Military Services
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 supports 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.
If you are a current or former (regardless of discharge) member of the military, we stand ready to help you build the future you see for yourself. Here you will find other people who understand the challenges you and your family face, including compassionate and skilled staff members you and your loved ones together can count on every step of the way.
Whole-Family Approach
When an individual makes the selfless decision to serve this country, their commitment is shared by their entire family. It’s a service that extends beyond the individual to their loved ones. That's why we support the needs of the individual who served, and we also support the needs of their children and other family members.
