Located in Katonah, a peaceful community approximately 75 minutes from New York City, Four Winds Westchester provides specialized care for children ages 5 and older, teenagers, and adults facing mental health challenges at its 88-bed private psychiatric facility. The center employs individualized treatment strategies that encompass cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and medication management. Their residential, day, and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs hold accreditation from the Joint Commission and are licensed by the state of New York. Residents are permitted to use cell phones and can engage in Zoom calls at the end of each day. Four Winds operates 24/7, accepting clients at any time, including those admitted involuntarily. The name Four Winds is inspired by a biblical passage from Ezekiel 37:9-10, which speaks of a divine message: "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: 'Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.'” The passage describes a miraculous revival where breath enters the slain, prompting their resurrection as a powerful force. For adults, Four Winds provides residential, day, and IOP services. Adolescents can access residential and day programs, while children are served with residential care. The facility boasts distinct areas for children and adolescents, with educational components integrated into their spaces. Up to two adult visitors can meet with residents each week by prior appointment for a one-hour visit. If on-site visits are not feasible, family and friends can connect through Zoom.
The center provides care for mental health disorders alongside related substance use challenges. Here, you will experience personalized, team-based therapy that focuses on both areas to promote comprehensive recovery.
Four Winds is equipped to work with various insurance providers, including Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield, New York State Medicaid for individuals under 22 and over 65, as well as Managed Medicaid for all age groups, and Medicare.
