Brooke M. Filler, LMSW
About
Social work in Manhattan often means navigating crowded subway transfers and office towers that all look the same. Brooke M. Filler, LMSW keeps an office on 80 5th Ave, a stretch where the Village’s low-rise charm bumps up against the Financial District’s glass facades. The building sits between 13th and 14th Streets, a block that still feels like old New York even as new coffee chains move in.
On the tenth floor, the practice handles the kind of quiet crises that don’t make headlines: anxiety that shows up as insomnia, grief that lingers after the funeral, or the slow burn of loneliness in a city of eight million. Sessions are tailored for adults navigating life transitions, mood disorders, and the particular strain of urban isolation. There’s no intake form posted online, so calling ahead is the only way to set an initial appointment.
Walk-ins aren’t accepted, but the phone line at +1 212-633-9162 picks up during weekday business hours. The address—80 5th Ave New York, NY 10011—puts the office within easy reach of the 4, 5, L, and NQRW trains, though the elevator bank can bottleneck around lunchtime.
Directions are straightforward: map here. Bring a MetroCard and patience for the security desk.
