Even if you're across the bridge in Manhattan, Crown Counseling brings Brooklyn's warmth and expertise to you through telehealth. Our secure video therapy sessions mean you can get the same quality care from your home, office, or anywhere in Manhattan. Whether you're in Midtown between meetings or at home in Harlem, our therapists work around your schedule with morning, evening, and weekend availability. We accept all major insurance plans.
How video sessions work
Our clinicians are licensed in New York State, so a client in Manhattan gets the same therapist, the same session and the same insurance coverage as someone walking into our Crown Heights office. Before each appointment we send a secure link. You need a camera, a connection and a door that closes.
If you ever want to come in, you can. Most sessions are by video. For occasional in-person visits: 2/3 Train: Take the 3 from anywhere on the West Side or Lower Manhattan straight to Kingston Ave, then a short walk south. 4/5 Train: From Grand Central or Union Square, transfer to the 3 at Nevins St or Atlantic Ave–Barclays for Kingston Ave. A/C Train: From the West Side; ride to Nostrand Ave in Crown Heights.
