Welcome to Compassionate Voice Counseling

Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults, Trauma and Burn Out

At Compassionate Voice, we offer therapy through an anti-oppressive intersectional lens. We recognize how identity, neurodivergence, environment, and systemic barriers shape your mental health. Whether you’re navigating burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism or questions around, identity, gender and sexuality, you deserve care that not only supports your healing but also honors and celebrates who you are.

Who We Are

Trauma-trained and anti-oppressive.
We understand that racism, ableism, heteronormativity, and other systems of oppression such as late stage capitalism shape how stress and trauma live in the body. Every clinician in our practice is trained in assessing for ADHD and Autism an in effective trauma modalities, including EMDR or Brainspotting, so your care is both socially aware and clinically grounded.

Compassion-focused experts.
Our work is rooted in evidence-based, somatic and compassion-focused approaches. We help you move out of chronic self-criticism and survival mode, and toward self-kindness, nervous-system regulation, and sustainable healing.

It’s time to show up for yourself.

Our Specialties

Trauma, Somatics, EMDR & Brainspotting

Your body remembers what your mind has tried to forget. We provide trauma focused care that honors your resilience and doesn’t rush your process. Using EMDR, Brainspotting and somatic strategies, we help you safely reprocess painful memories and build a future that feels lighter.

Neuro-Affirming Assessments & Therapy

Obsessive thoughts? Trouble focusing? Sensory Overwhelm? You’re not lazy, maybe you’re neurodivergent. We can help assess if you have ADHD, Autism or OCD. Then drawing on neurodiversity‑affirming practices, we help you leverage your unique brain to live with clarity and understanding of yourself on useful level.

Burnout & Compassion Fatigue

You care deeply, maybe a little too much. Burnout & Compassion Fatigue can creep in quietly until it feels like you're running on fumes. It can also be a pervasive pattern you feel like you can't escape. We help you reconnect with your needs, rebuild boundaries, and recover a sense of balance without guilt.

Anxiety & Depression

Overwhelmed? Numb? Stuck in your head? Whether it looks like constant overthinking or not being able to get out of bed, we meet you where you are. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we’ll help you shift from survival mode to something that feels more like peace.

Meet the Owner

Sabrina Basquez, LCSW, EMDR-C – Founder & Director of Compassionate Voice Counseling

At Compassionate Voice Counseling, our mission is to build a kind and sustainable therapy practice—one where both clinicians and clients can thrive. As the founder and director, I created this space to support therapists in showing up as their fullest selves so they, in turn, can offer meaningful, present-centered care to our clients.

My background as a therapist, supervisor, and former burned-out professional informs how I lead this practice. I’ve seen how helping professionals and neurodivergent adults can feel depleted by the very work that once inspired them. That’s why I center the well-being of our clinicians through systems that prioritize sustainable caseloads, collaborative support, and clinical integrity.

Compassionate Voice Counseling is not just a therapy practice, it’s a place where people who give so much of themselves can come to heal, recalibrate, and be genuinely seen. Whether you’re a client seeking care or a clinician looking for a nurturing place to grow, you’re welcome here.
