For over a decade, Grace has helped families achieve their infant feeding goals and transition as joyfully and gently as possible into parenthood. As an IBCLC, CLC, she offers families evidence-based care and support for common to complex infant feeding challenges.
Her holistic, goals-based approach to lactation support is informed by her background in midwifery and birth/postpartum doula work in NYC, North Carolina, India, and Malawi, Africa, and her work as a Women's Health Educational Consultant at Duke and UNC's School of Medicine.
She has extensive training and experience with Tethered Oral Tissues (tongue tie) and works closely with pediatricians, midwives, and other holistic providers to help families achieve optimal feeding.
“Grace entered our home precisely when we felt utterly depleted and devoid of solutions. Her arrival marked a turning point. With her departure, we found ourselves not only revitalized but empowered, armed with knowledge and a clear path ahead. Grace's expertise, straight shooter approach, and guidance were instrumental in transforming our experience. We cannot overstate the value she brought to our journey toward successful breastfeeding.”

Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or managing the transition of major life changes, the road toward personal growth looks different for everyone. I aim to create a warm environment that is safe for self-exploration, curiosity, and healing, to help clients gain insight and harness their own strengths to improve the quality of their lives. My style is empathetic, non-judgmental, and interactive, and I am a culturally inclusive, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and LGBTQ+-affirming therapist. My approach to therapy is customized to the unique needs of each client, based in psychodynamic, relational, trauma-informed training. I received my MSW from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and my BA from New York University.
I received a Masters in Social Work from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work with an additional certification in trauma informed practice. I believe that relational trauma can be healed within the context of a therapeutic relationship. I have a background in Client-Centered Therapy which approaches an individual as being unique in their strengths and potential. I also take a psychoanalytic approach to help clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidality. I am passionate about treating individuals from varying communities and helping clients be the “cycle breakers'' of intergenerational trauma. I understand the long lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences, and aim to help individuals find their own unique path toward healing.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of understanding and compassion to my role as a licensed social worker. I've had the privilege of working with clients of all ages and genders. My approach is deeply rooted in person-centered, humanistic, and holistic philosophies, enabling me to meet each individual's unique needs and circumstances. I firmly believe that mental health is integral to everyone's wellbeing, and I'm committed to providing comprehensive support to guide each client on their journey towards improved mental health. It's my honor to walk with you in this transformative process and facilitate your personal growth.
My name is Natalia and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) trauma therapist in New York. I specialize in working with survivors of domestic or intimate partner violence and individuals navigating recovery from substance use disorder/addiction. My personal connections to the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community have fueled my ability and ambition to create an encouraging and empathetic healing space for my clients. During my course of study, I’ve expanded my clinical skills and completed training programs in multiple modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
To quote one of my favorite authors:
“If you are uncomfortable—in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused —you don’t have a problem, you have a life. Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.” – Glennon Doyle
I work to create a safe therapeutic environment to support you in honoring your past, living in the present, and imagining a more empowered future. I'm motivated to work with you on any current or long standingchallenge you’re experiencing at a pace you're comfortable with. Life was never supposed to be easy, and I applaud you in taking this next step. I look forward to being on your team and a source of support for you through your journey.

Karthik Karibandi, MD, is a board-certified family physician. He is proud to serve patients throughout Lower Midtown on the east side of Manhattan in New York City at City Care Family Practice.

Dr. Chung is the founder of City Care Family Practice P.C. He was raised in Michigan near Detroit. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and obtained a Material Science and Engineering degree. He completed his medical school training at Wayne State School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan.
For the next four years he served in the US Air Force in Japan as a Family Doctor. After the Air Force, he has worked in Family Practice offices in Hawaii and New York. In private practice since 1995, he strives to bring personalized, professional care to his patients.
He practices sprinting early in the mornings so he can compete in local Masters track meets against other sprinters in his age group. He also loves to eat all kinds of foods and is always looking for new interesting restaurants to try. When he is free, he enjoys playing sports with his son.
After years of practice in Manhattan, Dr. Chung has come to the conclusion that there are a few healthcare styles that may keep you healthy or make your life easier.
Routine - Although screening cannot prevent all diseases, regular visits with a doctor you know and who knows you, is the best way to prevent diseases caused by lifestyle. Smoking, weight, lack of exercise, and lipids are basic issues addressed regularly at a Family Doctor’s office.
Network - Your connection to the healthcare system starts with your Family Doctor. Specialist referrals, labs, treatment can be obtained much more easily if you deal with a professional who sees many people with the same types of problems every day.
Comfort - It is much easier to get to the bottom of a problem with someone you know. Each time you meet a new provider it takes a while to break through the initial uncertainty.
Doctors, too, need time to know your personality in order to interpret your current symptoms. By establishing a relationship over time, problems are much simpler to address.
