Jewish Family Service of Rockland County, Inc.

Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy
JFS staffed New York State licensed social workers offer clinical services (on a sliding fee scale for those who cannot afford the full fee) to individuals having difficulty coping with day-to-day stress, as well as those who are overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. All issues are dealt with -- stage of life, chronic illness, substance abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, financial problems, marital problems, grief issues, and any number of family-related issues from parents who are locked in combat with their children (of all ages) to middle-age adults struggling with issues of meeting the changing needs of their elderly parents.
Marital and Family Counseling
JFS staffed NYS licensed social workers offer clinical services (on a sliding fee scale for those who cannot afford full fee) to couples and families who are struggling to cope with a crisis, or who are having day-to-day difficulties in their relationships and need help getting to the root of their problems, learning and developing healthy coping styles, communication skills, and adaptive ways of problem solving.

The Rhoda Bloom Kosher Food Pantry at JFS

Information and Referral
Many Rocklanders telephone JFS monthly regarding a wide variety of topics, ranging from where to find specific services to where to locate a JFS agency for a relative in another state. Sometimes our JFS intake social worker has to research a question and find the needed resources. There is no charge for this service.
