Emotional Health and Wellness
Benefit from our experience and knowledge of the specific issues that Deaf,
Hard of Hearing or Deafblind people of all ages face. For information, contact
Paul Aguirre, LCSW-R, at 917-305-7733 or email paguirre@chchearing.org.
We understand that seeking help is a significant step, and it may be
something you have been contemplating for a while. Whether for
yourself, a partner, or a child, counseling can be a challenging yet
transformative experience.
The Baker Family Emotional Health and Wellness Center is one of
New York City’s leading providers of mental health services for
both adults and children. Our multidisciplinary team is licensed by
the NYS Office of Mental Health and includes therapists fluent
in American Sign Language, primarily supporting, but not exclusively, the Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and Deaf-Blind communities.
In our confidential offices or via secure teletherapy, we work with clients and their loved ones to navigate their paths toward emotional wellness. We believe children need to feel respected, valued, and safe to thrive. We also offer support for individuals, families, couples, and groups facing issues ranging from depression and anxiety to work stress, anger, sexual orientation, gender identity, and chronic physical illness.
We are dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted by hearing challenges and fostering a nurturing therapeutic environment that encourages positive emotional growth.

We participate in many health insurance plans that cover most of the fees for psychotherapeutic services at CHC. If you don’t have coverage, our therapists will work with you to find a fee that is mutually comfortable.
Our clinicians are available for phone consultations to review clinical details, health insurance coverage, discuss the details of our referral process, and any other relevant matters. To schedule an appointment or make a referral, please contact us.
