Micaela Schiff, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

You don't have to have it all figured out before you ask for help.. In fact, most people who reach out aren't sure where to start  and that's exactly where we begin. My job isn't to hand you a roadmap. It's to sit with you, understand what you're carrying, and help you find your way forward at a pace that actually feels manageable. I'm Micaela Schiff, LCSW, and I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, relationship stress, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. What makes my approach a little different is that I don't believe healing has to be purely talk-based. I often weave in writing and art-based tools for clients who want to explore their inner world in ways that go beyond words. I draw from evidence-based practices including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and bring a trauma-informed lens to everything I do  meaning you'll always feel seen, never pathologized. Therapy with me is collaborative. You set the direction; I help you navigate. Whether you're in the thick of a recent loss, overwhelmed by the weight of daily life, or simply ready to reconnect with a steadier version of yourself, there's space for all of it here. No pressure. No judgment. Just an honest, supportive partnership built around you. .

I offer individual therapy for adults and couples therapy for partners looking to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, or navigate life changes together. Sessions are available in-person sessions in New York City and via telehealth for flexibility and ease across New York, Florida, Vermont, and South Carolina. I offer a free 15-minute consultation  a low-stakes way to ask questions, get a feel for my style, and decide if we're a good fit. Reach out today to get started. On a personal note, I love to incorporate art and writing in my therapy practice when it makes sense and is something a client is interested in!
