No matter where you are in your mental health journey, Bleuler Psychotherapy Center is here to offer professional guidance and compassionate care. Our diverse range of psychotherapy services ensures that you can find the support you need to face life’s challenges and achieve personal growth.

Our History

Since its inception in 1949 by Dr. Gerard Chrzanowski, a student of Carl Jung and Swiss psychiatrist Dr. Eugene Bleuler, we have aimed to make psychotherapy affordable and accessible. Dr. Bleuler, who introduced critical concepts like schizophrenia and autism into psychiatric vocabulary, believed in the potential for individuals with mental illnesses to lead fulfilling lives. This belief continues to guide us today as we strive to enhance the quality of life for our clients.

Looking Ahead

Bleuler is proud to be the oldest freestanding not-for-profit outpatient facility in Queens and Long Island, reflecting the vibrant diversity of our community with a multilingual staff. With over 65,000 sessions provided annually, we are constantly enhancing our services through customer feedback and technological integration to improve the care experience.
