New Directions for Young Adults

Highly recommend New Directions for young people trying to find their way in life. The staff is excellent - dedicated professional caring. They offer an array of services from therapy to academic and job support. A team of professionals evaluates your childs needs and meet regularly to discuss their progress as well as meeting with parents regularly to keep them updated. Our son left the program more than a year ago but still uses services from a couple of members of their staff - he really clicked with them. These people really make a difference.

New Directions for Young Adults is positively changing lives one client at a time with their years of clinical experience dedication genuine kindness and support They have a multitude of services that have been professionally designed with proven results. Dr. Rubin the Founder and Executive Director of New Directions for Young Adults has a hands-on approach and oversees the entire day-to-day operation with brilliance. Dr. Rubin is a class act.Dr. Michael Kellen Clinical Psychologist is one of the finest professionals I have had the pleasure of meeting. Dr. Kellen is a superb observer assessing and offering insights on each client he works with. We are very grateful for the time hes spent in counseling our son. It has truly changed his life Thank you Dr. Kellen we appreciate your expertise and all you do.Paula Katz the Director of Vocational Services is exceptional at her role. Paula genuinely cares about all her students and will go above and beyond working tirelessly with each student as their job coach. I strongly and wholeheartedly recommended New Directions for Young Adults.

Our daughter has been at New Directions for a year now.She loves being there and is making progress. Her therapist and job coach are wonderful caring people as are her mentors and staff.

Its been a long haul but we firmly believe our son is in the best place possible for his long-term independence. Staff is wonderful and experienced. We are seeing improvement. Lots of services offered including therapy tutoring job placement assistance and social events. Our son wishes he had come here after graduating high school instead of going straight to college. Hes now getting the right amount of support to move forward.

I was a client at NDFYA for two years. Dr. Ruben was an excellent salesman who initially excited me with his promises of treating my chronic anxiety and...

The services are really bad. They only want your money. They take pictures of your apartment which is really bad. So I wouldnt recommend this program...

Our son has been with New Directions for 2 12 years. He has had some good days and some bad days. The staff is always there to support him. They help guide him to be an independent adult. There are many services available to meet every young adults needs. My son is thriving and I owe it all to the staff for working with him and our family.

Kind warm and organized program that has the best interests at heart for the students. Our adult child is thriving so happy there and has many friends learning life and social skills. The program coordinators keep us advised of how things are going and we all work together to achieve the best result possible. I am so grateful for New Directions. They have provided so much guidance and love giving our whole family new found happiness and hope for the future.

NDFYA has been a great program for our son. He has achieved maturity and independence as well as improved social skills and navigation since participating in NDFYAs multidisciplinary program. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend the program to other neurodiverse young people and their families.

New directions has helped me somewhat. I love the staff except for Dr Kellen. Dr Kellen is very manipulative and lies. His family calls were a waste of...

As a parent of a young adult in the New Directions program I simply want to say how completely satisfied I am with the program of New Directions for Young adults. Most of the young adults that are at ND are incredibly difficult to deal with. They have multiple issues and the staff is very adept at dealing with them particularly the clinical directors. Absolutely every phone call I have made has been responded to and every question answered. Success for this type of program has many measures. I measure success as the ability of my young man to live independently and increase his decision making skill to where he will be able to support himself. I am confident that with the direction of Dr.s Rubin Kellen and Harris and other staff that this will happen. They have provided consistent and structured behavior management while offering my son the independence he so desires.

I have been employed at New Directions for 4 years now and it has been such a wonderful learning growing experience.New Directions truly cares about both its clients and employees with good wages and benefits and a clean comfortable work environment. Our managers are very helpful and are always helping to ensure that we meet and exceed the expectations of our clients. Employees are also encouraged to engage and learn about our students where they come from who they are what their goals and hobbies are and so on. We never want to be considered a facility we prefer the idea of being a family Some of the doctors prefer a first name basis with the clients and staff to keep a more relaxed feel.Everyone does a little bit of everything which keeps with the family-like feel of our company creating unity. Someone is always willing to lend a hand whether it is providing assistance with an office deadline or to drive a client to the dentist with a bad toothache. The program also offers training and continuing education courses in various psychologies and the behavioral science field so growth is very much encouraged. Weekly meeting are held to keep staff informed of everything going on so no one is ever out of the loop or confused. Our doors are always open for our clients and we always have at least two people on call for any emergencies Nobody is ever truly alone someone is always just a phone call away.All in all I have never seen so many people go above and beyond in a company doing what is necessary to get the job done. I have loved my time here at New Directions and look forward to another 4 years.

New Directions is a very helpful place that has helped me stabilize my life. They have smart kind and patient employees. They helped me discover why i had issues and help me become a more productive member of society. The 7 months I spent here was a very good learning experience for me not just by helping me learn about myself but also by helping me get back into school and helping me get an internship in a field of work that I love. I give New Directions for Young Adults two big thumbs up and recommend that anyone looking for a place that will help you grow as a productive person to go and talk to them.
