Therapist in Bushwick, Brooklyn

Bushwick clients reach us via the J/M/Z to the 2/5 transfer, or the convenient B44 bus.

Bushwick's artistic and diverse community deserves accessible mental health care. Crown Counseling serves Bushwick residents with both in-person sessions at our Crown Heights office and telehealth options. Our therapists work with the anxiety, depression, creative burnout, and cultural identity issues common in Bushwick's dynamic community. Evening hours are available to fit your schedule.

Getting to our office

Several transit options connect Bushwick to our Crown Heights office.

  • J/M/Z Train

    From any Bushwick stop, ride to Broadway Junction, transfer to the A/C to Utica Ave, then the 3 one stop to Kingston Ave

  • L Train

    From Bushwick–Aberdeen or Halsey, ride to Broadway Junction and transfer

  • B60 Bus

    Runs from Bushwick through Bed-Stuy toward Crown Heights

  • B44 Bus

    Catch on Nostrand Ave, direct route south to our office

If you're near Myrtle-Broadway, the B44 on Nostrand Ave is the most direct option.

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 Bushwick on the J/M/Z 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.
