About

A space where you can
simply be yourself.

I'm Mattie Chein, a licensed clinical social worker based in the heart of Manhattan. My practice is built on a fundamental belief: every person carries within them the capacity for healing and growth — sometimes they just need a steady, compassionate presence to help them find it.

I work with adults and couples who are navigating life's complexities — from anxiety and depression to grief, relationship struggles, and the quiet weight of feeling stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. No judgment, no rush — just genuine care and professional expertise.

How I can help you

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions in a safe, confidential environment. We'll work together to understand your patterns, build coping strategies, and cultivate the kind of inner resilience that supports lasting change.

Couples Counseling

Relationships are our most powerful source of joy and pain. I help couples rebuild communication, deepen understanding, and create a partnership where both people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Telehealth Sessions

Therapy from the comfort of your own space. I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions for those who prefer the convenience of remote therapy without sacrificing the quality of care.

My Approach

Therapy that meets you
where you are.

I draw from several evidence-based modalities — including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and attachment-based approaches — tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

01

The First Session

Think of it as a conversation, not an evaluation. We'll get to know each other, discuss what brings you in, and together we'll outline what therapy could look like for you. There's no pressure to have it all figured out.

02

Ongoing Work

Once we've established a foundation of trust, we'll dive into the patterns and themes that shape your experience. Change is rarely linear — but with patience and curiosity, real shifts are possible.

03

Your Pace, Your Goals

You set the direction. Whether your goal is symptom relief, deeper self-understanding, or stronger relationships, I'll walk alongside you with honesty, warmth, and professional care.

04

A Collaborative Partnership

I don't believe in having all the answers — I believe in asking the right questions alongside you. Therapy is a partnership, and your voice matters in every step of the process.

"Working with Mattie felt like finally being heard — truly heard — for the first time in years. She has a way of creating a space where you feel safe enough to face the things you've been avoiding."
