We are an agency committed to quality gender-responsive, trauma-informed care to individuals experiencing serious mental illness, development disabilities, and co-occurring disorders. Metrocare programs focus on the issues that matter most in the lives of the children, families, and adults we serve.

The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Metrocare is part of the Cohen Veterans Network, a national nonprofit network of clinics designed to strengthen mental health outcomes and complement existing support for veterans and military families.

The Cohen Clinic at Metrocare staff is comprised of a diverse and multidisciplinary team of mental health providers, case managers, outreach staff, and administrative staff. We provide individually tailored, evidence-based treatments to adults, children, adolescents, couples, families, and groups. Sensitive to the specific issues faced by military families, we strongly believe in building trusting, confidential relationships with our clients, and we maintain strong ethical and legal commitments to privacy and confidentiality.
