The Story
For Clinicians,
By a Clinician
Allen T. Riggs is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with a PhD in Psychology from Grand Canyon University and more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health and higher education.
He built TheraProse because he watched colleagues struggle with the same problems year after year — financial plans that didn't account for the counselor's irregular income, admin work that technology should have handled, and no clear voice in policy conversations that directly affected their ability to practice.
So he taught himself to build technology. He created CompactReady.com — a live SaaS platform used by counselors nationwide to navigate the Counseling Compact — without a development team, without outside funding, and without a technical background. Just the conviction that the profession needed it.
"I built what the profession needed — because no one else was building it."— Allen T. Riggs, PhD, NCC, LCMHC
