Services Offered
Counseling - We offer Individual, family, and group therapy for children, adolescents, adults and families.
6-Week Intensive Outpatient Program - We offer multiple time per week individual, group and family therapy to persons 18 years or older, who need a higher level of support for a short period of time. Intensive Outpatient is available in Middletown and Newburgh and can be started the very next day. Our licensed therapists and board certified psychiatrists offer evidence-based therapies and medication treatment designed to help you quickly get back on track after a crisis or a hospitalization. Typically participants will attend visits 3-5 days per week for 6 weeks.
Mobile Mental Health Team - Connect with a trained counselor any time of the day or night when stress, depression or other mental health issues create a personal crisis. Our team can respond to an urgent issue at home or anywhere in the community at no cost to you. Call 888-750-2266, 24/7 (Orange County) or 844-277-4820, 10AM - 10PM daily (Ulster County).
Medication Assisted Treatment (Suboxone) - We offer psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, and medication to help people end the cycle of addiction to opioid painkillers or heroin for good. Our therapists and psychiatrists in this program are addiction specialists. This is a comprehensive outpatient program that offers counseling, psychiatric care, addiction medicine, and primary care.
OnTrackNY - An innovative treatment program for adolescents and young adults (ages 16-30) who have had unusual thoughts and behaviors, or who have started hearing or seeing things that others don't (a first episode of a psychotic disorder). OnTrackNY offers a close-working team of therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, and school/employment specialists, with highly individualized services, to help people achieve their goals for school, work, and relationships. Our program serves Orange, Sullivan, Dutchess, and Ulster Counties, both in our center and out in the community.
Personalized Recovery-Oriented Services - This rehabilitation and treatment program helps people succeed on their own, reducing the chances of relapse or hospitalization and any other event that compromises independence.
Residential Opportunities - A group home with 24 hour supervision for people with mental illness is only one option in Orange County, where the agency also offers a range of supported and certified treatment apartments.

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from New York's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to New York's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
