Healing that starts where YOU 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

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

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

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We are a private-pay practice and do not accept insurance at this time. Session fees range from $150–$200 for a 60-minute session, depending on client need.

  • Private-pay therapy allows for greater flexibility and privacy in your care. Without insurance requirements, we can focus on your individual goals and needs without having to meet a diagnosis or treatment-authorization requirement for coverage.

  • Trauma therapy isn’t only for major or obvious traumatic experiences. It can also help you work through difficult experiences, relationship patterns, emotional responses, or past experiences that may still affect how you feel and function today.

  • Friends and loved ones can offer valuable support, but therapy provides something different. A therapist can offer an objective perspective, professional guidance, and evidence-based tools to help you understand patterns, work through challenges, and create meaningful change.

  • We work with individuals ages 10 and up, including teens navigating the social and emotional challenges of adolescence, working professionals managing stress and life demands, and individuals experiencing complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges.

  • We understand that things come up. We ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Late cancellations and missed appointments may be subject to a fee equal to the full session fee.

  • There’s no set timeline for therapy. It depends on your goals, needs, and progress. Some people benefit from short-term therapy, while others choose longer-term support. We’ll work together to determine what approach and pace feels right for you.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out to schedule a consultation or first appointment, and we’ll discuss what you’re looking for, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we’re a good fit
