New Jersey’s Premier Mental Health Facility

Every Kind of Care We Offer, in One Place

Behavioral health is not one-size-fits-all. Some people need weekly therapy. Some need a clinician in their home. Some need care focused on a specific experience, like trauma or anxiety. Here is everything we offer, and how to tell what fits.

Understanding Your Options

Two Questions:
How Much Care and What Kind

Choosing care comes down to two questions: how much support you need, and what kind. You do not have to answer either one perfectly before you call. If you already know what you are looking for, the sections below will take you there.

by Level of Care

How much support you need

Testimonials

What Our Partners Are Saying

"When I refer a family, I know someone will actually call them back. Mercedes Health confirms within a day or two, every time, and they tell me what happened next instead of leaving me to wonder."

Laura Serene

Care Manager, Bergen's Promise

"What I appreciate most is that I'm not choosing between IIC and outpatient for a student. If their needs change, they stay with the same team instead of starting over somewhere new."
‍

Jonathan Savior

Counselor, Newark Public Schools

"I refer families who need Spanish-speaking clinicians more than anywhere else, and Mercedes Health has never made that an afterthought. It's built into how they work."
