Crown Counseling is committed to serving Brownsville residents with accessible, high-quality mental health care. We understand the challenges this community faces, and our therapists provide compassionate, stigma-free support. We accept Medicaid, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, and other plans common among Brownsville residents, and many clients pay $0 copay.
Getting to our office
The 3 train is the fastest connection from Brownsville to our office.
- 3 Train
From Rockaway Ave, Saratoga Ave, or Sutter Ave, ride to Kingston Ave (direct), then a short walk south
- L Train
From Livonia Ave, transfer to the 3 train at Junius St/Livonia Ave
- B60 Bus
Runs west through East New York and Brownsville toward Crown Heights
- B14 Bus
Pitkin Ave, connecting to Nostrand Ave routes
The 3 train is the fastest option, a direct ride 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 25 min from Brownsville on the 3 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.
