mental wellness podcast
Conversations,
Compassion,
AND Connection
…Are We Okay? hosts Dr. Madelaine Ellberger, LCSW and Jennifer Teplin, LCSW have nearly two decades of combined therapy experience and they want to let you in on a little secret: hardships, setbacks, and WTF moments pop up in everyone’s lives. That’s why they’re here—because it’s time to talk about talk therapy.
Between their clinical sessions and their day-to-day living in The Big Apple, they’ve learned that life has ups and downs no matter if you’re the one sitting in the therapist chair or if you’re the one on the therapy couch. So they thought: why not chat, laugh, and connect through those stories of growth and difficult moments? Together with the production and clinical help of their respective practices, Downtown Behavioral Wellness and Manhattan Wellness, …Are We Okay? was born to empower listeners and remind them that community is our transformative superpower.

Meet Maddy, or more commonly known by her clients as Dr. Ellberger, founder of Downtown Behavioral Wellness, a robust therapy practice established in supporting clients no matter where they are in their therapeutic journey. As a clinician with nearly a decade of experience and expertise in a handful of evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), Maddy has crafted her therapeutic style to be a blend of bold, analytical, thoughtful, and effective. Even with back-to-back client sessions every day, Maddy still emerges as a thought leader in the mental health care space and has been featured on a handful of podcasts like The World’s First Podcast with Erin & Sara Foster, The Blonde Files, Going Mental with Eileen Kelly, and Health Home Hustle, among dozens of others. She is living proof that even a busy NYC therapist can thrive and empower others both in sessions and as a trendy city gal always on the go.
