For those who carry more than most — and rarely have the space to set it down.
Chatelain Therapy, 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 across a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances. I trained at New York University and hold advanced LCSW-R licensure — the highest clinical designation in New York State. I am licensed in both New York and Washington State.
As a Haitian-Canadian clinician living and practicing in New York City for the past 20 years, I bring something to this work that credentials alone cannot provide: a deep, personal understanding of how identity, culture, and the weight of expectation shape a person's interior life. I have built my life and my practice in this city — and that particular experience of arriving somewhere, planting roots, and making it yours while carrying everything that came before informs how I sit with clients navigating their own complex terrain."
I am direct. I am honest — sometimes more honest than people initially expect. What I offer is not managed care. It is genuine, rigorous, and uncompromising attention to you and to the work.
