Meet The Greater Essex Team

Community outreach is an important part of Greater Essex Counseling Services. Since 2009, we have been a part of the community working hard to build relationships, that are strong and long-lasting, with our resource partners as well as members of the community. Over these years, we have provided services out of our downtown Newark office with a focus on Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Counseling (OP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP) services, and Anger Management group sessions. In that time, we have done everything we could to bring each patient to a happier, healthier and more whole life. And now we are also offering outpatient substance abuse treatments and other services in out new location at Union City, NJ.
GECS attends many community events throughout the year, which provides us with an opportunity to share our knowledge and offer assistance. Our physical presence directly on the community’s streets is important to us, as it reduces the barrier between contact with our community.
