Why Westchester Patients Travel

The county is affluent and small.

Westchester is a network. Scarsdale knows Rye, Rye knows Bronxville, Bronxville knows where you work. For executives, physicians, attorneys, and their families, local treatment rarely offers the privacy that early recovery needs.

PrivacyGeographic Confidentiality

1,280 miles between your home address and your clinical file. Our admissions team handles every logistical touchpoint without requiring disclosure to anyone local.

Clinical RigorPhysician-Led · Dual Diagnosis

Board-certified psychiatric oversight. Co-occurring depression, anxiety, and trauma are treated in parallel — not after — from day one.

Why Pines for care for Westchester families

Physician-led, accredited, and built for unhurried care.

The choice of where to receive care for Westchester families matters. Patients and families weigh credentials, environment, and continuity of care alongside cost and coverage. Here is what consistently brings people to our 18,000 sq ft private clinical campus in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

Physician-ledPsychiatrist Medical Director

Medical Director Sergey Litvinov, MD — a board-certified psychiatrist — directs clinical care. Every patient is reviewed by an attending physician, not a counselor signing off on a protocol.

Westchester to Campus

Distance from Westchester to Pembroke Pines, FL.

Westchester sits 1,200+ flight miles south of our private clinical campus at 1151 Poinciana Dr. in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Westchester county airport (hpn) offers limited direct service; lga and jfk are roughly an hour by car — the typical trip runs approximately a 3-hour flight depending on traffic and time of day.

HPN, LGA, or JFK to FLL. Westchester residents typically choose LGA for the broadest direct-flight schedule. Our admissions team coordinates ground transportation from any airport or address at no cost once admission is authorized.

Most Westchester families schedule a private campus tour before admission, either in person or via the immersive 360° virtual tour. Visitation weekends are coordinated with the clinical schedule, and family therapy can be conducted in person or by HIPAA-compliant telehealth so distance does not interrupt clinical work.
