“Alana is a wonderful listener. She has a positive aura and makes you instantly feel comfortable to speak. Her office sent out a thorough document, prior to our meeting so i knew what to expect and understand her method of approach. I am very happy I chose her. I look forward to how this will work. ”

Getting to know Alana Durand
Are you feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected? Do you find yourself struggling to trust yourself and your decision-making, unsure of what you want or are looking for in life? This is the sign you've been waiting for. You're in the right place.
I'm a trauma-informed, somatic, relational, and psychodynamic therapist who aims to get to the heart of the problem so you can experience meaningful and lasting change. I also incorporate mindfulness-based techniques into our work. My focus includes dating and relationships, social anxiety, family conflict, career stress, body image, and grief.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from New York University and a Bachelor's degree from Northeastern University. With years of experience working in the corporate world, I bring depth of insight for driven New Yorkers and understand the complexities of the systems in which we live. I value creativity, humor, and non-judgment. I am LGBTQ+, trauma-informed, and social justice allied. If this sounds like what you're looking for, I'm so excited to meet you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Your experience in therapy will be tailored to you and your goals. We can adjust and adapt as often as is needed. I am here to support YOU.

More information on payments and coverage
I do not accept insurance as an in-network provider so that I am not limited in my approach to treatment. This doesn't mean that you don't have the option to work with me! Many times, insurance companies will offer out-of-network benefits and reimburse their members for much, if not all, of my session rate. I also have some sliding scale availability depending on your current financial situation. My full session fee is comparable to other providers at $200 per session. It is very important to me that you feel supported by me in navigating this element of therapy as well - reach out to learn more or to get started.

This was my first time seeing a therapist and it was nerve wrecking. Alana was a professional and very understanding. If anyone is going through a situation and needs to talk, Alana is the perfect choice.
February 10, 2018Joshua P.Verified patient
I greatly enjoyed my visit and found Alana to be insightful, caring, and perceptive. The sessions allow me to be heard and understood while also challenging me to think in new and productive ways. Though I have not been meeting with her long, I have found our time to fulfill my hopes of what I might gain from therapy and look forward to continuing our work.

So far so good. I really appreciated her feedback and her tone of voice was very calm and it helped me relax. I was very tense going in and stressed out and full of anxiety but I think talking to her will help me in the long run.
