Philosophy

Uncompromising Boutique-Style Health Care. Always.

You speak with our amazing New Patient Concierge Erin as a prospective new patient. Erin is dedicated to working closely with Dr. Hastings to ensure that you are paired with the best therapist for your needs and concerns. You communicate primarily directly with your Doctor or Therapist throughout the course of your care.

We do not think in terms of appointments, but in terms of people, and how to carefully treat the case. We do not schedule our appointments like a Pediatrician’s office or Primary Care Physician’s office. Many of our patients have had difficulty with continuity of care after starting counseling in other practices (e.g. not being able to get a second appointment for months after the initial appointment).

Our Billing Concierge Paula and our Scheduling and Patient Happiness Concierge Lidia know your insurance and needs by heart.

The environment is small and spa-inspired—not reminiscent of large group practices where you may feel like a number in a sea of fluorescent lights.

Here, you are a person (no matter how small). Your story and well-being are of utmost importance to us.

Our Approach to Life Challenges

We believe that seeking help from a Clinical Psychologist or Therapist, when you are feeling
  • down,
  • not like yourself,
  • overwhelmed,
  • confused,
  • or in any type of emotional, behavioral, psychological, or relational pain

should be AS NORMAL, AS EXPECTED, AS ACCEPTED as seeing your Primary Care Physician when you have physical symptoms, like symptoms of the flu or strep throat. 

 

We think everyone deserves to have a professional that operates as their Mental Health Primary Care Provider. Come in and get the help you need now and then return when it is time for a check-up or there are new things you'd like to address. You can count on us to be there, remember you and your story, and know your history intimately. We are especially moved when our child patients return to us during the challenges of adolescence, when our patients go off to college and pop back in, and when child/teen patients return to work on new stuff (like becoming an adult, starting their careers, or forming a family of their own).

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.”― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

Evidence Based AND Individualized Treatment

Our pledge to a boutique-style approach to your health care allows us to collaborate, consult, and stay on top of cutting-edge, Evidence Based treatments. At the same time, you are a person with specific needs and circumstances—not a number in a research study. Our boutique-style allows us to blend science and empirical approaches with the art of helping you.

Dedication to Keeping Our Therapists Happy & Whole

AMANI Clinical believes that happy, whole Doctors and Therapists provide the best care to our patients. We work very hard to ensure that our therapists have their own needs met, are respected and supported. Just like we value treating our patients as people, our therapists are also treated like people, not numbers.
