Mental Health Providers of Western Queens (MHPWQ), which was founded over 35 years ago, has a long history in Western Queens. Our mission has focused continuously on improving emotional wellbeing and promoting productive and happy lives. We have continued to grow and change to remain a relevant resource to the community, through an emphasis on responsiveness to observed needs and appreciation for the cultural diversity of Western Queens.

Consequently, our major service component is the provision of community mental health services to children, families, and adults through sponsorship of three large mental health clinics in Sunnyside, Woodside and Jackson Heights, known as Western Queens Consultation Center. Over the years we have increased our community involvement by expanding our clinical services into over 13 NYC public schools, where we provide consulting services to staff and counseling services to children and parents. All our mental health services are regulated and licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health. 

As an enhancement to our adult and child mental health services we also provide care coordination and case management services. In this program our staff members work diligently to ensure continuity of care. Home visits are conducted, clients are helped with medical and psychiatric appointments, and assistance is given when necessary in the tasks of home maintenance.

Substance abuse and recovery services are on-going areas of community concern. At our Woodside office for over 25 years we have sponsored a New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) licensed recovery program. In this program we work closely with community leaders and justice services to provide a path toward recovery and renewal.

We also have two Prevention Programs that provide kids and families supportive counseling that builds self-esteem, resilience, improves communication and conflict resolution skills in English and Spanish.
