Best Behavioral Health Counseling & Rehabilitation in New York

Enter a realm where compassion meets transformation – welcome to Flochi Mental Health and Rehabilitation Services. I am Florence Chichester, a seasoned practitioner who weaves a unique tapestry of therapeutic modalities to guide individuals, couples, families, and groups towards healing, empowerment, and resilience.
My approach intertwines therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, Client-Centered, Family Systems, and Family Structural Therapy. However, my expertise extends beyond the therapy room, encompassing years of teaching psychology and counseling courses across diverse educational platforms.

Flochi spans a spectrum of expertise, encompassing diverse domains that include mental health and vocational rehabilitation. In the realm of mental health, I address issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and coping with disabilities, as well as helping individuals navigate interpersonal challenges and life's intricate web of stressors.

Couples and marriage counseling explores conflict resolution, the dynamics of relationships, divorce support, parenting complexities, addressing addiction issues, and providing guidance through the intricate landscape of grief and loss.

My reach extends to vital life skills, where I provide assistance in problem-solving, maintaining sobriety, honing critical thinking, effective communication, confident decision-making, resilient coping strategies, and mastering the art of independent living.

Within the sphere of vocational rehabilitation, I offer individual and group vocational career counseling, interventions to facilitate adjustments to the medical and psychosocial impacts of disability, diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as consultation on ADA compliance and rehabilitation technology.

My commitment to empowerment doesn't stop there – I also offer Job Readiness Skills Training, which includes program evaluation, interventions to overcome employment barriers, vocational expert testimony consultation, job development and placement services, along with training on ADA compliance and workplace etiquette.

My personal journey has been marked by remarkable resilience. Despite facing health challenges and personal trials, I earned my graduate degree in Applied Psychology from New York University (NYU) in 2004. Battling 9/11-related health conditions and surviving a gunshot wound, my determination led me to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board-Certified Rehabilitation Counselor.

In 2016, I established my private practice with a clear vision – to provide specialized care for individuals dealing with mental health, physical, and environmental challenges. My mission is rooted in creating a safe space where growth and healing thrive.

Flochi Mental Health and Rehabilitation Services stands as a testament to my commitment as a business owner, therapist, teacher, and advocate. My expertise resonates in Long Island City, NY, and beyond, offering a haven of comprehensive care amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
