About us

A Personal Vision: Therapy Born from Understanding Your Journey

Compassion Works exists because we believe in your power to change your world by changing yourself. Founder Shanna Drury, LPC, knows firsthand the courage it takes to overcome adversity. Her journey through challenging personal experiences and her own healing process ignited an unshakeable conviction: that one person truly can change their entire family lineage, ending cycles of trauma, anxiety, and dysfunctional patterns that may have impacted you for years.

This practice is built on authentic empathy, born from deep understanding. We believe you are the expert in your own life, and our passion is to help you transform. When you're ready to tackle your traumas, manage your ADHD, resolve couples conflicts, break free from codependency, or find peace from chronic stress & anxiety, know that we are here, 'fired up' and ready to guide you. Every tear you cry today, is a tear your children won't have to tomorrow.

Our mission

Our Core Mission: Breaking Cycles, Empowering Your Future

At Compassion Works, our primary mission is clear: to cease generational trauma from being passed down to future generations. This means helping you heal from past wounds, develop resilience, and build healthier relationships, creating a ripple effect of peace and well-being for your family's future. Our purpose is deeply connected to your potential for profound, lasting transformation.

How We Help You Heal

More Than Talk: A Whole-Person Approach for Deeper Healing

If traditional therapy hasn't fully resonated with you, or you're seeking a more integrated approach, you've found the right place. We go beyond just talking, believing your body speaks a language all its own – especially when it comes to trauma, anxiety, and stress. Our therapists pay close attention to your body's responses, emotional shifts, and innate wisdom, guiding you toward a whole-person healing experience tailored to your specific needs.

Authentic Empathy

We understand your struggles with PTSD, codependency, or chronic stress because we are also committed to our own healing journeys. You'll find a profoundly non-judgmental space.

"Shanna was professional, understanding and knowledgeable on everything I discussed with her.  I felt more relaxed getting to talk to someone who is not from a large corporation who is just looking to make a paycheck. It’s a small business and it is well worth it! I felt welcomed, encouraged to speak on my feelings and more than anything, I felt that I was heard."
