About Nathalee

I believe that critical to any healing space is the ability to communicate the inherent value of all those who seek support. From a young age, I found deep reward in leading and inspiring others to be their healthiest and happiest. As a young girl in the Caribbean, I formed a strong belief in the power of giving back, having received so much from so many others. This passion cultivated my drive to pursue academic and professional experiences in Social Work.  As I pursued my professional goals, I also found great joy in volunteering to support women, teaching play and craft therapy to children, mentoring budding professionals, and working with the elderly to maintain health and wellness in their golden years.  I support my clients in overcoming depression, quieting anxiety, resolving trauma, and reducing the upset of life transitions, adjustments or interruptions. I presently facilitate and lead a women's mind, body and soul support group in my community launched just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. I also oversee a short term post trauma counseling group for women that focuses on making deep mental health insights attainable and relatable for all participants

I consider one of my highest achievements to be establishing my private practice, The Care Chair. I extend to you the invitation to look both around and inside yourself to feel safe enough to assess what you are facing without judgment, for a clearer view of your circumstances.

Education and Credentials

I received my Master’s degree in Social Work at Adelphi University and received my New York State Social Work license in July 2003. My academic work included training at Brookdale Hospital psychiatric outpatient department; an experience that further solidified my desire to serve vulnerable and marginalized communities. I specialize in the use of cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma-informed and solution focused therapy. My philanthropic activities have well complimented my career of multiple high impact leadership roles in New York City’s public sector over my twenty year commitment to the City I not only cherish but call home.
