Tina L. Pack, LMSW

Social work has a quiet presence here. Tina L. Pack, LMSW operates from a storefront on 3rd Avenue, just steps from the daily rhythms of East Harlem. The area blends residential stoops with small businesses, where neighbors often pause to chat before moving on. This stretch of the avenue feels lived-in, with bodegas and barbershops marking the corners, and the elevated Metro-North tracks casting long shadows in the afternoons.

Licensed clinical work doesn’t always come with a visible sign, but the services offered here cover common ground for many in the neighborhood. From individual counseling to family mediation, the practice addresses stress, grief, and life transitions—topics that surface in conversations across generations. Parents stopping by after school pickups might later mention needing guidance, while older residents sometimes seek support navigating healthcare or housing concerns. The work stays grounded in what people carry with them, not just what they bring to a session.

Those who prefer to call ahead can reach the office at (212) 289-6650. The number connects to a straightforward line, no automated menus, which some locals appreciate when time feels short. Appointments are scheduled directly, and the hours tend to accommodate the varied routines of a neighborhood where shifts change often. No walk-ins are accepted, so a quick call ensures someone will be available to listen.

For directions, the map pinpoints 2253 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10035, near the intersection with East 122nd Street. The building sits mid-block, where the sidewalk widens just enough for a few planters and a bike rack. If you’re coming from the subway, it’s a short walk from the 6 train at 125th Street. You’ll pass the same corner deli where everyone seems to know the morning specials by heart.
