Alana Durand, LMSW (she/her)

Staff Therapist

welcome.

This is the sign you've been looking for. If you feel stuck in your relationship, your career, or just in general: I get it. If you've been feeling anxious and disconnected, or struggling to trust your own decision-making: there is a way forward. If you have a history of traumatic relationships or complicated family dynamics: you are in the right place. I specialize in anxiety, social anxiety, trauma, dating and relationships, family dynamics, depression, career stress, and self-esteem. I'm a somatic, relational, and psychodynamic therapist.

I will guide you to to the heart of your suffering so that you can experience meaningful and lasting change. I like to integrate mindfulness-based techniques into our work in a way that honors your whole experience. I have years of experience working in the corporate world, which allows depth of insight for driven New Yorkers.

I understand the complexities of the systems in which we live. I value creativity, humor, and non-judgement. I am trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ allied, and social justice allied. You've already done the hardest part - let's get started.
