The gap between capable and consistent
ADHD is rarely a question of effort or intelligence, which is exactly why it is so frustrating for the person living it and so easy to misread from the outside. The work here is practical: build systems that fit the brain you have, and deal with the years of being told you were careless.
Starting and finishing
The task is not hard. Beginning it is. We work on the actual mechanics of initiation, not more willpower.
Time and planning
Externalizing time so deadlines stop arriving as a surprise, with structures that survive a bad week.
Emotional regulation
The intensity, the crash after frustration, the rejection that lands hard. This piece gets skipped too often.
School and home
For families, the goal is fewer nightly standoffs over homework and a plan everyone has actually agreed to.
Adults who found out late
Diagnosed as a grown up, or still wondering. There is grief in that, alongside the relief.
Confidence
Years of being called lazy leaves a mark. We work on that directly, not as an afterthought.
For parents
If your child is the one coming in, you are not on the outside of the work. I will want to hear what home actually looks like on a Wednesday night, and we will build supports that you can keep up without turning every evening into a negotiation. Teens get their own space to talk, and you get a clear sense of what we are working on and how to back it up.
I am not a prescriber, so I do not manage medication. If medication is part of the picture, I work alongside whoever handles that, and I am glad to be in touch with the school as well.
Who you would be working with
Millie Chatelain, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor. New York #013500, Florida #MH27166, Massachusetts #LMHC10005627. Founder of Intersect Mental Health Counseling.
I am an Afro-Latina therapist, born and raised in the Bronx, and my work is shaped by a deep appreciation for culture and identity. I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, ADHD, racial and cultural identity, belonging, relationships and life transitions, and the kind of work stress that stops feeling temporary.
Therapy with me is not about being fixed. It is about making space to understand what you carry, where it came from, and what you want to do with it, at a pace that belongs to you. You will not have to shrink your experience or explain your whole background before we can get to work.
What happens after you reach out
I get back to you. Usually the same business day, by whichever way you asked me to. You can also book straight into my calendar if you would rather not wait for a reply.
We talk first. A short consultation where you can ask anything, including cost and scheduling, and I can hear what brings you in. There is no pressure on that call, and if I am not the right fit I will say so and point you somewhere better.
Your first session. We start where you are. You talk, I listen and ask good questions, and together we set a direction worth working toward.
Fees and scheduling
$200 for a 60 minute session. Private pay.
I am a private pay practice and I am not in network with insurance. That keeps your care between the two of us: no diagnosis required for a claim, no treatment plan sent anywhere for approval, and no limit on how long we work together other than the one that makes sense for you. If your plan has out of network benefits, ask me for a superbill and you can submit it for reimbursement.
Questions people ask me
Can you diagnose ADHD?
I can assess symptoms clinically and talk with you honestly about what I am seeing, and I will refer you for formal testing when that is what the situation calls for.
Do you work with teenagers?
Yes, adolescents and adults both. With teens I keep parents informed about the shape of the work while protecting the privacy that makes the sessions useful to them.
Do you take my insurance?
I am a private pay practice and I am not in network with any plan. Sessions are $200 for 60 minutes. If your insurance has out of network benefits, I can give you a superbill to submit for reimbursement, and I am happy to explain how that works before you commit to anything.
Do we meet in person or online?
Online, by secure video, anywhere in New York. I am also licensed in Florida and Massachusetts, so if you have moved or you split your time, your care does not have to stop. In person availability in Westchester is limited and changes, so ask me when we talk.
How long does therapy take?
That depends on what you are working on, and you are never locked in. Some people come for a season with a specific knot to untangle. Others stay longer because the work keeps opening up. We will talk openly about where you are and what still feels worth the time.
Can I check your license?
Please do. New York licenses can be verified at op.nysed.gov. Mine is Licensed Mental Health Counselor #013500, and I hold licenses in Florida and Massachusetts as well.
How do I get started?
Fill out the short form on this page or call me at (203) 826-8848. You can also book a consultation directly on my calendar. All three land in the same place.
Systems that fit the brain you have
