About Brooklyn Center for Psychotherapy

Located in Brooklyn, New York, the Brooklyn Center for Psychotherapy provides outpatient mental health and addiction recovery services for youth and adults. Their chemical dependency unit operates under the name New Directions and includes medication assisted treatment (MAT), community outreach programs, and ambulatory detox for eligible clients.

They accept walk-in patients and no one will be turned away because of an inability to pay. They offer sliding scale payment plans and accept private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and other government funding.

I like that they offer outpatient detox services and MAT for clients in alcohol and opioid recovery. This allows you to receive the care you need when you need it while still living at home and continuing to work or attend school.

They also offer individual, group, and family counseling using a wide array of psychotherapeutic approaches to best meet your needs. It strikes me that they specialize in age specific programming to address the unique needs of teens, young adults, and even seniors.

Their family counseling and education programs recognize the important role that loved ones can play in supporting clients’ long term sobriety. The goal is to promote whole-person healing to include their clients’ physical, emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. A critical aspect of this is the cultivation of healthy relationships with friends and family members free of codependency.

I appreciate that they also provide a robust aftercare regimen. Depending on your needs, you can continue to receive treatment and support for up to two years. You can also receive care through telehealth if you’re looking for counseling and education from the comfort of your own home.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I ve used this place twice over the last several years and both experiences and therapists have been great. I m shocked to see so many bad reviews because that hasn t been my experience at all. Ms. Levin was a great therapist, I can t say enough good things about her. She s very compassionate and caring. Molly is another great therapist and Julissa and Ashley are both great whenever I reached out via email my needs were always addressed promptly! In case you all don t hear it enough thank you for all you do!

I empathize with the individuals who left 1-star ratings. I too have experienced my share of mishaps during the initial stages of intake.I did have to call multiple times, I did have to follow up on more than one occasion and I did have to reschedule an intake session because I too spoke with someone who had VERY nasty behaviors. Instead of engaging I told her that I wasn t interested with continuing the process and took the necessary steps to be reassigned. Did it take time? Yes.I m one year in with my therapist who is truly an amazing individual and even worked with them to have my daughter assigned. That too took sometime but I got the sense that the staff to patient ratio may be off causing some administrative issues but once assigned things go a lot smoother. My therapist is human too, while it s her job she is human. I don t expect her to show up for me to 100% every session. Sometimes I get 75% and I m ok with that because I m sure she needs a session at the end of the day.

During the pandemic my sister s panic attacks came back full strength after having covid, pneumonia in both lungs, one of the people she was around passed away. ( to the point she was in the ER everyday due to the panic attacks) .She call this establishment since she went here 7 /8 years ago.She was assigned a therapist via virtually but realize she knew the therapist from a friend... she then stopped talking to the therapist immediately.The next day my sister Spoke with Ms A ( a supervisor/ manager) when I mean she was unprofessional. How could you have a job working with individuals who are already mentally unstable, going through life with so much and speak to them in such a manor!!! My sister ended up getting meds from her PCP and just tried to remember all the things she learned 7/8 years ago... but now she s having panic attacks again and she s lost on where to go because of the unprofessionalism last time. This is why individuals don t seek help, and why we see so many mentally ill individuals in the streets.

Been going here off and on for many years. It's the best place for me. My current therapist is the best. They help you connect childhood to adulthood, in order to help you relearn things in a healthy way, setting boundaries and eliminating codependency so you can live a fulfilling life.

If I could give this place a 0 rating I would. Seriously avoid this place at all costs. The staff is unprofessional and never call you back, you'll have to call them a million times yourself. Then for them to act as if you're annoying them. Oh and if you don't like your therapist or need a change for whatever reason yeah don't they will drop you. Go elsewhere if you need help, it's hard enough seeking mental health practitioners. This place should be investigated for medical malpractice.

I've been seeing my therapist for about 6 months now and it's been life changing. I was referred to the clinic by a friend and have since referred two more friends. This was my first experience in talk therapy and having a professional, non-biased listener in my life has helped my anxiety and help me discover various beliefs I have as a person. Highly recommend.

This place is unprofessional. I had to call weekly to check if someone will call me back, eventually on my third week of calling they told me there were no spots available. They are horrible with calling back.
