About Harlem Family Services
Welcome to Harlem Family Services, a nonprofit organization proudly serving the East Harlem community of Manhattan in New York City. The experienced team offers both in-person and virtual clinical services, designed to meet the unique mental health needs of individuals, couples, and families.
Inspired by the legacy of Dr. Margaret Morgan Lawrence, a renowned pediatrician, psychoanalyst, and founding board member, we are dedicated to upholding her vision of compassionate, community-centered mental health care.
Rooted in a whole-person, trauma-informed, and socioculturally aware approach, our mission is to provide accessible, affordable care that empowers people to build healthier, more balanced lives.
Harlem Family Services provides a comprehensive range of diagnostic assessments, personalized treatment plans, and support services specifically designed for children, adolescents, young adults, and their families.
Our therapeutic programs include individual and group psychotherapy, child psychotherapy, parent support groups, and psychiatric evaluations, including medication management when needed.
Services are also available in local schools, community centers, houses of worship, and other neighborhood spaces, working closely with educators and community leaders.
We proudly serve a diverse range of individuals, including foster care families, immigrant households, frontline healthcare professionals, educators, clergy, law enforcement, and community advocates.
Whether you’re seeking to identify and heal from trauma, improve daily routines, or find solutions to personal or professional challenges, Harlem Family Services is here to support your journey toward wellness and lasting change. Call the office or book an appointment online today.
