For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

The essence of healing first starts with acknowledging that there is something that needs to be worked on. I commend you for taking the necessary steps to start on this journey. The thought of counseling can be intimidating but there is much to be said about a person who seeks out healing and growth. You have the power to change your life’s narrative. I am here to support you. I am unbiased, non-judgmental, and genuine in how I approach therapy with my clients. I am accepting and realize that everyone has a life story and I am here to navigate that with you in the best way possible.

The Compassion Practice is a Manhattan-based private practice and training center. We strive to meet our clients’ needs through a combination of evidence-based practices, careful client-therapist matching, and a genuine human connection.

My passion is to help aid my clients in identifying who they are, where they are, and where they are wanting to get too. I work to help resolve conflict individually, in families, and/or in relationships. Each client’s story and the journey are specific to them so my goal is to shape treatment to the specific needs of each person. We will work through the difficult moments, learn skills to aid in independence, and become comfortable enough to reach out for support when something is not working. Breaking patterns and creating new ones based off the person/family/couple you strive to be is the goal of each session. I am a LPC and a Certified Anger Management Specialist II. I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology, and a 2nd Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling and Sex therapy. I have extensive training in Anger management, mood disorders (anxiety/depression), family systems, ABA, , infertility, and many more. I’m always working to keep myself well-educated and eclectic. My mission is to meet each client where they are. I understand that life gives each person their own battles but I stand firm in not having to face the battle alone. Knowing there are people out there ready to help you without judgment is what drove me to be a therapist. I am that person and I can be that person for you.

Hello! Welcome! My name is Britton. I am a licensed counselor who studied counseling and art therapy. I have many years of experience working with children and families through social work, education and now counseling. I love using art in therapy as a way to delve deeper into the challenges individuals face on a daily basis. Art can often bring another level of communication that so often can be hard to verbalize. I operate from a client-centered approach, meeting the client where they are and then creating an individualized treatment plan to target challenges. 

NOPE. Not doing it anymore… after going through the usual motions of your everyday routine, you decided that you deserve more! You deserve to be free from the wounds of your past and to live a life of contentment. Unfortunately, “healing” isn’t always sunshine and rainbows; rather, it’s our choosing to dance in the downpour. And grow our flowers in the rain (actually, that one was a joke… I can barely keep a succulent alive – true story – but you get the idea!) You’ve decided that you are ready to heal the wounds of your past. Great! But now what? HOW do I do that? Well, there are many ways to begin healing. Some include healing in a physical sense (known as somatic healing), others emphasize mental and emotional healing, and some focus on spiritual healing. While I collaborate with clients to create a plan that works best for their goals, I work from the philosophy that an integrative approach (healing that encompasses mind, body, and spirit) provides the best opportunity for root-level healing. Providing my services via telehealth, I (virtually) come to you to provide encouragement and support for this process to occur. With that being said, I am only an assistant in this journey… you guide this process, at your pace, and in the direction you desire. I am equipped with various tools, knowledge, and therapeutic types/approaches (such as EMDR Therapy – yes, the eye movement thing) that can be individualized to meet your needs! My goal, as your counselor, is to assist in your growth and healing. There will be moments of mountain-conquered success, frustration in the valleys, and rocky bumps along the way, but what matters most is the intentional, daily desire to continue on this healing journey… regardless of the terrain. I have my hiking boots on and am ready to walk with you, whenever you are ready. I am looking forward to connecting with you soon! :)

Hi, I am Dominique (Dom) Proctor. I am a licensed social worker and have experience providing therapeutic services to children, teens, and adults. I offer both individual and couples counseling. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Ohio University in 2020m and worked as a case manager and bachelor’s level therapist. I then attended Indiana Wesleyan University, where I earned my Master of Social Work. Man has been avoiding the consequences of our choices since the beginning. Human beings attempted to cover up their own mistakes and faults by human effort alone. Whether it is AA meetings, self-help programs, or other means of recovery, most of these programs only touch one aspect of a person. A person is made up of mind, body, and soul. Therefore, we need healing for all three elements of a person, not just one. I enjoy working with people to help heal these facets and make progress toward recovery. When helping individuals with their therapeutic goals, I pull from several different modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I also offer Christian counseling services to those seeking the incorporation of their faith into treatment. I enjoy helping those who have been hurt by the church. I work as an inpatient therapist at SUN Behavioral in Columbus, Ohio, and as an outpatient therapist. In addition, I am part of the NACSW ( North American Association of Christians in Social Work) and the BLEXIT movement.

You don’t have to face your struggles alone; I’m here to walk this path with you, helping you unlock your full potential and achieve the peace and happiness you deserve. Your well-being is my priority, and I’m excited to embark on this therapeutic journey together. Please email or call to schedule your next session today.
