About
If you need coping skills for when you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain, let's talk. Whether it's a specific situation (new baby, relationship problems, grief) or just a general feeling of unhappiness, we're experts at helping you create a plan for feeling more like yourself. Past clients have commented that they feel comforted and heard in our office, that we help them see things they never realized before, and that visiting our place is even like going on vacation! We don't label you... we listen and customize your therapy to who you are. We'll help you move towards your healthy future. Unlike your friends & family, we're able to listen objectively without judgement. Let us show you the strengths already inside you, and allow us to teach you new skills for coping and growing. We can get to the root of the problem together and create a manageable action plan of solutions, while helping you learn about yourself. We offer online booking 24/7, because who wants to make a phone call? Visit www.ThoughtfulJourneyCounseling.com to book. Emergencies - If you have thoughts of harming yourself or others: Please seek immediate assistance by calling or texting 988. Specialties: When your strong emotions produce physical symptoms (stomach issues, racing heart, sleep issues), we teach you how to manage life's demands in a realistic way while also nurturing you as you care for your body and mind. We talk about your past, your relationships, and your family to help you see patterns. We're completely in your corner, offering a safe place to be cared for without judgement. Credentials & Experience: We have experienced therapists available to work with you at your convenience, whether online or in person. Ashley and Kaitlyn are is two of the few EMDR therapists in the area. EMDR therapy is proven highly effective in trauma, anxiety, substance use, and more.
"We tailor your counseling plan to your comfort level and make recommendations from our toolbox of DBT, CBT, and EMDR training.

EMDR is useful for reducing serious anxiety about certain memories or trauma."
