Maria D. Masucci, MSW, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a clinician at our Chelsea clinic who provides therapy services!

I specialize in working with clients in a clinical setting who navigate complex mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, grief, bereavement, and addiction. Many of my clients express a need for advocacy and require a compassionate voice to support them through their struggles. I am looking for individuals who are not only ready but eager to embark on a collaborative healing journey with me.

In our sessions, we will create a safe and non-judgmental space built on empathy and understanding. This environment allows clients to express their feelings openly, fostering trust and authenticity as we work together toward healing and growth. We will employ a variety of evidence-based methodologies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns; Rogerian therapy, which emphasizes the client’s perspective and promotes self-discovery; and Narrative therapy, which helps clients reframe their personal stories for empowerment. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness and meditation techniques to foster self-awareness and emotional regulation, along with holistic approaches that address the mind, body, and spirit.

I have a particular passion for advocating on behalf of individuals from marginalized and immigrant communities. As a first-generation college graduate and English learner, I understand the unique stressors that these individuals and families may face, including cultural adjustment, identity concerns, and socioeconomic challenges. By addressing these specific experiences, I aim to empower clients to navigate their circumstances with resilience and confidence.

I also advocate for individuals dealing with workplace violence and stressors, recognizing that these experiences can deeply impact mental health and overall well-being. By addressing these specific challenges, I prepare my clients to navigate their environments more effectively and build resilience against external pressures.

Drawing upon my extensive background in child protective services and family law, I advocate fiercely for the rights and well-being of the children and families I work with. My experience in education further enhances my ability to support the social and emotional needs of my young clients, ensuring their voices are heard and respected. Together, we can create a compassionate environment that promotes healing, resilience, and lasting change as we navigate the path toward recovery and wellness.

My passion lies in empowering clients to unearth their unique voices, guiding them through a transformative journey of self-discovery. I find immense joy in supporting those who feel isolated, who crave a voice, or who seek a trustworthy ally—particularly individuals from marginalized communities, immigrants navigating new landscapes, and those grappling with life’s most formidable challenges. By actively listening and offering tailored, compassionate support and treatment modalities, I help individuals navigate their personal struggles, set meaningful goals, and tap into the boundless potential that resides within them. Together, we cultivate a nurturing environment where they feel deeply validated, fortified with confidence, and inspired to pursue their aspirations. This collaborative process leads to profound growth and positive change, illuminating their paths toward a brighter future.

Having grown up in the dynamic and bustling atmosphere of Brooklyn, New York, I was enriched by a vibrant tapestry of diversity that profoundly shaped my worldview. As a bilingual clinician, my passion for my work drives me to forge meaningful partnerships with individuals on their journeys toward transformative change, inner peace, a sense of purpose, and true happiness. My education at esteemed institutions and my experience in leadership roles have equipped me with invaluable skills, but the greatest lessons have come from my parents. They instilled in me the importance of serving others and demonstrated the significant impact we can have in creating a better world.
