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.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I also focus on women’s issues, professional burnout, navigating major life transitions, and the art of setting healthy boundaries. I provide a professional, evidence-based approach that remains focused on you as a person.
With over 30 years of experience, I will help you focus on solutions and strengths, create attainable goals and a personalized road map to success. I seek to empower people who aspire to untangle the complexities of their lives. You’re not alone. Get unstuck, to thrive and create a life you love.

Hola. Bem-vinda! I am originally from Brazil and have been living in the United States for 40 years which means I understand, deeply, what it means to carry more than one world inside you. I hold a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from John Carroll University and have been in private practice since 2010. In that time, I have had the privilege of working with adults from their twenties through their nineties, walking alongside them through anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and grief and loss. I conduct sessions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, whichever language lets you speak most honestly.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Cincinnati
Searching for couples therapists in Cincinnati starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling may support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. As you compare Cincinnati marriage counselors, look for therapists with training that matches your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, may be strong fits for relationship-focused care.
In a mid-size market like Cincinnati, you may find local therapists with offices near areas like downtown, Clifton, Hyde Park, or surrounding neighborhoods, along with virtual options across Ohio. The right match also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, preferences, and goals. Review appointment availability, session format, therapy approach, and whether a therapist offers a brief phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their work with couples and what a first session may look like.
Couples therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check whether your plan is accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can browse couples therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
