The Child Center of New York Cohen Family Wellness Center

About The Child Center of New York Cohen Family Wellness Center

The Child Center of New York has multiple clinics throughout the state, including the Cohen Family Wellness Center in Woodside, New York. This center treats all ages and provides mental health counseling, treatment for co occurring substance use disorder and early childhood services. There’s also an Asian Outreach Program that provides addiction treatment.

I was impressed that the center offers services in 24 different languages, which helps them deliver culturally appropriate care. They take a variety of insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. They have a sliding scale of fees as well.

Outpatient Treatment Services in Woodside

The Cohen Center provides outpatient counseling for mental health and substance use treatment. This may include both individual and group counseling as well as life skills classes. They provide psychiatric services including medication management.

There’s also a youth intensive outpatient program (IOP) for young people ages 12 to 17. This program supports those with significant mental health concerns but allows them to still live at home instead of in a residential facility.

Other services include an early childhood mental health program, Early Head Start, and ParentChild+.

Asian Outreach Services for Substance Use Treatment

Another unique program at the Cohen Center is their Asian Outreach Program. The Asian community faces significant stigma when it comes to addressing mental health and substance use, and this culturally tailored program helps ease that.

The staff are immigrants themselves and speak their native languages. They provide mental health and addiction treatment as well as child abuse prevention, domestic violence counseling, parenting workshops and more.
