Flatbush is one of Brooklyn's most diverse neighborhoods, home to large Caribbean, South Asian, and Orthodox Jewish communities. Crown Counseling's multicultural team is uniquely equipped to provide therapy that respects and incorporates these cultural backgrounds. Our office on Eastern Parkway is easily accessible from Flatbush via the 2/5 subway line or the B44 bus along Nostrand Ave. We offer individual, couples, family, and child therapy for Flatbush residents.
Getting to our office
The 2/5 train or the B44 bus up Nostrand Ave, then a short walk east along Eastern Pkwy.
- 2/5 Train
From Church Ave, Beverly Rd, or Newkirk Ave, ride north to President St–Medgar Evers College, then walk north on Nostrand Ave to Eastern Pkwy and east to Albany Ave, about 14 minutes. Or transfer to the 3 at Franklin Ave for Kingston Ave, one block from the office

The 2/5 express stops make Flatbush one of the fastest-connected neighborhoods to our office.
On foot: the office is at 864 Eastern Parkway, on the south side at the corner of Albany Avenue. From the Kingston Ave station on the 3, walk one block east, about 3 minutes. From Crown Heights–Utica Ave on the 3 and 4, walk three blocks west, about 8 minutes. Driving: street parking is usually available on the Eastern Parkway service road and the surrounding blocks.
In person or by video
Every clinician sees clients both ways. In person means our office in Crown Heights, about 15 min from 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

Mental health resources in Flatbush
Weekly therapy is one part of care. These are the places in and around Flatbush for the moments it is not enough, or for someone who needs a clinic that takes Medicaid or a sliding scale today. Our own list of hotlines is on the resources page.
