Alan Kahn, LPC, MD, LCPC

Alan Kahn, LPC, LCPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings decades of counseling experience with people of many ages and backgrounds. He has been licensed as a professional counselor since 1996 and holds a master’s degree from the University of Connecticut in Bridgeport, Connecticut. His training also includes professional counseling coursework through Georgia State University, Capella University, and the William Alanson White Institute for Psychotherapy.

Based in Maryland, Alan currently runs a Human Service Program at a college where he teaches students how to become effective “helpers,” including coursework in individual, family, addiction, and group counseling. Across his career, he has worked in a wide range of settings, including prisons, community mental health centers, college counseling centers, state mental hospitals, drug treatment programs, Veterans hospitals and Vet Centers, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and private practice.

Alan’s work is grounded in the belief that the client-therapist relationship is central to meaningful progress. He aims to connect in a genuine, egalitarian way and to support clients in rebuilding the stories they tell about their lives. When adversity or trauma has disrupted a person’s sense of direction, he helps clients strengthen insight, clarify what they want, and approach problems in practical, solution-focused ways. His practice commonly addresses concerns such as depression, anxiety, isolation and loneliness, meaning and life purpose, trauma-related difficulties, intimacy and relationship concerns, and issues connected to the lifespan and sexual identity. He also emphasizes straightforward, honest, caring support, with the goal of making therapy feel as real and engaged as a face-to-face consulting room.
