Evette Nachtigal, LPC, NCC
Counselor Serving Madison & the Huntsville Area
Hi there—I’m Evette, the founder of Compass Counseling Services, based in Madison and serving the greater Huntsville area.
I founded Compass Counseling Services to support underserved and often overlooked populations—particularly women navigating emotional and reproductive health challenges, as well as federal employees and professionals managing the demands of high-stress careers. My practice focuses on concerns that are frequently minimized, including pregnancy and postpartum transitions, infertility, identity shifts, chronic stress, and trauma.
Compass Counseling Services was intentionally created to move away from the pressure of “taking as many clients as possible” and toward a more thoughtful, individualized counseling experience. As a counselor in Madison and the Huntsville area, I believe effective therapy requires presence, discernment, and a strong therapeutic relationship—not rushed sessions or overextended providers. I am intentional about the clients I work with so that I can offer ethical, meaningful care.
My faith plays an important role in my work and informs the way I approach healing. I believe that God’s purpose for me is to walk alongside others—especially women—as they reconnect with their inner compass and begin the process of restoration, clarity, and growth.
When you are a client at Compass Counseling Services, you can expect a counselor who is grounded, attentive, and fully present. I strive to provide counseling that feels supportive, respectful, and aligned with your values and lived experience.
In addition to working with women, I also support men and couples on a case-by-case basis, particularly those navigating fatherhood, relational stress, emotional overwhelm, or professional burnout. My background as a federal employee gives me unique insight into the emotional load often carried by government professionals—individuals who serve others while quietly managing their own challenges.
Compass Counseling Services offers in-person counseling in Madison and the Huntsville, Alabama area, as well as secure telehealth counseling throughout the state of Alabama. Telehealth services are also available for clients located in Colorado, including the Denver area and surrounding communities.
At Compass Counseling Services, I believe healing begins when we slow down, reconnect with what matters most, and allow ourselves to be guided by our values, our faith, and the quiet wisdom within.
