About Us
Where Hope is on the Horizon
A compassionate, mission-driven counseling practice in Idaho Falls — committed to quality, innovative treatment for every person who walks through our doors.
Our Mission
Why We Exist
Compassion Counseling PLLC is committed to providing quality, innovative, and compassionate treatment to the Idaho Falls community and beyond — empowering individuals to access their inner strength, heal from life's deepest wounds, and build lives defined by hope, not pain.
Founded by Kelly Jianas, LMFT, Compassion Counseling is a private practice that serves individuals, couples, families, and teens in Idaho Falls and statewide via telehealth. We use evidence-based methods — including EMDR, CBT, person-centered, solution-focused, and somatic approaches — to treat trauma, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, grief, relationship issues, and more. Our growing team of licensed clinicians shares a deep commitment to meeting every client where they are, without judgment.
What We Stand For
Our Core Values
Genuine Compassion
It's not just our name — it's our foundation. Every interaction, every session, every conversation is rooted in authentic care for the person in front of us.
Evidence-Based Excellence
We use proven, research-backed methods — not guesswork. Our clinicians stay current with the latest science so our clients get approaches that actually work.
Safe Space for Everyone
No judgment. No agenda. Clients of all backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences are welcomed and respected. You set the terms of your healing.
Growth-Minded Culture
We believe in lifelong learning — for our clients and our clinicians. Our team collaborates, supports each other, and constantly invests in professional development.
Faith-Inclusive
Christian counseling is available for those who want it — integrated respectfully, never imposed. We meet you where you are spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.
Autonomy & Fit
Every therapist brings unique strengths. Every client has unique needs. We match the right clinician with the right person — because fit matters as much as credentials.

How We Work
Our Therapeutic Approach
Every client is different. Our clinicians draw from multiple evidence-based methods to match the approach to the person — not the other way around.
EMDR
Research-proven trauma processing that helps your brain heal from painful experiences and break free from the past.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Practical tools to identify and change the thought patterns driving anxiety, depression, and anger.
Person-Centered Therapy
Therapy built around your goals, your pace, and your unique story. No judgment, no agenda.
Solution-Focused
Forward-moving therapy focused on where you want to go — not just where you've been.
Self-Regulation Therapy
A neurobiological approach to trauma that works with the body's own healing capacity.
Somatic Techniques
Body-based methods that address how trauma and stress live in your physical experience.
Community Recognized
Idaho Falls' Most Trusted Practice
Compassion Counseling PLLC has been voted the Post Register's Reader's Choice Award winner for "Best Mental Health Facility" in Idaho Falls — four years and counting. That kind of recognition doesn't come from marketing. It comes from clients who felt genuinely helped.
