Dale Winchell, LCSW, MD, LCSW-C

Dale Winchell is a licensed therapist based in New York who also holds licensure in Maryland. He holds LCSW and LCSW-C credentials, which are Licensed Clinical Social Worker qualifications, and an MD, noted here as a medical degree. He focuses on helping people unravel distorted thought patterns and build practical skills for daily life.

Dale's practice centers on treatment for depression, anxiety, stress, attention-deficit concerns, challenges with self-esteem, and difficulties related to borderline personality traits. His work in an Intensive Outpatient Program gave him experience supporting individuals facing serious symptoms of depression and anxiety, and he uses that background to provide structured, skills-based care.

He does not have specialized experience in addictions or substance use treatment and will recommend a different provider if those issues are the primary concern. He can, however, support mental health symptoms that occur alongside substance use while encouraging specialized treatment when appropriate.

Dale takes a compassionate, collaborative approach, partnering with clients to develop meaningful strategies for growth and improved functioning. He understands the challenges of mood disorders, impulsivity, and interpersonal dynamics, and he helps clients address isolation, family conflict, and the work of building emotional resilience. He draws on evidence-informed techniques to tailor interventions to each person's needs and aims to offer a non-judgmental, affirming space for exploring experiences and developing coping skills.
