A Nassau County-based nonprofit will be expanding with its purchase of a Hauppauge office property. 

CN Guidance and Counseling Services, headquartered in Hicksville, acquired a 12,900-square-foot office building on 1.57 acres at 50 Laser Court for $3.9 million. 

Founded in 1972, the nonprofit offers clinical treatment, counseling, and housing and support services for people living with mental health and substance abuse issues.  

CN Guidance and Counseling recently received a grant from the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) and the state’s Office of Mental Health (OMH) to create a Crisis Stabilization Center in about 6,500 square feet at its 23,000-square-foot Hicksville building at 950 South Oyster Bay Road. To make room for the new center, the organization will be moving some of its Hicksville operations to its new Hauppauge property. 

Thanks to another grant from the OMH, the new Hauppauge building will also be home to the nonprofit’s new Assertive Community Treatment team, a field-based team that works with individuals with severe mental health issues. 

“We are so excited to have acquired this building in Suffolk County because we will be able to increase access to services for people who need it the most,” Jeffrey Friedman, CEO of CN Guidance and Counseling Services, told LIBN. “Due to COVID, we have seen a tremendous increase in people accessing the mental health system and expanding our services in Suffolk will allow us to better meet the demands of our community.” 

The property at 50 Laser Court has been the home of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for the last 20 years. In January, the agency plans to relocate to 3500 Sunrise Highway in Great River, where it leased 14,500 square feet of office space. 

CN Guidance and Counseling Services expects to occupy the Hauppauge building in the first quarter of 2024. 

Jeffrey Schwartzberg and Jason Miller of Premier Commercial Real Estate represented the buyer, while Jerry Guerra of Paragon Group represented the seller, Sun Associates, in the Hauppauge sales transaction. 

David Pennetta and Stephen Cadorette of Cushman & Wakefield represented the Suffolk County Department of Health Services in its Great River lease, while landlord Feil Organization was self-represented in the transaction.
