Nisha Shandal, LMSW

Social work isn’t just paperwork and case files—it’s about making real connections when people need them most. Nisha Shandal, LMSW, offers that kind of support from an office on Park Avenue, right where East Harlem’s energy meets quiet side streets. The neighborhood has always been a mix of old-school bodegas and new community spaces, and that balance shows up in how local professionals approach their work.

At 1752 Park Ave, New York, NY 10035, the focus stays on what clients actually walk in needing: counseling for anxiety, help navigating housing stress, or strategies for managing family dynamics. Many people don’t realize how much ground social workers cover—therapy sessions, crisis intervention, even advocacy for public benefits—until they’re sitting across from someone who can guide them through it. The building itself is easy to spot, sandwiched between a laundromat and a Dominican bakery, so the address is worth jotting down if you’re mapping your route.

When you’re ready to set up a session, give (212) 423-4500 a call.
