About

Compass Therapy

Compass Therapy, with offices in Newport Beach, West LA, and Claremont is…

an evidence-based mental health practice rooted in science and empathy, with expert leadership/supervision by Jessica Borelli, PhD and Erika Nurmi, MD, PhD.

We work as a team to support individuals, couples, and families with psychotherapy (individual, family, couple and group) and medication management.

We will be announcing new psychiatrists covering all major psychiatric specialties over the coming year (child & adolescent, addiction, geriatric, forensics and consult-liaison).

Please refer to our team! You may find a specific provider, ask for a specific expertise or language fluency (Spanish, Mandarin, Farsi, & Korean available), or describe a case and our directors will determine the best fit.

Our Approach:

Guided by science: Our clinicians utilize evidence-based techniques to guide their approaches to their work with each client. In addition, our clinicians are scientists and innovators themselves, contributing to the discourse within their fields, developing new programs to help clients grow, and working to help improve their communities. Check out our News page to find out the latest about what our clinicians are doing outside Compass Therapy. 

Guided by empathy: Deeply caring, our therapists go the extra mile for our clients. We believe that without this ingredient, therapeutic growth cannot occur. Our therapists vow to stand beside you as take this step in your journey.


Guided by experience: Rest assured that at Compass Therapy, you will find clinicians with the highest quality training. Our team includes therapists who come from diverse clinical and academic backgrounds and who specialize in several different treatment modalities. We offer a breadth of psychological services. Our practitioners are also committed to continual growth throughout their careers, seeking out trainings to add new skills to their repertoire.

 We need to live in mindful harmony with our feelings,

not attempt to control them.
