Chandler Belfort is the elder of Jordan Belfort's two children. She works as a licensed mental health counsellor in New York and runs her own practice. Several biography pages describe her as his son and as an actor. Neither is true.

Who is Chandler Belfort?

Chandler Belfort is an American mental health counsellor and psychotherapist. She works as Chandler Winter in professional listings. She is the elder child of Jordan Belfort and his first wife, Nadine Caridi. She has a younger brother, Carter. She holds a licence as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State, numbered 011396.

She also holds a New Jersey licence. She is not an actor, and she has no filmography of any kind.

Why do biography pages call Chandler Belfort a man?

At least one page describes a completely invented male actor of that name. That version is credited with roles in daytime television and two feature films, and is described as making his professional debut. He appears on no casting database and has no record anywhere. His birth date, filmography and career all fail verification.

That page is almost certainly where the assumption that Chandler Belfort is a man came from. Another site describes her as an investor and motivational speaker, which is equally unsupported.

What is Chandler Winter's clinical career?

She works with individuals, couples and groups, specialising in relationships, anxiety and depression. She holds a BA in Psychology from Muhlenberg College. She holds a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from NYU Steinhardt. Between July 2019 and November 2021 she worked as a mental health counsellor. She was in the private practice of Dr Sari Kaplan in New York.

She has run her own practice, Chandler Winter Counseling, since August 2021. Since April 2024 she has been Executive Director of Clinical Services at ACHEL Therapy in Manhattan. She joined that organisation as associate psychotherapist in June 2025. She is trained in the NeuroAffective Relational Model.

Where did Chandler Belfort go to school?

She attended Vistamar School in El Segundo, California, graduating in 2012. She played varsity volleyball there as an outside hitter. She then attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania for her psychology degree. She met her husband there.

Who is Chandler Belfort married to?

She married Conor Winter, a fellow student from Muhlenberg. They became engaged in December 2019. They married in 2021. She works professionally under her married name, Chandler Winter, which is why her clinical listings do not carry her maiden name.

Her father's public remarks at the wedding referred to her as his daughter.

What is Chandler Belfort's birth date?

Not verified, and no credible source publishes one. Three incompatible dates circulate across biography sites, spanning 1993 and 1994 and differing even within a single year. No primary source supports any of them. Her high school class year of 2012 is documented, which is consistent with a birth in the early 1990s.

That is an inference rather than a record, and this article will not state a date.

Is Chandler Belfort a media personality?

No. There is no evidence that she works in media. Biography pages describe her as a media personality. They also place her at Pace University and at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. None of those roles is supported by any verifiable source. She has also been described as a model and a motivational speaker.

None of that is real. Her public profile comes entirely from her father's documentaries and interviews, not from her own work.

What is NeuroAffective Relational Model?

It is a clinical framework used in psychotherapy, built around recognising patterns in the body rather than only in the mind. Therapists trained in it work with physical responses to stress and attachment as well as with reported feelings. Chandler Belfort is listed in a directory of trained practitioners. That training is not recorded in her main clinical listings, but it is listed by the training body itself.

It explains part of how her practice is framed, without describing a method she has publicly written about.

Why is Chandler Belfort hard to find under her own name?

Because her clinical work is published under her married name. Searches for her maiden name return mainly coverage connected to her father. Her professional listings return a different person entirely, because she uses Winter. That leaves very little that ties both records together under one search term.

The result is that a genuinely qualified, licensed clinician is hard to verify by name.

What should readers take from the conflicting records?

The safest reading is the one supported by a state licence register. New York State licence 011396 is verifiable, and it is what qualifies her to practise there. Everything else that is not tied to a licence, an employer or a university record should be treated as unconfirmed. That includes the height, the weight and the net worth figures on biography sites.

It also includes the acting credits, which belong to a person who does not exist.

Where does Chandler Belfort work now?

Her current role is Executive Director of Clinical Services at ACHEL Therapy in Manhattan. She has held it since April 2024. That organisation lists her on its own team page. She also runs her own private practice, which she established in August 2021.

Running a private practice alongside a directorship is unusual, and both are documented. The two roles together represent the current shape of her clinical work.

Why does Jordan Belfort's film show mention her?

His documentaries about the Wolf of Wall Street memoir include his family. His children have appeared alongside him in that coverage. Chandler is named in that context because she is his elder child. That is the origin of her appearance in search results.

Her professional record, by contrast, appears under a different surname entirely.

How does Chandler Belfort's practice actually work?

She sees individuals, couples and groups, with a focus on relationships, anxiety and depression. Her Psychology Today listing is a verified clinician profile rather than a self-submitted page. That distinction matters, because verification is what separates it from the biography sites. She describes herself in that listing in the third person, which is standard for clinical directories.

The listing also states her practice address in Manhattan. She is not a public speaker or media commentator, and she does not publish.

What is NeuroAffective Relational Model, and why does it matter here?

It is a clinical framework used in psychotherapy, built around recognising patterns in the body rather than only in the mind. Therapists trained in it work with physical responses to stress and attachment as well as reported feelings. Chandler Belfort appears in a directory of practitioners trained in the model. That directory is run by the training body rather than by her.

It is worth noting what this is not. It is not a claim of specialism beyond her listing. No public statement of hers describes her method or her client base. For a private clinician, that silence is entirely normal. It also means the professional record should be read from licence and employer documents only.

What is the risk with the Chandler Belfort name?

That a searcher finds a completely different person, or finds nothing. The invented male actor profile ranks alongside her real clinical listings. His filmography appears in search results with no supporting database entry. That is the worst version of this pattern, because it looks legitimate.

Nothing about those credits can be verified, and nothing about them is her.

Why is her professional name different from her public one?

Because she works under her married name, and her fame comes through her father's surname. Her clinical listings, her state licence and her employer's team page all use Winter. Coverage connected to her family uses Belfort. That split is why no single search term returns her whole record.

It is also why the confusion with the invented actor goes unnoticed.

Does she publish or speak publicly?

No. There is no published work, no talks and no media appearances under her name. Her only public presence is the family coverage connected to her father. That is a deliberate result of her professional route rather than a gap in it. A licensed private clinician has no reason to build a public profile.

It also means almost everything online about her is either a farm page or a name mix-up.
