Animo means mind (Latin), soul & courage (Italian), and encouragement (animó in Spanish).
These aspects of who you are and what I hope to provide to you is embodied at Animo Counseling.
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, identity struggles, anger, or trauma, including childhood or religious trauma, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world.
There are great ways to work on ourselves, but if you are not getting to the root of where things started and shifting your body’s response to difficult triggers, change will be hard to come by. AI might give you some insight and “answers,” but it won’t fix the underlying response.
The way we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we perceive it. Asking for help and obtaining a fresh perspective with practical tools is often the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger. The more support you gain, the better equipped you will be to take on bigger challenges and achieve more successes.
