Compass Rose Counseling & Consultation, LLC — Psychotherapist in Washington, DC

I'm super grateful to have found Alexandra Fox -- she was an incredibly empathetic and supportive therapist who helped me through a time of uncertainty and transition. Her extraordinarily authentic and open-minded approach helped me feel safe to talk through a wide spectrum of life challenges in our sessions. I'm especially appreciative of her mindfulness, care, positivity, and realness. Thank you Alexandra!

Alexandra Fox was a great therapist for me. I was going through a massive transition and hoping to do it smoothly without massive hiccups. She helped me land the plane and guided me to a place where I felt more secure and confident and achieved my goals. Highly reccomend.

Working with Christian has been transformative in helping me navigate a significant life transition. His thoughtful approach goes beyond surface-level guidance – he has this wonderful ability to help connect the dots across different layers of challenges, always keeping me focused on meaningful progress. What sets Christian apart is how he doesn't just identify issues, but actively helps develop practical tools for managing them. His flexibility with scheduling has been invaluable, especially while I've been living abroad for the past couple of years. It's rare to find a therapist who can maintain such consistent, high-quality support across time zones, but Christian makes it feel effortless.

I started therapy with Christian to address general anxiety, and over the past 2.5 years, his insights and support have been invaluable. Christian has a unique way of balancing hope with realism, helping me navigate the good and bad that comes in life. His thoughtful, compassionate approach has allowed me to make real progress, and I always feel heard and understood. One thing I truly appreciate is his flexibility with scheduling—whether it's late at night or on weekends, he always makes time no matter what my schedule might look like.

Christian is the best therapist that I've worked with over the years and I am very thankful that he helped me get through some of the most challenging times of my life. I started working with him after going through 3 prior therapists. Christian was the best at being able to quickly identify what I was going through, explain it to me clearly and consisely, identify strategies to handle the situation, and then support me as I process and got past my issues. He had his hands full with my family dynamics, personal relationship, and toxic working situation. It's because of him that I'm in a much better place today than I was when I started with him. I'm healthier, happier, and able to handle the stress and anxiety in a much better way.

I started working with Christian almost 2 years ago and I can honestly say that it has been a life changing experience. He has helped me to achieve both a better understanding of and an appreciation for who I am as a person and helped me work through the trauma of growing up gay in an extremely religious and unwelcoming household. Doing the work on my inherent self worth and value hasn’t always been easy or fun, but it has been the greatest gift I’ve ever received. Through it all, Christian has shown unwavering care, support, good humor, flexibility and dedication over the years and I cannot recommend him more highly as a therapist.

Working with Christian at Compass Rose Counseling has indeed been a successful journey. Christian has coached me through all of the ups and downs of life over the past two years and has shown me that therapy and talking through life's challenges can really make a difference. He listens intently and carefully, provides helpful feedback, and challenges me each and every session. He and his practice are the best of the best, and I highly recommend them.

When my mom passed away unexpectedly, I knew I needed help processing my grief. Anyone that has looked for a therapist in DC knows that it is no small feat to find one in-network. Luckily, Compass Rose Counseling accepted my insurance and onboarding me was a simple process. Christian has been kind, compassionate, and extremely thoughtful as we have worked together through my grief. Having no prior experience with therapy, Christian immediately made me comfortable with the process and has helped me to improve immensely in several other areas of my life over the past year and a half. I know I can count on him to work with me through any issue, big or small. As a bonus, Christian is also incredibly flexible when it comes to holding therapy sessions around my hectic work schedule. If you're in the market for a great therapist, especially if you're a first-timer like I was, I can't recommend Christian and Compass Rose Counseling enough.

Working with Christian at Compass Rose changed my perspective of what therapy could be. Christian was the first therapist I’ve worked with as an adult, and he was patient with me as I got used to opening up and communicating my feelings, desires, issues, and struggles. Compass Rose provides services everyone can benefit from. I improved my relationship with family members while working with Compass Rose and gained confidence in my ability to manage my emotions. I recommend the services at Compass Rose to anyone who is looking for a flexible therapist who takes the time to learn your personal history and provide a comfortable environment for you to work on yourself!

I have tried counseling to help with anger management and anxiety several times before and it didn't work out so well. Compass Rose is different. I work with Christian who possesses the willingness to establish an alliance with his clients. I wanted a therapist who can instill in me some sort of inspiration of hope and optimism about my chances of improvement. Christian is very effective at striking a balance between realism and hope. Coming into therapy I had just gotten out of a relationship. I was depressed and my anxiety was through the roof. I really wanted my relationship back and I knew I had to make some changes within myself. I am now 4 months into therapy with Compass Rose and I have changed dramatically. I have since got back with my partner and things are going so much better. I highly recommend these folks! They are very flexible (they even offer sessions on Saturday and Sundays and the late evenings during the week).
