Great to meet you!

I’m Kendra Compton, a dedicated social worker with over 30 years of experience empowering individuals and families to thrive. My journey began with a heartfelt desire to make a positive impact in the lives of children and adults alike. Over the decades, I’ve honed my skills as a relationship-oriented therapist who truly believes in the healing power of genuine human connection. I blend evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a warm, compassionate style. My approach is always:

  • Person-Centered – I meet each client where they are, honoring their unique strengths and experiences.
  • Relationship-Focused – I believe trust and rapport lay the groundwork for meaningful change.
  • Strengths-Based – I highlight what’s working well and build upon those successes.

Helping others bring me endless inspiration. Their courage, curiosity, and capacity for joy remind me daily why I chose this path. I grew up in a family of athletes and am an avid sports fan—whether participating, cheering from the sidelines (mostly my son) or watching a game on TV, I see sports as a powerful metaphor for teamwork, perseverance and personal growth. These values naturally weave into my therapeutic style, encouraging clients to set goals, lean on their support systems, and celebrate every milestone.

If you’re looking for a therapist who listens deeply, cares wholeheartedly, and partners with you every step of the way, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to help you and your family write the next chapter of your story—one defined by resilience, hope, and stronger connections.

Feel free to reach out, and let’s start this journey toward healing and growth together.

My approach to therapy

I have a direct, but warm and nurturing style. I've been told I have a humorous side and enjoy laughing with clients. I am a non-judgemental, relationship focused therapist and work collaboratively with my clients.

What you can expect from me

I want clients to feel comfortable so my goal for the first session is focused on getting to know you, likes dislikes, hobbies, etc. I try to create a safe, comfortable and non-judgemental environment. We will get to know each other, discuss wants, needs and goals for treatment.
