Brittney Schultz Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MAC, BSP, LPC
Brainspotting suggests that the brain can heal itself from inside. It aims to stimulate the brain’s healing ability by evoking and releasing the negative emotions and experiences that have been stored in it. It does this by identifying an eye position that triggers and releases these emotions.
Brainspotting works with the deep brain and the body through its direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems within the body’s central nervous system.
**Offering crisis counseling and supports for first responders, front line workers and victims of tragedies!

Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Trauma and PTSD can impact every part of life, how safe you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how you interpret everyday experiences. Symptoms may show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting, intrusive memories, or feeling disconnected from yourself. In trauma work, my priority is creating a safe and supportive environment where healing does not feel rushed or overwhelming. We begin by building emotional regulation skills and stability, so clients feel more grounded before moving into deeper processing work. I recognize that trauma is not just something that is “talked about,” but something that is also held in the body and nervous system.
I am trained in Brainspotting and use this approach to help clients access and process traumatic experiences that may be difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy alone. Brainspotting supports the brain’s natural capacity to process and release stored trauma in a focused, contained, and client-led way. This allows healing to unfold at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Alongside trauma processing, I integrate CBT and DBT-informed skills to support coping, emotional regulation, and present-day functioning. This combination helps clients not only process the past, but also feel more stable and empowered in their daily lives. For clients who desire it, Christian counseling can also be incorporated, offering a space where faith, hope, and spiritual grounding can support the healing journey. I believe that restoration is possible, even after deeply painful experiences. My goal is to help clients move from survival mode into a place of greater safety, connection, and internal steadiness—where the past no longer holds the same level of control over the present.

Kimberly Zacher
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, SAC
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the body, mind, and nervous system, affecting how you feel, relate, and respond to the world around you. Post-traumatic stress may involve flashbacks, anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty feeling safe. I provide a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to help you process what happened without retraumatization. Using modalities such as EMDR, somatic therapy, sensorimotor treatment, and parts work, we focus on restoring a sense of safety, connection, and control. Healing from trauma is possible, and you do not have to go through it alone.

At Pathways To Connection, we utilize a variety of treatment modalities to address trauma and PTSD symptoms. Based on a trauma informed perspective, we recognize that how events in our lives affect us is individual and personal. It is not the same for everyone. We can't control what might be traumatic for us and it often doesn't feel like it makes any sense. We are here to help find a space that offers you more space and comfort.
