Helping adults recover and stay connected to work, family, and community life, Merakey East Lehigh Avenue is an outpatient behavioral health center for people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, addiction, serious mental illness, and other psychiatric conditions. They address symptoms affecting employment, relationships, physical health, and daily functioning through therapy, psychiatric care, medication management, and recovery planning.

Build Stability with Support

They provide individual, group, family, and specialized therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, case coordination, peer-guided services, and life-skills development. They also connect adults with healthcare, housing, transportation, benefits, and employment resources. This coordinated approach helps people manage symptoms while building the practical stability needed to sustain progress in everyday life.

Extend Recovery into Community

Located along East Lehigh Avenue, 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 carry that mission forward through person-centered treatment, practical support, independence, and hope.
