Who This Is For

Who I see from Manhattan

I see moms in Manhattan who hold a full workday and a full family calendar in their heads. You might be answering messages during pickup, thinking about school applications at night or trying to find a corner of your apartment that belongs to you.

I am Michelle Riganti, LMSW, a licensed social worker with more than 20 years of experience and a mother of four. I make room for the part of your week that rarely gets asked about: how you are doing.

The Everyday Load

What life here can add to the load

  1. Long workdays

    Work can spill into dinner and bedtime. We can look at where you feel pulled to stay available, even when you have nothing left to give.

  2. Apartment living

    Shared rooms can mean very little time alone. Needing quiet does not mean you care less about the people you live with.

  3. School decisions

    Applications, deadlines and changing schedules can keep your mind busy long after the day ends. You can talk about the pressure without defending your choices.

  4. The commute

    The ride between work and home may feel like your only pause. I want to hear what happens when even that time fills with tasks.

A Little Room for You

What we work on

We can work on worry, parenting stress and the feeling that your own identity has slipped behind everyone else. I ask what you want more room for, then we choose a goal small enough to try during a real week.

How Sessions Fit

How video sessions fit a Manhattan week

A private room at home can work, but it is not your only option. A parked car in a parking lot may offer privacy if nobody can hear you. Please join only when you are safely parked, never while commuting.

A lunch break or time after bedtime may be worth discussing. We look for a time you can protect rather than one that requires constant rushing. Headphones, a steady connection and a device with a camera help.

With CBT, I help you notice thoughts that add pressure and consider other responses. With DBT, we practice skills for strong emotions and clearer boundaries. We check what feels useful rather than adding another assignment to your list.

Questions

Questions from Manhattan

Do I need to live in Manhattan?
No. I see anyone located in New York State during the session. Your home neighborhood does not decide whether we can work together.
What if my apartment has no quiet room?
We can discuss a private, safely parked car or another place where you will not be overheard. A public train or busy shared room would not offer that privacy.
Can we talk about school pressure?
Yes. We can sort through the worry, the comparisons and the decisions that fall to you, without assuming there is one right choice for every family.
