Our Approach to Care

Treatment in Animo Sano Psychiatry is data-driven and evidence-based. Our treatment plans are developed in collaboration with our patients and utilize a combination of medication, therapy, and/or lifestyle modification depending on the patient’s preference.

Although our focus is on ADHD care, we also treat patients with anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, OCD, and sleep disorders as those conditions usually come in combination with ADHD.

Dr. Mina Boazak is a regular host of ADHD meetups and speaking events, sharing his knowledge, experience, and passion with our community.
