Navigating life’s challenges together.

Hello, Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Sarah Marquette, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care. I also bring professional designations and hands-on experience as a Registered Early Childhood Educator (ECE), Registered Social Worker (RSW), and a Child and Youth Care Practitioner (CYC). I have spent over 25 years walking alongside children, teens, adults, and families through life’s most tender and transformative moments—as a therapist, educator, and fellow human being.

My Journey

My journey into psychotherapy was a natural extension of who I am—a helper at heart, deeply curious about human resilience and the power of connection. Over the years, I have supported individuals living with anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and addiction, always striving to meet each person with empathy and respect. Creating Guiding Compass Psychotherapy and Wellness has been a dream grounded in my belief that healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and valued.

Helper at Heart

I offer in-person therapy in Port Perry, Ontario, and virtual psychotherapy across the province and beyond. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I integrate tools from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and psychodynamic therapy, and I am trained in Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapy and certified in Comprehensive DBT (C-DBT). My work is always trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and strength-based.
