Allie Vaknin

I work primarily with adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. A majority of my clinical experience has focused on serving individuals from marginalized and underserved communities across the country, including Miami, [near] Los Angeles, and New York City. As the daughter of immigrants, my multicultural background has been an asset when working with issues of identity and complex trauma.

My approach focuses on helping clients develop self-understanding and learn practical skills. I incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion techniques, which help clients become more present and less harsh on themselves. Overall, my style of counseling can be described as supportive, empowering, and insightful. I genuinely love my job, and I’m grateful for each opportunity to cross paths with, and support, a fellow human being.
