Hugh Allan

Hugh Allan

Therapist

Virtual • California


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.
