Outpatient Mental Health Services

The Child Center of NY is dedicated to ensuring that current and former members (regardless of discharge) of the military and their families receive the high-quality care they deserve so they can overcome challenges and achieve their vision of what they want their lives to be. We offer therapy and other support to both the service members themselves and to their children and other family members. Serving the whole family is a cornerstone of our approach. Our goal is to provide military service members and their loved ones a safe and therapeutic place where they can optimize their mental health, including successful recovery from substance use, and their overall wellness in a military-focused environment.
