Many of our patients also suffer from co-occurring disorders, such as mental health or medical issues. We provide medical and psychiatric care for our patients at out main location in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, as well as group & individual counseling services at our new location, located in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. Our Counseling Centers motto is "treatment on demand" as we do not require individuals seeking help to wait a long period for an appointment, which could lead to a missed opportunity to help them.
