MindLAB Neuroscience serves Nassau County professionals from offices in Midtown Manhattan (31 West 34th Street, steps from Penn Station) and the Financial District (99 Wall Street). Over 306,000 Long Islanders commute to New York City jobs, earning an average annual salary of nearly $124,000 — and Nassau County’s Gold Coast and North Shore communities represent one of the highest concentrations of affluent young professionals in the United States.

The LIRR connects Nassau County directly to both MindLAB offices. The Port Washington Branch — the only LIRR line that runs directly to Penn Station without passing through Jamaica — puts Great Neck 25 minutes from Midtown and Port Washington under 40 minutes on express service. The Hempstead Branch delivers Garden City commuters in 25 to 40 minutes. The Babylon Branch reaches Rockville Centre in 33 minutes on the South Shore. Since January 2023, select trains on multiple branches also run directly to Grand Central Madison in Midtown East, giving Nassau commuters a second Manhattan terminus within walking distance of the Midtown office.

The target towns carry serious demographic weight. Garden City’s median household income is $228,807, with 64% of households earning above $150,000. Manhasset anchors the luxury North Shore, with the Americana Manhasset shopping center — Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and 60+ luxury boutiques — signaling the wealth tier of the community. Great Neck’s Kensington village was ranked second nationally among places to raise a family in 2025, with a median household income of $217,679. Cold Spring Harbor, home to the renowned Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has a median age of 36.8 — perfectly centered in MindLAB’s target demographic — and a median household income at the Census reporting ceiling of $250,001. Port Washington terminates the LIRR’s fastest branch, with 70% of residents holding a bachelor’s degree or higher and 34% holding master’s degrees.

The professional profile is heavily weighted toward financial services, with 23% of Nassau’s Manhattan-bound commuters working in finance, insurance, and real estate. The broader mix includes law, consulting, healthcare, and technology. One-third of all wages earned by Long Islanders come from New York City jobs — $37.9 billion annually.

Dining and lifestyle reflect the income tier: Peter Luger Steak House in Great Neck (the only location outside Brooklyn), waterfront dining along the North Shore, and Rockville Centre’s vibrant downtown restaurant row. The Gold Coast’s private club landscape includes North Hills Country Club, Plandome Country Club, and sailing clubs along Manhasset Bay and Cold Spring Harbor. Jones Beach State Park anchors the South Shore, while the North Shore offers harbor communities, yacht clubs, and the intellectual dimension of Cold Spring Harbor’s research campus.

Frequently Asked Questions — Nassau County

Does MindLAB Neuroscience have an office in Nassau County?

MindLAB does not have a Nassau County office. Dr. Ceruto works from two Manhattan locations — Midtown (31 West 34th Street) and Wall Street (99 Wall Street). Both are directly accessible from Nassau County via the Long Island Rail Road. The LIRR runs express service from Garden City, Great Neck, Port Washington, and Manhasset to Penn Station, placing the Midtown office within 35-50 minutes of most Gold Coast and North Shore communities.

How do I get to MindLAB's offices from Nassau County?

The fastest route is LIRR to Penn Station, which is a three-minute walk from our Midtown office at 31 West 34th Street. From the Port Washington branch (Great Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington), express trains run approximately 35 minutes. From the Oyster Bay and Hempstead branches (Garden City, Mineola), travel time is 40-50 minutes. Our Wall Street office at 99 Wall Street is accessible via subway from Penn Station. Many clients also combine in-person and virtual engagements.

Do you work with professionals who live on Long Island?

Yes. MindLAB works with Nassau County professionals who commute to Manhattan as well as those who operate locally. Dr. Ceruto's embedded model adapts to your schedule and geography. The work is structured around your life — in-person sessions at whichever Manhattan office is most convenient, combined with virtual engagement as needed. The methodology does not depend on a fixed clinical schedule.

What makes MindLAB Neuroscience different from therapy or executive coaching?

MindLAB is not therapy and not coaching. Dr. Ceruto is a neuroscientist who identifies the neural patterns driving your decisions, emotions, and behavior — then rewires them using Real-Time Neuroplasticity™. This methodology intervenes during live, high-pressure moments rather than looking backward. The change is neurological and permanent, not dependent on continued sessions or external accountability.
