The Kaplan Family Center Newburgh

The Kaplan Family Center in Newburgh works with two groups of people. Children with developmental delays, autism, or Down Syndrome make up one group. Adults facing substance use, anxiety, and depression make up the other. Care takes place on an outpatient basis, so people attend appointments and return home afterward. Counseling is offered one-on-one, in groups, and with families, along with play therapy for younger children. Clinicians speak English and Spanish, which makes things easier for families who prefer one language over the other.

Housed in a building that dates to the 1850s, the center is close to the Hudson River. Families report a warm environment and a personable staff. Parking is available on the street nearby, and neighborhood services are within easy reach. When appropriate for the individual, the clinical staff combines psychotherapy, psychiatric care, and medication-assisted treatment. Every plan reflects that person's diagnosis and circumstances and includes everyday skills they can put to use.

Care options and methods used here

The center lists outpatient care as its sole level of care, meaning no overnight stays. People come for scheduled visits and keep living at home or with family. The center lists life skills support, group therapy, individual counseling, family therapy cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Medication-assisted treatment is also listed, which can help people with opioid use disorder stay in care. Nutrition counseling and online therapy are offered as well.

The team describes its work as evidence-based, with a holistic and wellness focus. Treatment is individualized, so a child with developmental needs follows a different plan than an adult managing anxiety or depression. Outpatient programs in New York that combine therapy with medication support, like this one, can fit people who need structure without leaving home.

Sessions are in English and Spanish, and online therapy is available for those who cannot come in person.
