Jennifer Silacci, LCSW-R

Upper West Side has its share of quiet offices where conversations matter more than the view. Jennifer Silacci, LCSW-R keeps one of them at 125 Riverside Drive, just off the Hudson in a building that blends into the neighborhood without fuss. Social workers here tend to focus on what people carry rather than what the walls display, and this practice follows that tradition.

In sessions, they address anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and relationship issues—topics that don’t always fit neatly into daily routines. The work often involves talk therapy, coping strategies, and sometimes just listening when the city feels too loud. Across the hall from the elevator on the first floor, Suite 1E is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it, but regulars know where to find it.

Questions or scheduling can be handled directly at (212) 627-0770. For directions, the map is available here. It’s one of those places that doesn’t need a sign to be useful.
