YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

I’m Dr. Arlen McClellan.

I'm a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing in Chelsea, Manhattan. The patients who end up on my table have often tried what feels like everything before they come to me. They’re tired of feeling like no one can figure out what’s going on with them. They’re burnt out, exhausted, and in need of someone to put the pieces of their health back together.

Or sometimes, they’re just looking to feel supported in their health in ways that today’s healthcare system often doesn’t offer. They’re looking to finally feel like “wow, she’s got me. I’m in good hands”.

Whatever it is that’s bringing you to me, I’m ready to get you back to feeling like yourself. I’m ready to dig deep and peel back the layers of your health to get to the point where real healing starts. Answers, support, and true partnership with your practitioner.

I’m here for it all.

WHAT I OFFER

Ninety-minute sessions that start with me getting to know your entire health history. I treat the pattern behind your symptoms, not just the symptom you booked for.
Custom formulas built to treat your pattern, not your diagnosis. Two people with the same Western diagnosis could walk out with completely different herb prescriptions. Consultations are available in person and virtually.
For the tension you’ve been holding onto since before you can remember. The circular marks aren't bruises and they don't hurt, they're a map of where your circulation has been restricted. Usually added onto an acupuncture session.
Not the viral facial tool. Clinical gua sha is the real technique, used in TCM for centuries to work through stuck tissue, chronic pain, and stiffness. A little redness afterward means it's working.

“Working with Arlen was a complete turning point for me. I originally came in to regulate my cycle without hormones and noticed a shift almost immediately. Within a few months, my cycle was consistent again. She’s also helped me with shoulder pain, headaches, and sleep. Her presence is calm, warm, and deeply knowledgeable. I always felt truly cared for.”
