Borgida Mitchell

Social work offices don’t always come to mind when you think of the Upper East Side. Yet here, between the pre-war co-ops and the steady hum of 87th Street, Borgida Mitchell offers a quiet corner for guidance. The practice sits at 177 E 87th St Suite 201A, a few steps from the subway and the neighborhood’s usual retail buzz.

This isn’t therapy, but the kind of support that helps people navigate systems—whether it’s connecting with housing resources, sorting out benefits, or finding community programs. The work often bridges gaps that paperwork alone can’t close, and the office is set up to handle everything from advocacy to crisis planning. Those who’ve lived in the neighborhood long enough know how valuable a local contact can be when the city’s bureaucracy feels overwhelming.

If the address sounds familiar, it’s because the building is one of those classic Upper East Side mid-rises, the kind with a doorman and a mailroom that still feels personal. For directions, check the map. When you’re ready to reach out, call (212) 879-0357.
