Jean Milliken-Sabol, LCSW
Maternal Mental Health Specialist​​
​​​​​​
I understand the whirl wind that motherhood is. The challenges of identity, roles shifting, work, household, children and a social life can be overwhelming. Infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and being a mother all leads to hormonal shifts, trauma, and changes that can cause depression, anxiety and intrusive thoughts. It is a normal reaction to what you have been through but none the less, distressing.
You don't need to feel alone with your thoughts. We are a safe non judgmental space to see that your experience is normal. There is help to change how you are feeling.
Our practice is specially trained in this area of women's health.
My therapy approach is one of empathy and partnering with you to understand your symptoms better.
I work with you to build meaning in your life while reducing uncomfortable feelings you may be having. Together we can help you achieve your goals to move you forward.
​
I give clients tools to help them manage their difficult feelings throughout the week and to work on long term relief.​

Elisa Carlino, LCSW
Maternal Mental Health Specialist
Elisa Carlino has been devoted to women’s health for over two decades. She first began helping women with fitness, health and wellness for 14 years, while pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Services, followed by a Masters in Social Work. Elisa‘s clinical work as a social worker began with child and family counseling often working closely with moms and kids, processing trauma and family relationships.
Next, Elisa worked as a medical social worker at a cancer hospital, supporting patients through diagnosis and treatment as well as supporting family members’ of patients through diagnosis, grief, and loss. Some of her favorite work there included providing support to breast cancer patients.
Elisa then became a stay at home mom to her three kids for many years. While her kids consumed most of her time, Elisa also found a new passion of providing validation to fellow Mom friends and family around her, as she noticed the loneliness women experience when: facing infertility, miscarriage or loss of babies, postpartum feelings, and parenting struggles.
​
Elisa became a maternal mental health therapist to help women through their journey to motherhood.
​
Elisa approaches therapy as a supportive and genuine friend who can guide clients toward increasing their health, happiness and success within all their life roles, while also teaching clients how to master appropriate tools they can use for a lifetime.
Elisa understands the therapist and client relationship is extremely important in establishing rapport and trust, while having fun along the way using a little humor too!

Lindsey Huttner, LCSW
Maternal Mental Health Therapist, Owner

​
Although not a Queens native, she has fallen in love with this big beautiful borough full of green parks, delicious foods, and sandy beaches. On weekends Lindsey can be found spending time with her boys, ages 6yr and 4yrs old, husband and dog at a park or on a hiking trail.
She grew up in the Hudson Valley and moved to Westchester for college and eventually to NYC for graduate school, earning her Masters of Social Work from Fordham University.
​
​She spent four years providing intensive family therapy to those in crisis. With a deep passion for helping people through traumatic events, she sought to continue education at Adelphi University. Although it was a long drive to Long Island after work, it was well worth it when she earned her certificate of advanced trauma studies, giving her the specific training she needed to help people heal from traumatizing events. This path led to her employment with the Department of Veteran Affairs in Northport, Long Island. She spent several years working with veterans in the mental health clinic. She served as a team lead for behavioral therapy at the clinic, supervised master level interns training to become clinicians, and became a certified provider nationally by the VA in treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and couples therapy. Eventually, she was promoted to manage the women’s health program at a VA Medical Center.
She received training in maternal mental health and fell in love with helping women navigate the unexpected path to motherhood.
​
For the last 8 years she has been growing and expanding her own practice which is at the heart of her career, putting her on the map as a leading maternal mental health therapist and anxiety therapist in Queens, NY.
It is the culmination of her years of experience and training that allowed her to bring her unique style of healing to her clients, like you, here in Queens and throughout NY state now thanks to telehealth.
