Therapist Profile:

Madeline Weinfeld Shill, LCSW

SHE/HER

Founder & Clinical Director

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

Madeline is passionate about connecting with people in an authentic way. She believes therapy has the most potential when there is a foundation of trust and genuine connection. Madeline aims to create a safe environment fueled by a combination of her compassion and humanity paired with her expertise in the field. Madeline’s 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.

Madeline supports clients with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions and grief. She also dedicates part of her practice to perinatal mental health, supporting women through their fertility journeys, as they try to conceive, throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. Madeline provides individual therapy, couples therapy and also offers seasonal group therapy.

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