Merakey Chesapeake Street

Helping young people build resilience, healthier relationships, and brighter futures, Merakey Chesapeake Street is an outpatient and community-based child and family behavioral health center for children, adolescents, young adults, and families. They address emotional difficulties, behavioral concerns, autism-related needs, school challenges, and family conflict through therapy, psychiatry, family care, and youth-centered services.

Build Skills for Everyday Life

They provide outpatient therapy and psychiatry, individual and group counseling, family-based treatment, school and community services, crisis guidance, early intervention, and transition planning. Care reflects each young person’s developmental stage, clinical needs, strengths, and family circumstances, helping them build coping skills, stronger relationships, school participation, and everyday confidence.

Create Stronger Paths Forward

Located along Chesapeake Street, this center is part of Merakey, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people, families, and communities. Merakey began in Philadelphia in 1969 as The Northwest Center, later became NHS Human Services, and has grown into a multi-state provider serving 12 states across behavioral health, autism, addiction recovery, intellectual and developmental disability, education, foster care, aging, and veteran services. At this location, they continue that mission through resilience, family involvement, practical growth, and hope for healthier futures.
