LIBERTY – Astor Services, a provider of mental and behavioral health and education services for children, young adults, and their families, has officially unveiled its Liberty counseling center in the Sullivan County office building at 20 Community Lane. In addition to the new center, Astor, a non-profit organization, provides services for individuals from birth to age 26 in the Hudson Valley and the Bronx.
A sliding fee schedule is available based on family size and income. “No individual will be denied access to services due to their inability to pay,” Astor announced in their prepared statement.
“Astor Services continuously assesses the needs in communities we serve, and we are determined to provide a spectrum of services to respond to those needs,” said Yvette Bairan, chief executive officer of Astor Services. “Our interdisciplinary team includes child psychiatrists, child psychologists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, social workers, family advocates and other professionals prepared to support youth and their families. Children struggling with mental health concerns that impact their ability to function in daily life, or families struggling with issues such as communication, boundary- and limit-setting and other concerns may benefit from family, individual or group therapy and we want to ensure those supports are readily accessible to them.”
According to Carley Andrews Otero, project manager for Astor Services, “The program is licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health and the new location will allow for continued collaboration between Astor and county staff. Additional expansion opportunities are being discussed with Sullivan County leaders on an ongoing basis.”
