About Compass Health

Compass Health’s Lopez Island office is part of the largest community behavioral health provider in Northwest Washington, an organization serving children, families, and adults for more than a century. On Lopez Island they offer adult outpatient mental health care, including individual and group therapy, medication management, case management, and mental health assessments for concerns ranging from depression, anxiety, and mood disorders to trauma and psychosis. For substance use, their San Juan team runs an adult outpatient program at nearby Orcas Island and Friday Harbor offices, with standard outpatient and intensive outpatient levels of care, aftercare, and treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions.

Treatment plans are individualized, and the frequency of individual and group counseling follows ASAM criteria, ranging from monthly sessions to three times a week. The substance use program also provides comprehensive and DUI assessments, random urinalysis screening, and dialectical behavior therapy for co-occurring disorders, while their broader clinical work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, Illness Management and Recovery, and trauma-informed approaches. They coordinate with the local drug court, probation, the prosecutor’s office, hospitals, and community resource centers, which can help people who are involved with the legal system. They accept private insurance and Medicaid, offer a sliding-scale payment option, and can provide some services in Spanish or arrange interpreters.
