Brittany Barberian

Brittany is a licensed mental health counselor that is EMDR certified through EMDRIA. She opened Compass of Hope Counseling with the goal of providing quality accessible mental health care in New Hampshire. I decided to name the practice “Compass of Hope Counseling” because I believe hope is essential for change to occur. At the end of my second residency my professor handed us each a small compass and told us to use this to help us find our way if we ever feel lost. All too often we lose sight without hope. Most of the time, I find individuals feel lost and unseen, and that’s why they walk in the door wanting help. My hope is that all people, regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, and abilities will find a safe space to explore and process at Compass go Hope. We take pride in conducting additional research, attending advanced trainings, and enhancing our skill base so we can serve you better!
