The Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Qlinic is the first student-run clinic focused on addressing the mental health disparities faced by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) communities in New York City.
We provide free mental health care to members of the LGBTQ+ population, including those with substance use disorders.
At the Wellness Qlinic, our clinical model integrates psychological or psychiatric therapy with team-based treatment. Patients receive care from a medical team led by resident physicians who collaborate with medical students. We strive to provide the best possible treatment through continuity and long-term follow-up.
Attending psychiatrists and psychologists are also onsite to oversee the residents and students. Our patients usually meet with more than one health care provider in the same room during their appointment.
To participate in the Wellness Qlinic, our volunteers undergo an 8-week training course that includes:
Our staff are also trained to manage the long-term care of patients under the supervision and guidance of attending physicians and residents employed at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Our free services are provided regardless of insurance status, with priority given to LGBTQ+-identifying un/under-insured patients whose treatment needs match the services we provide.
