Welcome to Steady Compass Counseling Services — a compassionate, inclusive mental health practice where healing begins with connection. Our team of licensed therapists brings diverse backgrounds, specialized expertise, and a shared commitment to providing personalized, trauma-informed care.

At Steady Compass, we believe that mental health support should honor each person’s lived experience. Our clinicians offer a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs — from animal-assisted psychotherapy to culturally responsive care — helping you navigate anxiety, grief, life transitions, identity, and more with clarity and confidence.

Whether you're a pet professional coping with burnout, an adult woman living with ADHD, a caregiver, or someone seeking culturally attuned support, our team is here to walk alongside you. We offer in-person therapy in New York and Connecticut, as well as virtual sessions across multiple states, to make care more accessible. Each therapist at Steady Compass is dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

You can schedule a direct consultation with any one of our clinicians to find the best fit for your needs. Please take some time to get to know our team below to determine who might be a good fit for you!
