Who We Are

Intersect Mental Health Counseling was created with a simple belief: people are shaped by the worlds they move through, and healing should reflect that.

We offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy for adolescents and adults navigating trauma, identity, anxiety, and life transitions. Our approach is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the understanding that there is no single way to heal.

At Intersect, we take time to understand the full picture of who you are—your experiences, your environment, and the parts of yourself that may feel in conflict or unheard. Therapy here is not about fixing you. It’s about making space for understanding, connection, and change at your own pace.

Meet the Founder

Millie Chatelain, LMHC

Hi, I’m Millie, founder of Intersect Mental Health Counseling.

In our practice, we recognize that the various intersections of our lives, including race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, can influence how we move through the world and how systems of power and oppression impact our mental health. For many, this means navigating multiple layers of stress, resilience, and identity all at once.

As an Afro-Latina therapist born and raised in the Bronx, my work is shaped by a deep appreciation for culture and identity.

Our trauma informed approach helps individuals navigate complex personal, cultural, and generational experiences. We offer a space to explore the complexities of your story, build resilience, and create change in a way that feels authentic and sustainable for you.

Are you ready to give it a try?

Why is our practice called Intersect?

A term first coined by civil rights activist and legal scholar, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, intersectionality is a framework for understanding how overlapping identities such as race, gender, class, and sexuality create unique experiences of discrimination or privilege.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or curious about understanding yourself more deeply, counseling may be a helpful next step. You don’t need to be in crisis or have a specific diagnosis to benefit from therapy.

  • You may benefit from trauma-focused therapy if you notice patterns such as feeling constantly on edge, difficulty trusting others, feeling disconnected from yourself or your emotions, struggling with shame or self-worth, avoiding certain memories or situations, or finding that past experiences continue to shape your present.

  • Yes. These experiences can sometimes occur in response to stress, trauma, overwhelming life experiences, or situations where your mind has learned to protect you by creating distance from difficult emotions or memories.

  • Individual therapy sessions at Intersect Mental Health Counseling are $200 for a 60-minute session.

    As a private pay practice, we do not accept insurance directly. However, we can provide a superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement depending on your specific plan.
