About Us


Gary Silverstein, LCSW-R Co Founder & Executive Director	Brian Gerety, LCSW-R Co Founder & Executive Clinical Director
The Therapy Center was established in 1993 by Gary Silverstein and Brian Gerety. Brian's background includes years of work in the substance abuse field including 8 years as a Student Assistance Counselor at Fox Lane High School. Gary's experience includes work at mental health settings, creating and leading an adolescent program at Four Winds Hospital and Supervising Eliot House. While in practive practice, both recognized the limitations of being in a "solo" practice. They decided to join together and create a "center" which would offer the community a full range of clinical services "under one roof" with a private practice mentality and a client centered focus.

In 1995, they recongnized a need for an additional location and chose Brewster N.Y. They teamed with Michael DePaoli, LCSW-R, a highly respected clinician and Program Director from Four Winds Hospital. Today the Brewster office under Michael's leadership, is a thriving pratice with 15 clinicians.

In 1999, Gary and Brian met Lorraine Innes MD. Gary and Brian recognized something very special about Lorraine: "She is a psychiatrist with a social worker's heart." In 2000, Lorraine created TTC Psychiatric. TTC Psychiatric is a group of adult and child psychiatrists that consider the whole person when deciding on a treatement plan. Presently, The Therapy Center has over 40 licensed psychotherapists providing the full range of clinical services, psychological / learning evaluation services, MindBody Innovations, The Career Counseling Center, and they provide a variety of educational services to the community.
