Psychotherapy

At Animo Sano Psychiatry, we believe that psychotherapy is a vital component of mental health care. Our in-person and virtual psychotherapy services offer a safe, confidential space for patients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Psychotherapy at Animo Sano Psychiatry

Our approach to psychotherapy is personalized and integrative, blending evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic psychotherapy, and other modalities. We work collaboratively with patients to address both immediate concerns and deeper underlying issues, promoting long-term emotional well-being.
Our therapists prioritize building strong therapeutic relationships, providing support, empathy, and guidance at every step. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges, our team is here to help.
