The Compassion Method™️ Certified

As Emotional Health Consultants, our main modality is that of The Compassion Method™️, a proven process that teaches you how to comfort emotional pain and discover your truest self. We have been personally trained under the founder, Laura Duncan, and deeply enjoy watching our clients find lasting peace through this methodology. The Compassion Method™️ can be best explained using three words:
 Awareness. Comfort. Discovery.

Trauma Informed Care

The basis of trauma informed care starts from the truth that you make perfect sense based on all that you have been through. It is not a question of “what is wrong with you?” but rather “what happened inside of you as a result of what happened to you?”. Whether you grew up in a war zone or just had normal everyday intrapersonal conflict, a trauma-informed approach offers a hopeful path forward no matter what you have been through. Trauma research in our time is filled with hope, and it is our goal to create a safe space for that hope to grow in each session.

Nervous System Focused

We believe trauma is held in the body and trauma is healed in the body. Using our ever growing knowledge of the Polyvagal Theory, we will work with you to start observing the connection between how you feel in your body and what your body and emotions are trying to tell you. In order to create healing in our minds, we first need to create safety in our nervous systems.

  • I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough. In just a few short months, she has equipped me with practical tools and assignments personally tailored to fit my own traumas and triggers. In my short time working with Marissa, I feel as though my healing journey has progressed more significantly than in four years of counseling elsewhere. Marissa is kind, loving, and truly embodies the Compassion Method.

  • I'm always apprehensive about seeking out counselors, therapists and what have you. It comes from a past experience that didn't go well for me. People in the past have made me feel broken. Not Marissa. After a few sessions with her, even my husband picked up on the overall change in my mood and behavior. After working with Marissa, I definitely feel like I'm in a better place emotionally and mentally, which is bleeding into the physical and spiritual side of things. I appreciate her guidance and the way she listens and really feels for you. I'm so happy and thankful someone directed me to her. I don't know where I'd be right now if it wasn't for her counseling.

  • I can hardly believe it’s been over a year and a half of me meeting with Marissa. Her wisdom and patience in guiding me through the Compassion Method has helped me in my healing process more than I can even say. She is so easy to talk with and truly has so much humility and joy. I am so grateful I found her.

  • It has been a great blessing working with Jeff Prentice in a mentor and discipleship role. At points when I was struggling most deeply with my own identity and worth, Jeff provided some important insights, and (more importantly) provided a vital friendship. He and his wife Marissa are awesome people to seek consulting services and personal relationships with.

  • Marissa has done an incredible job helping our kiddo to dig deeper, and has given her the tools to deal with her traumas and triggers.
