Evette Nachtigal, M.S, ALC

Hi, I’m Evette Nachtigal, ALC — a dedicated mental health counselor and the founder of Compass Counseling Services. I help individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, purpose, and compassion.

In addition to my work as a counselor, I am a full-time federal employee, which gives me a unique understanding of the demands, stressors, and culture of government life. I’m deeply familiar with the complexities of federal careers, security clearances, and the emotional toll of high-responsibility roles. I also work closely with individuals connected to the military and defense communities, and I understand the unique needs that come with those identities.

My counseling approach is warm, practical, and rooted in evidence-based care. I specialize in working with professionals, parents, and high-achieving individuals facing anxiety, trauma, burnout, postpartum transitions, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a grounded, supportive space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and chart a healthier path forward.

Supervised by Jay Byham, LPC-S, I’m committed to ethical, trauma-informed, and client-centered care.
