Why choose Alena?

Whether you are a business leader, a high-achieving professional, or someone quietly struggling with stress, anger, sadness, or emotional disconnection, this work is for you.


Many of my clients live in high-pressure environments. They are always moving, solving problems, taking care of others, and doing what needs to be done. This constant state of performance, responsibility, and self-reliance often creates emotional disconnection, burnout, anxiety, and a deep sense of dissatisfaction.


My approach helps clients reduce stress in ways that protect their health, restore their energy, and bring clarity back to their lives. I guide people to reconnect with themselves, strengthen their relationships, and rediscover meaning and emotional presence.

I combine trauma-informed mental health counseling, clinical hypnotherapy, and mindset coaching. Together, we address both practical needs and deeper healing.


As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Certified Hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists, I offer a safe, professional, and grounded space for meaningful transformation.

While I have a deep focus on working with individuals who operate from a strong sense of drive or masculine energy, I welcome all adults who are ready to heal from trauma, reduce anxiety, move through depression, and create healthier relationships.
