Westchester Community Mental Health Services

On this page, you will find links to Spanish language services as well as to our extensive database of all community mental health services.

If you need to find services in Spanish, please read the Directory of Community Mental health Services: Spanish Speaking Services produced by Westchester County’s Office of Mental Health. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.)

The searchable database gives you extensive information about community mental health services in and around Westchester and Putnam counties in the state of New York.

There are two kinds of searches:

  • By category - selections from a list of services
  • With words - entry of words relating to a kind of service or to the name of an agency or program

If you choose to search by word, we recommend you enter:

  • One word or part of a word, rather than the full name
  • Choose "Any words" from the drop-down list under "Enter word or phrase"

You may wish to print out the instructions below to assist you in finding the services you seek.

If you need help in using this database or wish to add or correct information in this database, please contact us by phone at 914-345-5900, extension 240 or by e-mail at help@mhawestchester.org.
