Kristie Pagel-Compagner, LMSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring 25 years of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with empathy and expertise.
I specialize in working with older adults, women, and young professionals experiencing mood disorders, social anxiety, relationship difficulties, and personal growth obstacles. My approach is deeply collaborative, focusing on building self-love, improving communication skills, and healing from past emotional wounds.
My therapeutic work honors each individual's unique journey, offering supportive guidance through issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment challenges, and personal transformation. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength.
