We support clients navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity shifts.
A space to feel understood, supported, and gently guided forward—at your own pace.
Welcome to Compass Therapy and Consulting PLLC
A virtual therapy practice serving adults across Illinois.
At Compass, therapy is not about fixing you—it’s about understanding you.
We take a compassionate, relational approach to help you make sense of your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with intention.
You might be here because…
You’ve been the strong one for a long time—and you’re tired
Something in your life shifted, and you don’t feel like yourself anymore
You’re holding grief, stress, or anxiety that others don’t fully see
You want support, but you’re not sure where to start
You’re used to taking care of everyone else—and don’t know how to take care of yourself
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Our approach
At Compass Therapy and Consulting, we take a thoughtful, relational, and trauma-informed approach to care.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Your experiences, your story, and your pace matter.
Our work together may include:
Understanding how past experiences shape your present
Exploring patterns in relationships, stress, and self-expectations
Building tools for emotional regulation, clarity, and self-trust
Creating space for both insight and meaningful change
This is a space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to reconnect with yourself in a way that feels steady and sustainable.
AREAS OF FOCUS
We support individuals navigating:
Anxiety & Overwhelm
Feeling constantly “on,” overextended, or unable to rest
Trauma & PTSD
Working through past experiences that continue to impact your present
Grief & Loss
Including losses that others may not fully understand
Life Transitions
Changes in identity, roles, relationships, or direction
Relationships
Patterns, communication, and connection with others
