About Me

Hi! I’m Kim Jozwiak. Thanks for stopping by.

I help people become more connected to their unique and authentic selves through person-centered collaboration that assists in the discovery of inner strength and resources. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional,  I continue to research and practice evidence-based trauma treatments and interventions which include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness training, cognitive restructuring and equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP). I am EMDR certified to assist individuals in building up their own inner resources to resolve trauma related symptoms like anxiety, depression, dissociation and flashbacks. I also partner with area experts and organizations to offer EAP.

​What does working with horses look like? I offer 2 hour intensives for engaging the client with the relational nature of horses in processing emotional and psychological pain. This experiential way restructures neural networks, impacting the nervous system to strengthen internal resiliency. I have both EAGALA and Natural Lifemanship training that continues to support the amazing work I get to both witness and hold space for clients.

Allow me to support you in your very important work in identifying negative beliefs and dysfunctional patterns of behavior that block you from living your best life. Isn’t it time to make sense of your past and create more of what you would like to see for yourself? Professional counseling can be one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

What Does Working with Horses Look Like?

Engaging with horses offers a holistic and transformative experience that integrates mind, body, and spirit. This modality taps into a multisensory engagement—touch, smell, sight, and sound—that enhances self-awareness and presence. Horses communicate through body language, providing a unique opportunity for participants to explore non-verbal interactions and gain insights into their own reactions and emotions.

Working with horses can help individuals develop a deeper sense of awareness and connection, both with the animals and with themselves. This heightened awareness is not just about observing but actively responding to the subtle cues and needs of the horse, which can facilitate connection to one’s own internal states. As participants develop a connection to self and other, healing of relational wounds occur.

In therapeutic settings, this interaction can support neuroplasticity and optimize cognitive function by encouraging participants to develop attentiveness, mindfulness, and new thought processes. The dynamic nature of working with horses—requiring real-time adjustments and empathetic responses—promotes a rich environment for personal growth and healing.
