Meet Our Team
Madeline (Maddy) Sylvia Wingerath, LCSW, M.Ed.
When you’re here, YOU are the priority.
And you’re welcome to be exactly who you are.
When you work with me, we’ll SLOW DOWN and notice – really notice – what is happening for you at this moment.
We’ll embrace the glimmers of what’s working – what’s GOOD. We’ll savor it… and explore how to EXPAND it.
The key is being with joy.
The more you practice it, the more you’ll build your capacity for discomfort, as you’ll be able to harness your resources and return to equilibrium confidently.
This process will have you reclaiming and rediscovering your passions… and deepening your connections with yourself and others.
It’s time to untangle yourself from what’s no longer serving you!
Some of my background…
I earned my master’s in clinical social work from Hunter College and a master’s in education from Brooklyn College. I now practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Outside of therapy, I love to be in the woods, especially trail-running with my wackadoodle pup, Cora. And when not in the woods, I enjoy doing yoga or Capoeira (Brazilian dance fighting) with my friends.
Olivia Wingerath, LMHC, LPC, LMT
It’s hard to accept ALL of yourself.
After all, some of those parts are scary and uncomfortable. So, we abandon, neglect, or avoid them… sometimes for years.
But accepting your WHOLE identity is what you have to do to experience daily peace.
That will be the major focus of our work together.
This is a supportive, judgment-free space.
It’s where I show up for YOU.
And it’s where we’ll prioritize your expansiveness and reintegration so you can find balance and peace of mind.
As we make progress, you’ll feel more present, be more connected to the people around you, and inch closer to absolute authenticity.
Some of my background…
I started by co-creating a dance company where I produced, choreographed, and performed with my creative partner in NYC. Staying in the healing arts, I later became a massage therapist.
I transitioned to psychotherapy after recognizing that fully embracing trauma required more than just somatic work. People heal best when they are seen from a holistic perspective.
My areas of focus and expertise…
New parenting and the postpartum experience
Anxiety & Depression
LGBTQIA+ (inclusive and gender-affirming care)
OCD (Exposure Response Prevention)
Trauma
Body-related struggles
Relationships
Grief
I can’t wait to meet you!
And I want to meet YOU – just as you are right now.
Whether you’re in a relationship transition, struggling in your marriage, having parenting issues, or wanting to explore your identity, I’m here to help.
I can work with you as an individual, couple, or family.
Tell me your story.
I’m eager to hear it.
I’m also eager to help you reframe it so you can embody a new narrative for yourself.
How we view ourselves and how we got here is as important as our actual history and behavior.
Changing your self-concept can radically change your life, making you feel more confident and content in your own skin.
