West Bergen Opens New Service Center in Oakland

West Bergen Mental Healthcare, a non-profit counseling center, recently opened a satellite office in Oakland. The new facility – The West Bergen Counseling Group – is located at 3 Post Road and provides individual and group therapy for adults and children. More than 15 licensed therapists are providing counseling and psychiatric treatment at the new location from Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Established in 1963, West Bergen provides help to more than 2,600 individuals, in need, each year. Two other West Bergen centers are located at 120 Chestnut Street, Ridgewood and One Cherry Lane, Ramsey. The new Oakland site was a logical choice given the demographics of West Bergen’s clients and the wish to provide proximity and convenience. The satellite office is located at the intersection of major routes, including 208, 287 and 202.

Recently, West Bergen’s Board of Trustees formally announced the launch of a $10 million building campaign for an additional and distinctive center to be located in Oakland. The new building, along with the Ridgewood and Ramsey sites, will propel West Bergen far into the future and enable the Agency to double the number of clients served within five years.
