About Alan Kao (He/Him)

Alan Kao helps children, adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults build greater stability, clarity, and confidence through thoughtful psychiatric care and medication management. At LifeStance Health, he serves patients across New Hampshire with a calm, collaborative approach that centers each person’s goals, symptoms, and day-to-day functioning. He commonly supports concerns such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, helping patients work toward meaningful progress at home, in school, at work, and in relationships.

His care is grounded in careful listening, ongoing assessment, and treatment planning that is both clinically informed and practical. Alan uses medication management alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-informed strategies to help patients better understand patterns in mood, thinking, sleep, and behavior. When appropriate, he also supports individuals navigating more complex presentations and offers care that can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Alan has experience working with children and adolescents, including teens, as well as patients from neurodiverse and identity-affirming communities. He works with individuals with autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, and LGBTQ+ patients, and he also serves additional populations. His goal is to create a respectful, supportive treatment space where patients feel understood and empowered to participate in their care.

He began practicing in 2024 and completed his education at the New York Institute of Technology and Stony Brook University. Outside of work, Alan enjoys weightlifting, which reflects the consistency and discipline he brings to his clinical practice.

For individuals and families seeking mental health treatment in New Hampshire, Alan Kao offers compassionate, evidence-based care through LifeStance Health.
