YVON NIVES, LCSW, ACHT, CASAC

Along 6th Avenue in Chelsea, help unfolds in small, private offices tucked above the sidewalk. Psychotherapy surfaces here not as a clinical service but as a quiet exchange between a therapist and a client. The work is gentle; the room small, anonymous. YVON NIVES, LCSW, ACHT, CASAC occupies such a space at 412 6th Ave # 410 New York, NY 10001, where the focus is on one conversation at a time. Sometimes progress arrives through words, other times through pauses or silences—no apparatus needed.

Downstairs rumbles the city, but once the door closes, sound shifts into something controllable. Restroom access sits a few steps away, kept clean and clear. Whether the goal is clarity after loss, clarity after crisis, or simply clarity without a label, the frame stays consistent. Sessions can pivot around goals as narrow as naming a feeling or as broad as rebuilding a routine. Crisis intervention sits next to long-term care; trauma treatment beside practical coping skills.

Reaching the office takes a ride to 6th and then an elevator that opens directly into a hallway with one nameplate. Use the stairwell or the cab lift—either way, the building’s entry sequence is brief. Once upstairs, the address anchors you before the next client’s knock fades. Measures like these create clarity before the work begins.

Once the bus drops you at 6th and 23rd, plug the address into the map and step inside. Call (646) 373-5387 from the lobby if the door stays locked. For a direct line, follow steps in the building lobby. Directions are always ready at 'this map'—pinch the screen, head west, and the red pin drops precisely where you need to go.
