Strengthening emotional health and family wellbeing, Merakey Virginia Avenue is an outpatient behavioral health center for adults, children, adolescents, young adults, and families. They address psychiatric conditions, emotional concerns, behavioral difficulties, family conflict, and school challenges through therapy, psychiatry, medication care, and family-centered services.

Support Growth across Ages

Adult services include therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, case coordination, and recovery planning. Their youth services add outpatient therapy and psychiatry, family-based treatment, school collaboration, crisis guidance, and community care. These programs help people manage symptoms, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and make steady progress at home, school, and in the community.

Build Stronger Paths Forward

Located along Virginia 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 continue that mission through recovery-focused care, family involvement, resilience, and practical support for lasting progress.
