NYFS Mental Health Services are culturally responsive, trauma-
<br />informed, and community-driven, provided by clinicians skilled in
<br />working with all ages. We offer an accessible sliding fee scale,
<br />accept most insurances, and offer in-person and telehealth services
<br />to ensure access to care.
<br />Clinic-Based Therapy
<br />We collaborate with clients to develop clear goals and personalized plans
<br />to treat challenging symptoms, increasing mental health and wellbeing.
<br />We believe healing and growth occur when clients more deeply
<br />understand their needs and experiences through a supportive relationship
<br />with a skilled, compassionate provider.
<br />Our goal is to offer clients quality mental health treatment within the context of
<br />their culture and lived experiences. We provide individual, couple, family, and
<br />group psychotherapy services attuned to the needs of each client. We work
<br />with the full age spectrum, with specialized services that address needs at every
<br />stage of life. We support clients with a wide range of mental health concerns
<br />including depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, stress and trauma, grief and loss,
<br />family conflict, and identity development, among others. In addition to therapy,
<br />we offer multidisciplinary care including psychiatric services for children, adolescents,
<br />and adults, as well as psychological evaluations for children and adolescents. Our
<br />evaluators are skilled in diagnosing autism, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions. We are
<br />proud to meet clients where they are and support them throughout their healing journey.
<br />School-Based Therapy
<br />In partnership with three northeast metro school districts, we offer comprehensive and accessible
<br />mental health support to students by providing care onsite, embedded in their school. We provide
<br />individual and group therapy to address issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and
<br />other concerns from early childhood through high school.
<br />Our therapists collaborate with school staff to support students’ mental health needs in the
<br />classroom. They also serve as a resource for the entire school, sharing their expertise and helping
<br />staff address broader mental health challenges. This contributes to better social, emotional, and
<br />academic outcomes for students, teachers, and schools as a whole.

<br />Youth Pathways
<br />We provide empowering services to youth and their families by offering an alternative to the
<br />traditional juvenile justice system. Our services promote youth accountability, meet individual and
<br />family underlying needs, reduce recidivism, and offer youth a vision for their own purpose and
<br />potential.
<br />YOUTH DIVERSION:
<br />Youth Diversion serves youth ages 12–17 who have justice system involvement including illegal
<br />behavior such as theft, disorderly conduct, or alcohol/drug use. Using restorative principles,
<br />we help youth take accountability for the incident and harm caused, build positive decision-
<br />making skills, and get back on track. We provide an intake meeting with a caregiver and create
<br />an individualized contract based on their needs. Contracts often include community service,
<br />seminar attendance with a caregiver, apology letters, chemical or mental health referrals, drug
<br />testing, and/or restitution. We also provide regular check-ins with staff for support. By addressing
<br />underlying needs, we significantly reduce the likelihood that youth will reoffend in the future.
<br />COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS:
<br />Community Connections is a seven-week, group-based experience for youth that builds social
<br />skills, self-confidence, and resilience through career exploration, self-reflection, volunteer activities,
<br />and contacts with other community organizations. We offer this to youth who will benefit from
<br />building deeper, healthier connections with their peers, adults, and community. Together,
<br />we focus on community service, work skills identification, and development of key life skills such
<br />as nutrition, fitness, time management and routines, and budgeting. We create opportunities for
<br />youth to build meaningful connections with their peers and supportive adults, while learning about
<br />resources in their community that will help them now and in the future.
<br />Community Advocate Program
<br />In partnership with five local law enforcement departments, our community advocate co-creates
<br />public safety by supporting community members whose needs fall outside the scope of law
<br />enforcement. We serve adults through short-term resources and referrals or long-term case
<br />management. Within a harm reduction framework, our advocate provides: crisis stabilization
<br />services, community resources, economic assistance, referrals for mental health and/or chemical
<br />health services, housing support, senior services, and parenting resources. Our advocate
<br />strengthens the community by addressing the individual community member’s underlying
<br />needs while reducing reliance on law enforcement. They serve as a bridge between
<br />community members, law enforcement, case managers, and family/caregivers.
