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.
How it usually goes
We talk about your school. What your students and staff are facing this year, what support is already in place, and where the gaps are.
I recommend a plan. The services that fit, how often, on-site or virtual, and the cost, in writing.
We get started. I coordinate with your team so support fits the school day and the people already doing this work.
Support your students and the people who teach them
Tell me about your school and we will find the right place to start.
