New York Center For Living, Inc.

I was there for a short time before moving states, but would recommend it to anyone. The care there is like nothing I experienced in other programs. The faculty is dedicated, the care is personalized, and, most importantly, I felt heard/seen + confident that I could heal and thrive with their help.

NYCFL helped me rebuild my life. I had been through other programs in NYC and New Jersey before, but this was the first place that really saw me as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. The groups were real, the staff genuinely cared, and for the first time, I felt like I wasn't being judged for my choices. Therapy here wasn’t just about talking; we painted, we did yoga, we went to improv - I connected with people who I had so much empathy for which in turn allowed me to have empathy for myself. I’m now over two years sober, I've held down a job for over a year and a half, my family is proud of me and I'm actually excited about my future.
