Mental Health & Counseling in the Bronx
Mental health services include counseling, therapy, psychiatric care, peer support and crisis lines, many from providers who understand incarceration and what it leaves behind. Many accept Medicaid, and some are free regardless of insurance.
If you or someone with you is in crisis, call or text 988 any time, day or night. Tip: bring your Medicaid card or number to your first visit if you have one; it opens up the most options and shortens the wait.
If a Bronx program has a waitlist, the citywide services below can often see you sooner, by phone or at an office in another borough.
