Getting to know Alana Kantor

I’m a licensed therapist who supports individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to my work and strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences and working toward meaningful change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and person-centered therapy to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and navigate challenges with greater confidence. I believe therapy is built on trust, authenticity, and genuine connection. My goal is to help clients identify their strengths, develop practical strategies for managing life's challenges, and build resilience, self-awareness, and lasting emotional well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When you are ready to get started, schedule an initial assessment visit (intake) through Zocdoc. After you book an appointment, a care coordinator will reach out to review your method of payment and/or insurance number and answer any initial questions you may have before our first visit.
