About Life Compass Partners
Life Compass Partners (LCP), formerly Patricia Murphy and Associates, is a planning and placement firm specializing in school and therapeutic placements for children, adolescents, young adults and adults. Founded in 1998 by Patricia A. Murphy, RN, MPA, CEP it has been matching clients' needs with academic and therapeutic answers with much success since its inception. Satisfied customers and their referents are the majority of LCP's client base. Educational and therapeutic leaders across the country and internationally trust their students and clients in the capable hands of the LCP team.
The members of the firm are held in high regard by the schools and programs with which they work as much as they are by their clientele. Members of the firm regularly travel in excess of 30% of their time visiting schools and programs locally, nationally and abroad. While visiting, the placement specialists are getting to know the inner workings of the schools and programs, those in administration, the faculty, the counselors and the front line staff. After 20 years of service, in most instances, the travel and connection with the schools and programs is a strengthening of an already existing knowledge of the institution and deepening of a relationship with the facilities' personnel. Regularly communicating with personnel at the schools and programs keeps the firm's members abreast of current offerings, changes and improvements thus insuring that the search for the best possible match is achieved.
Our mission is to help individuals across the life span to reach their potential. We partner with our clients and their families to navigate their life direction based upon their individual academic, social, emotional and behavioral needs. We craft the best educational and/or therapeutic plan and determine the best means to implement that plan. Since educational and therapeutic needs change over time, we recognize our clients as lifelong learners. We find the most appropriate learning opportunity for our clients at any given time in their lives.
