Juana Miranda-Lopez, LMSW

Social work, when approached right, begins with listening more than talking. Juana Miranda-Lopez, LMSW practices in one of those Upper West Side brownstones where the block feels quiet even on busy days. Appointments here cover parenting support, anxiety management, and life transitions, with a few sliding-scale sessions mixed in for good measure.

Find the office at 160 W 86th St in New York, NY 10024, the kind of address where the A train drops you almost at the doorstep and the brownstones absorb the city’s pulse without amplifying it. Upstairs, the door is unassuming—no logo, no extra signage—just a nameplate that confirms who you’ve come to see.

For a first conversation or follow-up, the line opens at +1 212-362-8755 and stays responsive through the afternoon, a practical detail that matters when schedules shift. Some clients focus on couples counseling, others on grief or school-related stress; the frame of the work remains flexible enough for whatever weighs on a person in New York.

Parkside’s blend of families and commuters keeps the block grounded, the kind of stretch between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue where local voices speak louder than tourist chatter. If you’re heading over, the safest route is to pull up the map here: directions.
