East Flatbush is one of Brooklyn's largest Caribbean communities, and Crown Counseling is proud to offer culturally informed therapy for its residents. Our therapists understand the specific stressors and cultural dynamics that Caribbean and Afro-Caribbean families face. Whether you're dealing with immigration stress, family dynamics, depression, or anxiety, we provide a safe, culturally respectful space.

In person or by video
Every clinician sees clients both ways. In person means our office in Crown Heights, about 20 min from East Flatbush on the 2/5 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.
Who you might see
