Mental health care is Steinway’s largest service. The agency operates four freestanding and several satellite clinics.
The free-standing clinics include:
- The Steinway Clinic, the agency’s flagship clinic which in 2009 absorbed the Queensbridge Clinic. The merged clinic is located at the agency’s Long Island City headquarters.
- The Martin de Porres Clinic which serves Astoria, Flushing and Woodside.
- The Howard Beach Clinic, also located in Queens, became a part of Steinway in 2001 and runs a psychology intern program that attracts students from across the country.
- The Courtland Avenue Clinic in the South Bronx is Steinway’s newest clinic. It has doubled in size since opening in 2009.
Clinics provide individual, group and family therapy as well as medication therapy and management. The clinics offer a continuum of mental health services so consumers can easily access the appropriate level of care.
Therapists working in tandem with consumers develop a treatment plan with specific therapeutic goals. Length of care depends on the attainment of those goals. The average length of treatment is 6 months to a year.
Clinic referrals come from community groups, schools, managed care providers, residential centers, faith-based institutions, hospitals, drug/alcohol programs, mobile crisis teams, provider agencies, New York City and State mental health and social services agencies and former and current clients.
Steinway’s clinics operate weekdays and Saturdays.
