At Bleuler Psychotherapy Center, our Forest Hills Therapy Center reflects over 75 years of trusted, community-rooted outpatient mental health care in the heart of Queens. We’re proud to offer supportive therapy services to individuals, couples, and families navigating life’s emotional challenges. Whether you’re seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or relationship stress, our Forest Hills location provides a calm, professional environment for starting your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Many clients come to us during periods of change, crisis, or uncertainty. What they find is a welcoming center grounded in empathy, clinical integrity, and respect for individual paths. Our Forest Hills Therapy Center isn’t just a place for therapy; it’s a supportive space where people explore their inner world, learn new coping tools, and grow into greater emotional balance. We’re here to help you move forward, one session, one step at a time.
At our Forest Hills Therapy Center, we believe that real therapeutic progress begins by seeing you as a full person, not just a set of symptoms. From your very first session, we take the time to understand your story, challenges, and aspirations, then tailor a care plan that supports your individual needs. Everyone arrives with different experiences, and we honor that uniqueness through collaborative, person-centered therapy.
Individual therapy is the foundation of our work. In one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist, you’ll have a private, confidential space to explore what’s on your mind. Whether you’re struggling with mood symptoms, processing trauma, or working through transitions, your therapist will guide you with clinical skill and compassion. We draw on evidence-based modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-informed care to help you build resilience, emotional awareness, and personal insight. These aren’t cookie-cutter sessions; we focus on making therapy feel real, relevant, and supportive to your growth.
We also offer group counseling, which creates a shared space for connection and healing. Group sessions bring together individuals who may be facing similar concerns, like managing anxiety, relationship difficulties, or maintaining recovery goals. Led by experienced clinicians, group therapy fosters communication, community, and mutual encouragement. For many clients, group participation reduces feelings of isolation and strengthens motivation.
For clients working through substance use concerns, we offer focused outpatient addiction counseling. Our approach recognizes that substance use often intersects with emotional challenges like anxiety, trauma, or grief. Instead of treating these issues in isolation, we offer integrated outpatient therapy that addresses the full picture. When clinically appropriate, referrals can be made to trusted psychiatric providers for medication evaluation. All treatment is provided within the ethical scope of outpatient behavioral health care.
We understand that therapy must fit into real life, especially in a fast-paced city like New York. That’s why we provide telehealth therapy as part of our core outpatient services. Whether you’re balancing work demands, caregiving, transportation issues, or simply prefer a remote format, our HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions bring the same high-quality care to your home or office. You’ll continue working with licensed clinicians in a format that prioritizes convenience and continuity.
We also offer outpatient treatment for individuals experiencing gambling-related challenges. Gambling urges can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our clinicians provide structured therapy and practical tools to help you regain a sense of control. Whether you’re dealing with financial stress, strained relationships, or emotional fallout, these services are designed to help you understand your behavior and begin your recovery journey with focused support.
At Bleuler, we don’t just treat symptoms, we build therapeutic relationships rooted in care, collaboration, and long-term support. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, our Forest Hills Therapy Center offers a reliable space for growth, healing, and continued self-work.
In a city full of therapists and mental health options, what makes a therapy center stand out? At Bleuler’s Forest Hills Therapy Center, our difference is built on decades of community care, a reputation for clinical excellence, and a deep respect for every individual we serve.
We approach therapy from a whole-person perspective. That means we don’t just look at surface-level symptoms; we consider your lived experiences, emotional patterns, cultural background, and personal goals. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, we help you connect the dots between your challenges and the broader context of your life. This approach supports meaningful, lasting change.
Our therapists are trained in research-backed approaches like CBT, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and relational systems therapy. But we also know that therapy isn’t just about technique, it’s about connection. That’s why we prioritize empathy, responsiveness, and collaboration in every session. We’re here to walk beside you as you gain insight, build coping tools, and move toward personal growth.
Flexibility is another hallmark of our care. As a fully outpatient center, we design treatment plans that adapt to your life. Need more frequent support during a crisis? Prefer to reduce sessions during a period of stability? We’ll adjust your plan accordingly. Therapy should support your rhythm, not impose one.
What truly sets our center apart is the environment we cultivate. From your first phone call to your final session, you’ll experience warmth, professionalism, and respect. Many of our clients share that their time at Bleuler was the first place they felt genuinely understood. That sense of trust is what drives our work.
And finally, we’re proud of our legacy. The Forest Hills Therapy Center has been serving Queens and NYC for over 75 years. That history speaks to our commitment to ethical, affordable, and accessible care. We’re a long-standing part of the neighborhood, and we’re here when you need us.
Beginning therapy at our Forest Hills Therapy Center means stepping into a space where your story is heard, your needs are honored, and your progress is supported with care. Whether you’re new to therapy or reconnecting with it, we’re here to make the process accessible and empowering.
It starts with a confidential intake. When you reach out, by phone or online, we’ll connect you with an intake specialist who will walk you through the process. We ask thoughtful questions about your goals, emotional history, and therapist preferences. This ensures we can match you with a licensed clinician who fits your needs, whether you’re looking for support with anxiety, grief, trauma, substance use, or general stress.
After intake, you’ll begin therapy with your assigned clinician. In your first sessions, you’ll collaborate to set goals and create a treatment plan tailored to your life, not a checklist. Whether you’re hoping to improve relationships, understand emotional patterns, or manage stress, your plan is designed to evolve with you.
Ongoing sessions typically begin weekly and may shift to biweekly or periodic check-ins over time. We remain flexible as your life and needs change. Throughout your therapy, we assess progress together and adjust techniques or goals as needed.
In addition to individual therapy, clients may engage in group counseling focused on emotional regulation or other shared concerns. When helpful, we coordinate care with external providers for medication evaluation or specialized referrals. Every step is collaborative and grounded in outpatient continuity.
When therapy comes to a close, whether it’s after a short-term series of sessions or part of a longer therapeutic process, we focus on making the transition smooth and intentional. This includes dedicated closure planning where we reflect on your progress, highlight the growth you’ve achieved, and equip you with tools for ongoing self-care. For many individuals, this step is not a goodbye but a shift. Some return for follow-up sessions during times of transition or challenge, and we’re proud to remain a trusted resource along your mental health journey.
At Bleuler, therapy is never one-size-fits-all; it’s a collaborative partnership rooted in honesty, respect, and real care. Whether your work with us has focused on Substance Use Counseling, Medication-Assisted Substance Use Treatment, Psychiatric Services, Group Counseling, or ongoing Telehealth Therapy, we meet you with personalized support every step of the way. If Gambling Treatment is part of your care, we integrate that seamlessly into your plan with the same level of attention and compassion. Whatever your path has looked like, we honor your courage in showing up, and if you’re ready to take that next step toward healing and growth, our Therapy Center is here to walk beside you.
