Counseling support for life’s changes, challenges, and emotional needs.
Visiting Counselors of New York provides in-home, telehealth and telephonic counseling services for older adults and adults throughout New York who may benefit from compassionate, accessible mental health support.
Our goal is to make counseling easier to access for individuals who may have difficulty attending traditional office-based appointments, including older adults, adults with health-related concerns, adults with disabilities, and individuals experiencing life transitions, emotional stress, grief, anxiety, or depression.
Adult & Senior Counseling Services
Our adult and senior counseling services provide supportive, individualized care for older adults and adults experiencing emotional, behavioral, health-related, disability-related, or life-transition concerns. Services may be provided in the comfort of the client’s home or through telehealth when appropriate.
Our licensed clinical social workers help clients address concerns such as:
Depression
Anxiety
Grief, loss, and bereavement
Caregiver stress
Chronic illness

We also support adults who may be experiencing emotional or adjustment-related challenges connected to traumatic brain injury, ADHD, dementia, stroke-related changes, developmental disabilities, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other cognitive, neurological, or disability-related needs.
Our focus is not limited to a diagnosis. We focus on the person, their emotional well-being, their goals, and the support they may need to improve quality of life, strengthen coping skills, and navigate life changes.
In-Home Counseling
For clients who may have difficulty traveling to an office, Visiting Counselors of New York offers in-home counseling when available and clinically appropriate. In-home counseling allows clients to receive support in a familiar and comfortable setting.
This may be especially helpful for older adults, individuals with mobility limitations, adults managing chronic illness, or clients who feel more comfortable receiving services at home.
Telehealth Counseling
Telehealth & telephonic counseling is available for eligible clients located in New York State. Telehealth can provide a convenient and accessible option for clients who prefer remote sessions or who may have difficulty attending in-person appointments.
Telehealth services allow clients to connect with a licensed clinical social worker from a private and comfortable location.
