Dr. Linda Daley, LCSW

Upper East Side side streets carry a quiet rhythm—brownstones line the blocks, and small storefronts blend into the residential fabric. Among them is Dr. Linda Daley, LCSW, a private practice offering mental health care without the institutional feel. Therapists in this part of the city often serve professionals, students, and long-time residents who prefer discretion over visibility, and this office fits the pattern.

Licensed clinical social workers provide talk therapy for a range of concerns: anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, life transitions, and grief. Sessions are typically scheduled weekly, though some clients adjust frequency as needs shift. The practice operates by appointment only, so calling ahead is necessary. You’ll find it at 311 E 79th St #2B, a mid-block address between Second and First Avenues.

Therapy isn’t always visible from the street, but its presence in neighborhoods like this one reflects a broader shift—more people seeking support without traveling far from home. When you’re ready to set up an initial session, the number is (917) 740-1029. No walk-ins, no front desk; just a direct line to schedule.

The map will guide you to the building entrance, where a buzzer system controls access. Directions here. Afternoons in this stretch of 79th Street feel unhurried, the kind of pace that might make the idea of therapy feel a little less daunting.
