What compass of hope does

Compass of Hope Counseling PLLC is a multidisciplinary private mental health practice headquartered in Hooksett, New Hampshire, with additional offices in Concord and Hampton, and telehealth coverage spanning New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. The practice delivers a broad clinical service portfolio including individual, couples, family, children/teen, group, and addiction counseling; psychiatric medication management and medication-assisted treatment for addiction; specialized protocols such as EMDR for trauma, REMS-certified Spravato (esketamine) and compounded intranasal ketamine for treatment-resistant depression; comprehensive neuropsychological testing for ADHD, autism, and full battery cognitive assessments; drug and alcohol evaluations; bariatric and FMLA/ESA evaluations; and GLP-1 medication-assisted weight management. CEU workshops for mental health professionals are offered live and on-demand as a professional development stream.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for the sector: telehealth is delivered via secure video; scheduling, intake, and patient portal functionality run on AdvancedMD; and clinical differentiation rests on human clinician expertise and specialized treatment suites rather than proprietary software. The practice is owned by actively practicing mental health professionals, positioning clinical quality and staff well-being as part of its operating philosophy.

The business model is primarily fee-for-service. Therapy is billed per session across four clinician tiers ranging from $130 (intern) to $200 (psychologist), with a $20 surcharge for couples and family sessions. Psychiatry is billed per visit ($400 initial evaluation, $175 follow-up). Specialty services operate as direct-pay: ketamine at $600/visit, neuropsych testing at $3,605-$5,150.60, and drug/alcohol evaluations at $500. GLP-1 medications are sold per vial at $350-$500 on a self-pay basis. Revenue diversification comes from ten-plus in-network commercial insurance contracts (Optum, Harvard Pilgrim, Cigna, Anthem BCBS, Aetna, United Healthcare, Tricare, Tufts, Ambetter, Martin's Point), two Medicaid plans (AmeriHealth Caritas, NH Healthy Families), self-pay, and CareCredit financing for high-ticket out-of-pocket services. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, relying on SEO-optimized service pages, an active clinical blog, healthcare provider referrals, school partnerships, and direct phone/online appointment requests.
