Hi, I’m Dr. Arlen.
I’m ready to get deep.

If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too. If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready, too.

But first, let me introduce myself

I graduated summa cum laude with a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute, trained under a leading fertility specialist in Connecticut, and spent years in sports medicine treating professional athletes and dancers. But none of that is why my patients stay. They stay because I actually listen.

Now I'm in New York City, and the patients I see are mostly people dealing with hormonal imbalances, fertility questions, insomnia, various types of trauma and anxiety that hasn't fully resolved no matter what they've tried. A lot of them have already been through the specialist circuit. They've done the bloodwork, tried the supplements, adjusted the diet, and still don't feel like themselves. That's usually when they find me.

MY STORY

Your body is telling you something. I'm here to listen.

Healing runs deep in my lineage. I grew up foraging herbs with my mother and learning acupressure before I ever touched a textbook. Then came an undergrad in microbiology and pre-med, and eventually a doctorate in the medicine I'd been raised around without knowing it.

So when your bloodwork comes back normal but you still feel terrible, I know where to look next. That's what this training is actually for.

WHERE IT STARTED

When I'm not in the treatment room, you can find me tending to my plants, brewing kombucha, hanging with my cat, Mango, or hiking with my partner.

Most of my patients are people who've already been through the specialist circuit. They've done the bloodwork, tried the supplements, adjusted the diet, and still don't feel like themselves. They've been told everything looks fine when nothing feels fine, or handed a diagnosis that doesn't quite explain what's going on, or just gotten tired of explaining themselves over and over to providers who only have fifteen minutes to listen.

They're not looking for a quick fix. They're looking for someone who actually listens, asks the right questions, and treats the whole picture, not just the loudest symptom. My intake sessions are long, because the questions that seem unrelated are usually the most important ones. I'm not going to rush you, and I'm not going to hand you a generic protocol. What you get from me is real attention and a treatment plan built for you specifically.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I can’t wait to meet you.

WHO I SEE

“I'm not here to be a service you use and forget. I want to be the person you text when something changes and you're not sure if it matters.”
