Mark L. Smith, LCSW

Upper West Side conversations start quietly. Mark L. Smith, LCSW offers a practice at 140 W 79th St, where the city’s hum fades into something more deliberate. Social work in Manhattan often means navigating layers—stress, transitions, relationships—and this address anchors those discussions in a neighborhood where brownstones and subway rumbles set the pace. The work here spans individual therapy, couples counseling, and support for anxiety or depression, all framed by the kind of discretion that comes with decades of practice.

Numbers matter when the topic is personal. Reach the office at +1 212-591-2830 to schedule a session, whether the goal is managing work-life balance or untangling family dynamics.
