“I find it hard to imagine trying to navigate life without someone willing to travel beyond the surface of behavior and emotion with me.” -Doreen L. Upshaw
Hello my name is Doreen and welcome to the independent services page for Compass Counseling & Support Services (CCSS)!
I’ve been talking to people intimately for most of my life. I take very seriously the things that people experience and feel below the surface of their being, the places we can’t see. Why? Because that’s where the healing begins. Healing doesn’t happen on its own, you have to give it a voice. You have to speak it out loud and there’s no better way to do that than with a trusted, honest, caring and understanding person who will listen. Which is exactly why I created CCSS.
I love people and I wanted to be more than a listener. I wanted to have professional resources and tools that would best serve those entrusted to speak with me, as they processed through life. I know first hand how comforting it can be to have someone there to listen and help you navigate through those tough life circumstances.
I’d be honored to talk with you about scheduling a low cost counseling intake consultation through CCSS. My areas of confidential counseling concentration are: individual, marriage, family, and children Play and Art Therapy (Adults can also participate in Art Therapy).
It is also my passion to see fathers reconnected to their children, so our services and resources: Fathers Matter (Social Media page), our bi-monthly Father Forum, and INvolved (Fatherhood support program) are here to help them in their pursuit.
In 2020 CCSS was forced to move to tele-health therapy at the wake of the pandemic. With play, art, and gaming therapy as our main concentrations, CCSS lost more than 60% of it’s clientele, as our main mode of therapy was unable to be preformed via tele-health. This prompted a dream that has come to life as, CCSS-Mobile. CCSS-Mobile is a patent pending “system for providing mobile mental health therapy and counseling services comprising a motor vehicle comprising: a driver area and a rear area for providing mental health therapy and counseling services; the rear area comprising a plurality of areas for providing a variety of mental health therapy and counseling services.” (,836 – original filing 05/25/2021). We have officially launched the service! Please visit our “services” for more information.
At Compass Counseling and Support Services, we believe everything you need inside you, all you need is someone to encourage and support you as you set goals and move toward them.
Let us help you navigate life.
Thank you for stopping by.
