Therapy for high-achieving adults navigating anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD and Panic
You Don't Have to Keep Managing This Alone.
I'm Hafina Allen, a licensed clinical social worker specializing in anxiety, depression, and insomnia for adults who hold themselves to a high standard. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based methods, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), so you get both a supportive space and practical tools you can actually use.
I work entirely via telehealth, which means wherever you are in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut, Illinois, New Hampshire or North Dakota, quality therapy is only a click away.
"You've built a life that looks good from the outside.
I'm here for what's happening on the inside."
How I can help
I work with adults facing the challenges that come with high expectations of themselves, their work, and their lives.
-
Anxiety & perfectionism
For the overthinker who can't turn their brain off and the high-achiever whose standards are quietly exhausting them.
-
Depression & low mood
When motivation fades, joy feels distant, and going through the motions is the best you can manage right now.
-
Insomnia & sleep issues
When your body is exhausted but your mind won't stop CBT-I is the gold-standard, non-medication approach to lasting sleep.
-
OCD
When the doubt keeps coming back no matter how much you reason with it. I-CBT gets underneath the obsessive cycle rather than just managing the anxiety around it.
-
Panic disorder
When panic attacks have started shaping what you do, where you go, and what you avoid. CBT breaks the cycle so panic stops running your life.
-
Affirming care
A space where your full identity is welcomed, not just tolerated. Whether you are LGBTQ+, BIPOC, navigating faith and identity, or simply looking for a therapist who truly sees you.
