Professional statement

Tyler Gordon, founder of Compass Counseling, brings a deeply personal understanding of substance abuse and addiction recovery to his work. After numerous unsuccessful treatment attempts, he achieved a transformative breakthrough and has maintained sobriety for over 16 years. This lived experience, combined with extensive mental health education, professional roles with leading recovery management organizations, and an unwavering commitment to supporting others, forms the cornerstone of Compass Counseling. Under Tyler’s leadership, a dedicated team of counselors and recovery specialists delivers compassionate, effective services—including intervention, case management, family preparation, assessment, coordination, and therapy—to guide individuals toward lasting sobriety from mind-altering substances.

Recognizing the profound challenges families face when a loved one struggles with addiction, Compass Counseling also specializes in addressing co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Through a range of evidence-based therapies, the team supports individuals, couples, and families in achieving healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Compass Counseling is guided by three core principles: rapid response, empathy, and partnership. Rapid response ensures that every phone call and email receives a prompt reply. Empathy drives the team to build trust and rapport swiftly, fostering an environment where clients feel understood and supported throughout their recovery journey. Finally, partnership empowers clients to take ownership of their healing process, collaborating with the team to create a personalized, sustainable path to growth and resilience. At Compass Counseling, the mission is clear: to help families and their loved ones reclaim hope and build brighter futures. This version tightens the phrasing, eliminates repetition, and emphasizes Tyler’s expertise and the organization’s values in a polished, professional way. Let me know if you’d like further adjustments!


Message to clients

I am so honored to be able to work with people who voluntarily want to change their situation toward better mental health. It can be very difficult to talk about difficult pasts and I encourage you to begin to "treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping" (Jordan Peterson).

Therapy is designed to create a space for people to be who they are without judgment and it is my goal to help you understand yourself better and learn the skills to improve your life.

If you or a loved one needs help with addiction recovery, depression, anxiety or trauma, contact Compass Counseling today for prompt attention

and a complimentary 15-minute session with a licensed counselor.
