Community-Based Resources in NYC

I understand that mental health care can feel out of reach for many people, and that finding affordable support in New York City is often difficult. To make this process a little easier, I’ve gathered a list of organizations and clinics in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens that provide low-cost therapy, many with a focus on trauma-informed care.

These resources include community clinics, training institutes, and nonprofits dedicated to making mental health care more accessible. Each program has its own intake process and fee structure, so I encourage you to reach out to them directly for the most accurate information. If you’d like guidance in navigating these options, please feel free to contact me—I’m always glad to help point you toward the support that feels right for you.
