Professionally, I have advanced training and experience in treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and insomnia.

Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience helping clients make sustainable change for the better. With extensive training in motivational interviewing, I help clients explore and understand the impact behaviors like substance use, overeating, and others are having on their well-being, and guide them in making an individualized plan for change. Taking into account your life context and environment, we'll work together to address underlying issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression in order to reduce unwanted behaviors and develop coping strategies that work without causing their own problems.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I help people create more balance in their lives by learning when to pause, be present, and step out of the constant pressure of “what’s next.” Many individuals find themselves shaped by old patterns or past experiences that make it hard to move forward. My approach focuses on helping you ride the waves of life with greater resilience—navigating the unpredictable storms rather than feeling anchored in them. While we can’t prepare for every unexpected moment, we can build the tools and skills to manage whatever comes our way. Tides shift, storms pass, and calmer waters are possible.
I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. I tailor treatment to your preferences, goals, schedule, and life circumstances. I also offer structured, evidence‑based therapies when a more guided path is helpful. With over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, I bring both flexibility and clinical depth to the work we do together.
For more information, please visit my website. You’ll find a secure, private patient portal with built‑in video sessions, scheduling, communication, and payment options—all in one encrypted, easy‑to‑use platform, including a mobile app for added convenience.
