Robert Compton

Robert Compton, MA, LLP, is pleased to leverage his over 30 years of experience working with adults and families to assist individuals in improving compassionate self-acceptance, strengthening self-worth, developing mindfulness, and managing feelings of inadequacy that underlie relationship issues, behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder concerns. The origin of many of these concerns can be found stemming from unresolved trauma, chronic invalidation, and adverse childhood experiences. Robert’s service areas of interest are largely guided by cognitive behavioral therapy principles but often incorporate aspects of mindfulness and Humanistic psychology theory. Robert also can use Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) for the resolution of posttraumatic stress disorder. Research has shown participants in PE typically alleviate their symptoms in 8 to 15 sessions. Robert can also assist in Divorce Recovery and Career Counseling. He also holds a certification in Christian Pastoral Counseling.
