Therapist Profile:

Madeline Weinfeld, LCSW

SHE/HER

Founder & Clinical Director

I founded this practice based on my fundamental belief that individuality is something to be celebrated. It is a privilege to be invited into people's lives and I wanted to create a space inspired by the people I have met and will continue to meet through my practice.

I am passionate about connecting with people in an authentic way. I believe therapy has the most potential when there is a foundation of trust and genuine connection. I aim to create a safe environment fueled by a combination of my compassion and humanity paired with my expertise in the field. My style of therapy emphasizes the uniqueness of each therapeutic relationship and therefore meets you where you are, all while challenging you to grow where you want to go.

  • I graduated with distinction from Cornell University with a major in Human Development and a minor in Business. I received my Master's in Social Work from New York University's Silver School of Social Work and have since completed the required experience, trainings and testing to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

    What song always lifts your mood?

    Taylor Swift's whole catalog raises my mood. I love being able to sing along to all of the songs and love that the different albums remind me of different chapters of my life.
