Our Team
Meet our therapists
Teletherapy for individuals, couples, and adolescents throughout the state of California.
Founder and Clinical Director
Nora Katz, LCSW
Nora started Inner Compass because she believes people deserve therapy that takes the time to understand them: the patterns underneath what brings them in, and the parts of them that want to be found. Trained at Columbia University, she pays attention to what is said and to what has been hard to say, drawing on psychodynamic, relational, and attachment-based therapy, along with IFS, somatic work, and EMDR.
