For those who carry more than most — and rarely have the space to set it down.
Giorgio Chatelain, LCSW-R
Welcome
If something is interfering with your life — your relationships, your sense of purpose, your capacity to lead or love or simply feel like yourself — it is worth exploring. In my experience, the people who reach out are rarely falling apart. More often, they are people who have held it together so well, for so long, that they have lost the thread back to themselves.
I consider it an honor and a privilege to be included in that effort.
Meet Giorgio
I am a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with over 23 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I trained at the NYU Silver School of Social Work and hold the LCSW-R — the highest clinical designation in New York State. I am licensed in both New York and Washington State, and my career spans inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health, organizational leadership, and private practice.
As a Haitian-Canadian clinician who has lived and practiced in New York City for 20 years, I bring something to this work that credentials alone cannot provide. I know what it means to navigate complex identities, to carry the weight of expectation, to build a life in a city that demands everything from you. That experience informs how I sit with clients navigating their own complex terrain — and it is not a specialty I reserve for some. It is my standard for all.
I work with a deliberately limited caseload. What I offer is not managed care. It is genuine, rigorous attention — held with full discretion, and taken seriously from the first conversation.
