Bedford-Stuyvesant is a vibrant neighborhood with deep roots, and we're proud to serve its residents. Our therapists are experienced in addressing the mental health needs of Bed-Stuy's diverse community, including culturally informed care for Black and Caribbean families. Whether you're near Nostrand Ave or Tompkins Ave, getting to our office is straightforward via several subway lines. We also offer telehealth for clients who prefer remote sessions.
Getting to our office
Multiple subway options connect Bed-Stuy to our office in 15 minutes or less.
- A/C Train
Nostrand Ave station, transfer to the 3 at Franklin Ave or Utica Ave, then ride to Kingston Ave
- G Train
Classon Ave or Bedford-Nostrand Aves, transfer to the S (Shuttle) at Franklin Ave
- B44 Bus
Direct route down Nostrand Ave, stopping a few blocks from our office on Carroll St
- B26 Bus
Runs along Halsey/Fulton and connects to Nostrand Ave buses
From the A/C at Utica Ave you can also walk south to the 3 train at Utica Ave and ride one stop to Kingston Ave.
Driving: street parking is usually available on Carroll Street and the surrounding blocks, and there is a municipal lot on Rogers Avenue. The office is at 1398 Carroll Street, between Kingston and Brooklyn Avenues.
In person or by video
Every clinician sees clients both ways. In person means our office in Crown Heights, about 15 min from Bed-Stuy on the A/C Train. By video means a secure link, a private room wherever you are, and the same clinician, the same session and the same insurance.
Many people do both: in person to start, video in the weeks when getting across Brooklyn is the thing standing between them and the session. You choose each time you book, not once.
