Anchor Co AI gives your teen counseling center a 24/7 intake assistant that answers parent questions, explains your services, navigates insurance, and books consultations — automatically, every night of the week.
1 in 5 adolescents experiences a mental health disorder — and most families don't know where to start. The first practice to answer their questions wins their trust.
Why teen counseling centers lose families
A parent who discovers their teenager is struggling searches for help late at night. When they land on your website and find no one to answer their questions, they move on — and may not come back when morning comes.
Parents need to know about your counselors' backgrounds, your approach to adolescent depression or anxiety, whether you do family sessions, and what happens in the first appointment. These calls eat staff time that should go toward care.
Behavioral health billing is opaque. Parents ask whether you take their specific plan, what the copay is, and whether a referral is required. Every unanswered question is a reason to postpone — and postponed often becomes never.
When a parent describes a teen in crisis — self-harm, substance use, suicidal ideation — the intake conversation needs to route them to the right level of care immediately. Your website's first touchpoint matters.
How it works
We learn your age range, counselor specialties (anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, eating disorders), insurance panels, family session options, and your intake process. The bot represents your center accurately from day one.
A lightweight chat widget on your existing site. Parents get instant answers to their most urgent questions — insurance, scheduling, what to expect — and the bot routes them to your intake form or booking link.
Captured inquiries are forwarded to your team with context. Parents who reached out at 11 p.m. wake up already scheduled — because the bot gave them what they needed to take the next step.
Founding-client pricing
Foundation: website + hosting + 24/7 AI chatbot + Google Business Profile + missed-call text-back. Growth adds local SEO, invoicing, and the client pipeline at $997/mo. Full Office adds a 24/7 AI phone receptionist at $1,497/mo.
Yes, and this is one of the most important things we build into every mental health chatbot. When crisis language is detected — self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse emergencies — the bot immediately surfaces your direct line, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and local emergency services. It does not attempt to assess or counsel; it routes to help.
Absolutely. We program the bot with each counselor's background, the issues they treat, and the modalities they use (CBT, DBT, trauma-focused, etc.). Parents can ask 'Do you have someone who specializes in teen anxiety?' and get an accurate, helpful answer.
Yes. We configure your accepted plans, typical copay ranges, whether you offer sliding scale, and what parents need to bring to the first appointment. This removes one of the biggest barriers families face when seeking adolescent mental health care.
Our chatbot is designed for pre-intake conversations only — it does not collect protected health information (PHI) and does not integrate with your EHR. It captures contact information for scheduling, which is treated with appropriate security. We can discuss your compliance requirements on a call.
Month-to-month on every tier. Cancel anytime, keep your website and data. We earn this every month.
The chatbot goes live the day you sign on. No setup fee. No contract. 30-day refund guarantee.
