Psychological Center

About Psychological Center

The Psychological Center is a Massachusetts 501(c)(3) behavioral health nonprofit operating a residential recovery program for women in Lawrence, in Essex County.

A Merrimack Valley Behavioral Health Nonprofit

The Psychological Center runs a broader range of behavioral health services beyond its residential recovery program, giving it clinical infrastructure that a stand-alone sober housing operator typically does not have. Its recovery housing work is one part of a larger community mental health mission.

A Program for Overlapping Needs

The organization built this program specifically for adult women managing substance use, mental health conditions and homelessness together, using a four-tier system meant to address problems before they become a crisis.

Serving Lawrence and Essex County

Based in Lawrence, one of the Merrimack Valley's largest cities, the Psychological Center works within a service area that includes the region's hospitals, courts and outpatient providers, resources its clinical model depends on.

Reaching the Psychological Center

Referrals and applications go through the Psychological Center directly. Given the organization's focus on co-occurring needs, referring providers should be ready to share relevant mental health and housing history at intake.
