Mental Health Services for Individuals, Couples, & Families

---

Depression, anxiety, and troubling changes in mood are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at different stages in our lives. Understanding the causes of these feelings can be challenging. At Compass Counseling and Wellness, we offer therapy and wellness solutions to help you pinpoint the underlying causes, gain perspective, recover motivation, and find a healthy balance in your life. Additionally, our couples therapy in Poughkeepsie is designed to support partnerships in navigating these emotional challenges together.

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful transitions, struggles within relationships, and coping with strong emotions or traumatic circumstances. At Compass Counseling and Wellness, we can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of developing skills, overcoming grief, and healing. With a focus on counseling and wellness practices, our approach ensures that you can navigate these challenges effectively. Whether you are seeking couples therapy in Poughkeepsie or looking for tools to enhance your emotional wellness, we are here to support you on your journey.

At Compass Counseling and Wellness, our clinicians are trained and certified in evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other informed treatment options. We thoughtfully integrate these proven methods with holistic supports through certifications in Holistic Health Coaching, Doula services, and Lactation Consultation. This allows us to provide comprehensive, whole-person care for individuals, couples, families, and parents at every stage of life — supporting emotional wellness, resilience, and lasting growth.

At Compass Counseling and Wellness, we provide more than just psychotherapy; we offer Emotional Balance, a trauma-informed process available in both group and individual settings. This approach utilizes gentle fascia-release, breathwork, and mindful mobility to facilitate physical and emotional healing. It is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with PTSD/CPTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, pain, postpartum recovery, or nervous system dysregulation. Rather than focusing on fitness, movement serves as a vital tool for trauma processing, immune support, and restoring balance in both body and mind—all within a safe and inclusive environment. Our goal is to help you embrace your healing journey, ensuring you find your wellness compass.

At Compass Counseling & Wellness, we offer both telehealth services for New York and Connecticut residents and in-person sessions in Poughkeepsie, New York. Our office setting is specifically designed to offer comfort and a relaxing atmosphere, allowing clients to enjoy a hot beverage, listen to ambient music, and view the installations of local artists.  Utilizing HIPAA-compliant software also provides a sense of safety and honors our commitment to clients who require telehealth options for treatment. 

At Compass Counseling & Wellness, our licensed therapists offer compassionate, personalized care across every age and stage of life. We support children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families with specialties in anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity, family systems, and more. We take the time to thoughtfully match you with a therapist who feels like the right fit for your journey toward healing and growth.
