The Dorm New York City

The Dorm New York City is a CARF-accredited young adult mental health treatment community exclusively dedicated to helping 18–30-year-olds who feel “stuck” launch independent, purposeful lives. The program is proudly family-owned, and since 2009 has helped clients navigate a wide range of mental health challenges, from depression and trauma to borderline personality disorder and psychosis. They are known as an affirming community: 53% of the client population is neurodiverse and 50% identify as LGBTQ+. (Under New York State definitions, The Dorm operates as a group practice.)

Individualized and Flexible for Young Adult Life

The Dorm’s daytime programming is exclusively available in-person and is personalized and flexible with no two schedules that are the same. AM/PM hours fit around young adult lives and goals, including students' class schedules, internships, and career tracks. Care includes evidence-based therapeutic approaches (DBT, CBT, ACT, ERP, CPT), groups, life skills and executive function coaching, family programming, nutritional and wellness support, and immersive opportunities for peer connection and belonging.

Experience Care Validated by 7 Years of Outcomes Research

The Dorm’s treatment model is rigorously evidence-based with IRB-backed outcomes that indicate that clients not only experience symptom reduction but develop the skills they need to find success in the future. Clients report 131% improved functional well-being from starting care at The Dorm and 87% of alumni are in school full-time or gainfully employed, living out their dreams and thriving.
