Behavioral Health Services

Services and Care for short-term and on-going mental health conditions:

If you or a loved one needs care for mental health, psychiatric or behavioral health issues, the experienced staff at Mount Sinai South Nassau offers a range of options. For over 30 years, our team of behavioral health experts has been offering care for people with a sudden, short-term crisis as well as ongoing mental health conditions. We help people manage personal tragedy, job and family situations, medical illness and difficult diagnosis, as well as a wide range of mental health and substance use disorders.

We've also earned numerous awards for innovation and quality. Today, we offer both inpatient and outpatient programs that reach people in our communities during almost 50,000 sessions every year.

Our Behavioral Health Experts

Each patient's treatment team is made of behavioral health experts, which might include psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and art and activity therapists. Together, we work with you and your loved ones to learn about your condition, what to expect from treatment, and care you can continue at home.

Our Mental Health Programs and Facilities

Some patients benefit best from weekly therapy or education. Others benefit from intensive day treatment, and others from an inpatient hospital stay. Because of these different needs, our dedicated staff has created a variety of options for care at both South Nassau Communities Hospital and at our satellite mental health programs and facilities in Baldwin and Hempstead, NY. Your team will work with you to determine the best program for you.
