You Are Not Alone

Each year, an estimated 1 in 5 or 581,830 Long Island residents suffer from some form of mental health disorder and approximately 400,000 people 12+ are impacted by a substance use issue in any given year.  Many suffer in silence—because they can’t ask for help, especially those who need it the most. That’s why it is so important for friends, families, and neighbors to be the voice of those who can’t or won’t initially seek help for themselves.

CN Guidance & Counseling Services, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization serving Long Island for over 50 years, has grown substantially since its inception in 1972.  Our evolution has been shaped largely by reducing barriers to care and by the emerging needs of consumers as they move through the process of recovery.

Our Programs & Services

CN Guidance & Counseling Services offers our community an array of needed behavioral, clinical, and support services – all under one roof. We are one of the only providers serving residents of Long Island that offers a comprehensive safety net for people struggling with a combination of mental health and substance use (co-occurring) disorders.

Many of our programs serve not just individuals but also entire families affected by the obstacles that we help to address and dissolve.

Services are offered in multiple languages and available regardless of ability to pay.

Theresa’s Story

“I don’t want to get emotional, but when you think about saving your life and being able to be who you are around people like you, I’m not ashamed; I don’t mind crying, because they saved my life. They let me know that it’s okay to be me.”
