Anees Benferhat

Dr. Anees Benferhat, MD is a psychiatrist who takes a healing-oriented approach to working with his clients. You can see him for psychotherapy, medications, or both. If you see him for medications alone, he is happy to collaborate with your therapist. Anees works with all adults 18 and older, and he frequently works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, creativity/performance challenges, and spiritual & cultural issues.

Anees specializes in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which works to heal past traumatic experiences big and small, with a compassionate approach that helps each client unlock their own innate capacity to grow and heal. Anees is also adept in multiple other forms of psychotherapy, including practical approaches and emotions-based work. There are many paths towards healing and happiness; you and Anees will choose and walk your path together. Wherever you are is the best place to start.

The decision about whether to take medication can be complex. Anees's goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to make the right choice for yourself. He will help you make sense of your symptoms, what diagnosis you may have, and how a medication could be helpful. He will also explain which medications he recommends and why, and he will talk you through the pros and cons of each option to help you make a decision you can feel confident about. He is also available between sessions to discuss any issues you may have.
