New York Psychotherapy and Counseling Center (“NYPCC”) was founded in 1974 as a non-profit community oriented mental health clinic licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health. We are now comprised of seven program locations, using evidence-based practices and cutting edge rehabilitation techniques to provide out-patient mental health services to the community, including Seriously and Persistently Mentally ill adults and Seriously Emotionally Disturbed children and adolescents in Brooklyn and Queens. MISSION: NYPCC's mission is to improve the quality of lives for individuals with behavioral and emotional challenges by providing exceptional mental health services using the most up-to-date, evidence-based practices helping our clients to become more active and productive members of the community. VALUES: The values upon which NYPCC was founded are that everyone, no matter their age, race, or socioeconomic status, is entitled to the best possible mental health treatment in a state of the art environment by culturally sensitive and well-trained mental health professionals.
