Anny Aguasvivas, DNP,PMHNP-BC

My practice is centered around providing a compassionate, patient-focused, and holistic approach to mental health care. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I specialize in treating a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, mood disorders, and many more. I believe in the power of collaboration between client and clinician to develop personalized treatment plans that are tailored to each individual's needs and goals. In my approach to therapy, I utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based therapy. These modalities are designed to help clients understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with a focus on developing healthier coping strategies. My goal is to help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life. CBT is particularly effective in addressing negative thought patterns that contribute to mental health conditions, allowing clients to reframe those thoughts and develop healthier perspectives. DBT, on the other hand, is highly effective for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, self-harm tendencies, or difficulties in interpersonal relationships. It helps clients develop skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness-based therapy incorporates practices such as meditation and awareness techniques to help clients stay present, reduce stress, and improve emotional well-being. I understand that each person is unique, and that’s why I focus on personalized care to meet the specific needs of each individual. Whether you're facing challenges related to mood, anxiety, trauma, or self-esteem, I am here to work with you in navigating these struggles and helping you achieve long-term healing and well-being. Together, we will explore not just the symptoms but also the root causes of mental health challenges, and I will support you in making sustainable changes in your life. In my practice, I work with individuals from various walks of life, including children, adolescents, adults, and families. I recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity in mental health care, and I strive to create a safe, inclusive environment where everyone feels heard, understood, and respected. I also provide specialized care for individuals dealing with childhood trauma, family conflict, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other life challenges. My approach is also rooted in the belief that mental health care should be accessible. I offer virtual therapy sessions, ensuring that clients can receive the care they need from the comfort of their homes. This makes it easier for clients with busy schedules, mobility issues, or those who may not have access to in-person therapy options to receive timely, effective care. I also offer flexible appointment times to accommodate clients' various schedules, including evening and weekend slots. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but I want you to know that you are not alone. I am here to support you every step of the way, and I work hard to create an environment of trust and collaboration. Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or have tried therapy before, my goal is to provide a supportive space where you can grow, heal, and achieve your personal goals. I am committed to ongoing education and growth as a professional and continue to stay up to date with the latest research and therapeutic approaches. My practice is based on a strong foundation of empathy, respect, and dedication to helping others. I believe in empowering individuals to take control of their mental health and make meaningful changes in their lives. If you're looking for a therapist who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and ready to work with you on your mental health journey, I encourage you to reach out. Together, we can begin the process of healing and building a brighter future. My therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration, and I am committed to working with you to address your unique challenges and support your goals.
