Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Your therapist begins by understanding what is happening, then considers useful goals and appropriate evidence-based care. Depending on your clinician and needs, sessions may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, or other approaches.

Finding the right therapist can feel personal. Your concerns, preferences, and goals guide the matching conversation before your first appointment.
“So grateful that we met with Kenedy. My daughter's openness with us has improved so much. We are grateful that our relationship with our daughter has improved and that we are now able to communicate better together.”
Sarah B.
Compass client
“This doesn't feel like counseling. It feels more like a conversation about me. I don't get to have conversations about myself very often, so I was able to take my time, figure some things out, and move more confidently into my work life and family life while understanding more about who I am and my unique needs.”
