Cristin McKenna, LMSW

Upper Manhattan feels quieter above 96th Street, but the need for support doesn’t thin out. Cristin McKenna, LMSW keeps an office in the Broadway corridor, just past the subway hum of the 1 train. Therapy here can mean individual sessions, couples work, or family mediation—all framed by the same license: a clinical social worker navigating the city’s emotional currents without fanfare.

You’ll find the practice at 2578 Broadway Suite 536, a building that blends into the street’s mix of pre-war facades and newer storefronts. The address places it within walking distance of Columbia’s campus and Riverside Park, a stretch where students, longtime residents, and newcomers often cross paths. Crisis intervention, grief counseling, and stress management are part of the conversation, though the specifics stay between practitioner and client. No shingle announces urgency; the quiet signage simply marks a space where questions can land.

Directions are easiest through the map link, but if you’re calling from a payphone or a borrowed phone, dial (212) 564-0480. The number rings to a voicemail that picks up after four tones—no automated menu, just a brief instruction to leave a message. Some things in New York still move at the speed of a conversation.
