Recovery is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. Our substance-abuse counseling meets you without judgment, addressing both the substance use and the underlying stress, trauma or mental-health concerns that often go with it.
Who it’s for
- Alcohol and drug use concerns
- Early recovery and relapse prevention
- Co-occurring anxiety, depression or trauma (dual diagnosis)
- Rebuilding relationships, work and routine in recovery
Our approach
We combine evidence-based methods with genuine compassion, helping you build coping skills, identify triggers and create a sustainable plan for recovery — at a pace that respects where you are.
Why choose Compadre Therapy?
- Evidence-based care — we draw on CBT, DBT and REBT, matched to your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

- Bronx-based & bilingual — two convenient locations (Westchester Square & Wakefield) with care offered in English and Spanish.
- Flexible & covered — in-person, telehealth or hybrid sessions, with 20+ insurance plans accepted.
