Joanne Messina, LMSW

A social worker bridges gaps—between needs and resources, paperwork and relief, the day-to-day and the long view. Joanne Messina, LMSW works at 61 West 23rd Street in New York, NY 10018, where private sessions help untangle threads of stress, transition, or systems that no longer fit. Whether it’s sorting out insurance claims, parenting dynamics, or workplace tension, the focus stays on practical steps and steady guidance. She meets clients for individual counseling; at times groups convene to talk through shared challenges. Crisis management, support after loss, and navigating family care demands also appear on the roster. Some sessions end with clear assignments—worksheets, referrals, or follow-up check-ins others simply provide a container for whatever shows up. The work isn’t flashy, but it’s grounded.
