Henry Chanin, LMSW

High performance demands internal clarity. In my work with driven professionals, I've found that the patterns sustaining success in one domain — relentless self-reliance, strategic guardedness, the ability to compartmentalize — often become the very forces eroding satisfaction in others.

Anxiety, depression, and chronic dissatisfaction are not signs of weakness. They are signals that something essential has been sidelined — often for years, often in service of achievement. Left unexamined, these tensions compound, surfacing as burnout, relational disconnection, or a persistent sense that the life you've built doesn't quite fit the person living it.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating the particular pressures of demanding careers, complex personal lives, and the weight of high expectations — both external and self-imposed. My approach draws on modern psychoanalytic theory and cognitive-behavioral methods to move beyond surface-level coping and toward genuine, structural change.

Therapy, at its best, is a rigorous collaboration. My role is not to prescribe answers but to ask the questions that reveal what you already know and haven't yet been able to act on. Together, we build the conditions for you to operate with greater intentionality — in your work, your relationships, and your sense of self.

I work with individuals on anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, burnout, substance use, and questions of identity. If you're ready for a direct, substantive process, I'd welcome the conversation.
