Compass Counseling is here to help you not only navigate your mental health journey, but to inspire you to discover new pathways towards healing and fulfillment.
Keri Braunberger, MS, LPC, LCPC, NCC, DQCS
I have always had a genuine passion for the heart of people and their healing. After over 13 years of different and exciting counseling experiences, most recently as a Better Help therapist, I decided to branch out independently to make quality therapy and specialized resources even more accessible.
I love working with all adults seeking genuine growth and development in the mental health space. I vow to partner with my clients navigating through any phase of life by providing unique tools and caring solutions to help you feel like you again.
After many years working in schools, I have developed a specialization in counseling and consulting with parents, especially parents of children with neurodiversity. Together we will work to help you find peace at home and develop a better understanding of your child’s diagnosis, unlock their unique personality type, and your needs as their caregiver. I am well versed in navigating the often overwhelming landscape of school accommodations (504 plans, IEP’s, behavior plans, etc).
I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your unique needs and how we can work together to achieve your goals.

As a parent, when you are faced with a diagnosis of neurodiversity in your child or yourself, it can be an isolating experience. But it doesn’t have to be. I have worked in schools and gained a passion for working with neurodiverse students and their families. Together we work to find peace in their diagnosis and help families advocate for their child’s needs at school by finding effective solutions that foster learning.
A “neurodiversity diagnosis” is not a specific medical diagnosis, but an umbrella term that describes individuals whose brain functions in ways that differ from what is considered “typical.” It includes conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, and other sensory processing disorders. Essentially, it refers to people who are “neurodivergent,” experiencing variations in cognitive processing, without necessarily having a single, clear-cut diagnosis. Often there are variations in how neurodiverse people present, even within the same diagnosis making each person’s experience and needs unique to them.
While your child may have struggled in school before diagnosis whether it was with grades, auditory input, focus, physical presentations, or others, often schools will not make accommodations before formal diagnosis. Now that you have one or are in the process of getting one, what’s next? I will sit down and work through which route is best for your child/family and how to talk to the school and what exactly to request. You are your child’s greatest advocate, I work to be yours.
School is not the only place where parents of neurodiverse kids need support. Parenting is always hard, even for neurotypical families. While some families sit well in their home environments with accommodations they’ve either knowingly or unknowingly created themselves, others may need more coaching to create a life of balance and peace at home. Together we’ll work through your needs as a caregiver and your child’s unique needs at home in a way that will help you both feel supported and fulfilled.
Therapy is designed to provide a safe space for self-exploration and emotional support. It offers tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. Therapy also promotes self-awareness, boosts confidence, and supports lasting positive changes.
Navigating school accommodations can be hard enough on its own, add in the dynamic personalities that come with a diagnosis, every day can feel overwhelming. I love working with parents to help navigate accommodations with ease while finding methods for operating at home that make the often chaotic norm more manageable for both you and your child.
Therapy often becomes an afterthought between work and other responsibilities. Prioritizing your mental health should be first, that’s why I’ve made Compass Counseling’s therapy schedule accessible for working adults, meeting in the evenings online, on your terms, where you’re most comfortable and open to talking.
I am located in Wyoming, and I am licensed to practice in Wyoming, Arizona, and Montana.
