Hugh Allan

Hugh Allan, LCSW, is the founder of Move Me Brightly Therapy Practice. The practice is based in Westchester and Buffalo. Our team of five therapists brings a range of therapeutic approaches, so we can match each client with the care that fits them best.

Hugh began his professional career as a trader in the finance industry where he spent 25 years working in high pressure environments that demanded performance, resilience, and constant adaption. Through this experience, he developed a deep understanding of the emotional toll that stress, uncertainty, and demanding careers can place on individuals. Over time, he found himself drawn towards a different type of work: one centered on meaning, human connection, and helping others navigate difficult periods in their lives.

The therapists at Move Me Brightly bring their own training and approach, so you can work with someone whose style fits you.

Our team brings a range of modalities, including ACT, CBT, and DBT so your therapist can tailor the work to how you think, what you're facing, and what you value.

As the founder of Move Me Brightly, Hugh works alongside a team of compassionate therapists who share his commitment to providing exceptional, individualized care.

I believe that finding the right therapist is essential to to meaningful healing. If I am not the best fit or my availability is limited, I can connect you with a therapist at our group practice. My priority is making sure you feel supported and connected to care that matches what you are looking for, whether it's with me or another member of our team.
