A variety of insurance plans are accepted and a sliding scale is offered for those without insurance. Requests for service are responded to promptly within 24 hours.
History
The RDC Center began in 1991, after Catholic Charities, a long-standing Counseling Service, closed
its White Plains office, leaving a void of affordable counseling services in the White Plains and surrounding communities. Recognizing the continued need for this service, one of the counselors explored the idea of offering their counseling at another site in White Plains. Thus the RDC Center for Counseling & Human Development was born at 52 N. Broadway, the former Good Counsel Campus, where it continues today, 26 years later.
