Some guy once said: “Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s being afraid & doing it anyway.” Hi! I'm Alison. :) I’m a licensed therapist. I’ve also been in therapy myself on & off for over 20 years & experienced the life-changing benefits firsthand. I understand what it’s like to question your identity & self-worth. Like you, I'd developed survival skills that at one point seemed to help protect me & navigate the world. But over time it became clear they were holding me back, getting in my way, & harming me.

Are you looking for someone to guide, support, and assist you in your life's journey? If so, I'm the therapist you've been looking for! I'm passionate about helping and I see counseling as an opportunity for us to work together on overcoming obstacles to help you reach your goals. I specialize in several different treatment modalities and tend to use a combination of techniques to match your unique wants and needs. Please email deb@compasscounselingandassociates.com to schedule an initial consultation.

Life can be hard. Much like our physical health, our mental, emotional and spiritual health are vulnerable to stress. I'm trained to develop collaborative relationships built on trust and mutual respect to assist you in living a happier, more satisfying life. Combining your strengths with my skill and support, we'll nurture understanding and insight of self, and assist in creating new solutions and coping skills. I work well helping people with trauma, anxiety, panic, grief, depression, marriage and relationship stress, spiritual concerns, and adjusting to life transitions.

I view persons as made up of emotions, thoughts, relationships, biology, and our spiritual selves. Consequently, I first help you stabilize by making necessary changes in behavior. Medical or neurological contributions and possible nutritional deficiencies are examined. I address any distorted thinking that is contributing to your emotional pain. If systems in your life (family, work, school) are a factor, they are also addressed. Finally, we work with the larger questions of existence (spiritual issues, issues of purpose/ meaning), which are all vital to mental health. All areas are dealt with from a solid grounding in scientific literature and research.

Hi, I am Janina, owner and director of Strouse Counseling and Wellness, LLC. In my practice, we support people in processing anxiety, depression, traumatic events as well as stress-related issues, such as work, school, interpersonal problems ( e.g. peer and family relationships, co-dependency). When coming to therapy, you can expect a client-focused environment, assessment, support and effective treatment. It isn't always easy to make that first phone call or send that email, but a lot of progress can be made when we allow ourselves to utilize support.

People need different things in their lives and when they come to therapy they can expect a calm, quiet atmosphere and a place where they can express themselves in ways that they may have never felt safe enough to do so. There are so many challenges in life and individuals should take pride in recognizing that it takes strength to reach out for guidance.

I joined Strouse Counseling and Wellness LLC in April 2021. I specialize in counseling for children, adolescents, and young adults. In my life and in my work I have engaged in and witnessed the power of spontaneous, authentic, creative self-expression and the releasing of emotions and past experiences through the Expressive Arts as a way to grow and heal. I have been inspired to invite you to experience the transformative and healing magic of the Expressive Arts.

I joined Strouse Counseling and Wellness LLC to support adolescents and adults in developing a sense of self and gain insights in their struggles. I support clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-medication as well as needing to process trauma. I support clients in expressing themselves in a non-judgmental environment and help identify coping skills.
