On-site Counseling
Licensed clinicians embedded in your building — individual, group, and crisis sessions for ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

Empower U Wellness Networks partners with NYC public schools, charters, and districts to deliver culturally-competent counseling, behavioral support, and educator development — right where students already are.

Our approach
New York City students don't fit into generic care models. We design every engagement around the building, the community, and the kid sitting across from us.
Our NYC clinicians reflect the students they serve — across language, neighborhood, and lived experience.
CBT, DBT-informed groups, ABA, and trauma-focused care — matched to each student's profile and school context.
We work with bell schedules, IEP timelines, and DOE compliance — not against them.
For school leaders
We staff principals, AP's, and CSE chairs with a turn-key behavioral health partner — credentialed, supervised, and reporting outcomes quarterly.
