Spotlight on Inner Compass: Guiding You Through Life’s Transitions

We’re thrilled to welcome Melissa, founder of Inner Compass, to our community at Darwin’s Desk! As a licensed therapist with expertise in navigating religious trauma and faith transitions, Melissa specializes in helping individuals, couples, families, and teens reconnect with their “True North.” Through her compassionate and deeply personalized approach, she guides clients on a path of healing, authenticity, and self-trust.

Inner Compass offers a distinctive approach to therapy that prioritizes a collaborative, client-led process. Melissa understands the unique challenges that accompany leaving high-control religions, and her practice empowers individuals to rediscover their own inner guidance. At Inner Compass, the therapeutic journey is more than just symptom management—it’s a holistic exploration of each person’s story, strengths, and goals.

Clients working with Melissa can access powerful modalities, including EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Each approach is tailored to foster mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-leadership. Clients at Inner Compass are supported every step of the way as they navigate life’s most challenging transitions.

We’re proud to have Melissa as part of Darwin’s Desk, where her work aligns perfectly with our vision of creating spaces that evolve alongside their members. Her presence enriches our community, offering meaningful support to those on their own unique journeys.
