Rachel L. Blakeman, JD, LCSW-R

Rachel L. Blakeman, JD, LCSW-R sits a block from the East River, where the Upper East Side’s quiet streets meet the pulse of Manhattan’s social services network. In a field where expertise often splits between law and therapy, blending both credentials offers a rare depth—especially for clients navigating legal stressors or family systems tangled in litigation. Sessions here pivot on targeted interventions: conflict resolution coaching, court-involved family support, and structured coping strategies for high-pressure transitions. A clinical background in trauma and attachment theory frames the approach, while legal training sharpens the lens on documentation and advocacy.

The office occupies the ground floor at 240 E 76th St, New York, NY 10021—a discreet entrance on a tree-lined block east of Lexington. Walk north from 75th Street or south from 77th; the building sits between Park and Madison, steps from the 6-train at 77th. A controlled entry keeps privacy central, a practical detail given the sensitive nature of the work. Nearby cafes and libraries offer pre- or post-session respites, if time allows between one client and the next.

Booking starts with a brief intake call—no forms flicker on screens here. (212) 472-2125 connects directly to scheduling for initial consultations, sliding-scale inquiries, or sliding-fee assessments. Group workshops occasionally pop up too, centered on co-parenting during divorce or preparing children for custody evaluations—topics where legal and therapeutic systems overlap. Whether someone’s referred by a lawyer, pediatrician, or mutual aid network, the intake prioritizes clarity over paperwork.

Find Rachel L. Blakeman, JD, LCSW-R and plan your route: directions pull straight from the public map—no extra clicks needed. The block stays calm even during rush hour, a quiet counterpoint to the island’s usual tempo.
