Feel Stuck in Patterns you can clearly see, but can't seem to change?
Experience emotions that Feel Out of Proportion to what's actually happening?
Sabotage your own success just as things start going well?
Carry a persistent sense of Emptiness or Dissatisfaction that no one understands?
Struggle with who you really are beneath the roles you play?
Feel Haunted by Memories, dreams, or a past that won't stay in the past?
Sense that your symptoms have meanings that you haven't yet Uncovered?
If so...
We believe there is still more to discover, and that
deeper insight can change how you experience your life.
Work With An Expert Who Helps You Understand Your Patterns
Led by Andrew Anson MD, a psychiatrist trained in relational psychoanalysis, an approach that focuses on understanding how your past experiences and relationships continue to shape your thoughts, emotions, and patterns today. Psychoanalysis can feel unfamiliar at first, especially if you are used to short-term therapy, but it offers a different kind of space for deeper understanding.
If you find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling stuck in ways you cannot fully explain, or questioning why you react the way you do, psychoanalysis can help bring those underlying dynamics into awareness. Through open, ongoing conversation, Dr. Anson works collaboratively with patients to explore unconscious patterns, early experiences, and the meaning behind thoughts and emotions. This process is not about quick fixes, but about gaining clarity into the parts of yourself that have been difficult to access or understand.
Many people come to psychoanalysis feeling curious, frustrated, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of themselves. Over time, this work can lead to greater awareness, more intentional choices, and a different way of experiencing your life and relationships. Dr. Anson provides a thoughtful, supportive environment where patients can explore these deeper questions at their own pace.
Our goal is to help you better understand yourself
and the patterns that shape your life.

What our patients have to say...
Stephen
My doctor surprised me. He has a gift not only of compassion, he has an uncanny ability to zero in on the complex, unique ways your brain works and how this affects one's life. I have always fought depression. It has crippled my life, like so many others. The shame and self hatred, the burden I was to any who knew me. With a change of medication by my doctor's care and knowledge, my life has greatly improved. I reconnected with a part of myself I didn't even realize was missing. I am so thankful."
Chelsea
"My psychiatrist listened intently in our first session, taking careful note of details that even I thought insignificant. He is extremely intent on finding the correct diagnosis, and does not jump to conclusions until he has really gotten to know you. My psychologist was also extremely accommodating and attentive. She collected an enormous amount of information from me, my relatives, my spouse, and from different tests, eventually compiling it all into exactly the detailed, empirical report I wanted. The staff is responsive, the office is gorgeous, and every conversation I've had with one of the doctors has been very comfortable. Bottom line: If you want a healthcare provider who listens, takes a comprehensive account of your mind, and is not impulsive in prescribing a treatment plan, choose these folks. Their efforts have given me immense relief from many problems that I considered immutable."
Joseph
"I've been seeing my doctor for almost four years now. He has been instrumental in my recovery and progress through some very difficult situations in my life. He understands medicine very well and communicates articulately also utilizing common sense and best practices. He is perceptive and has a good memory. He is most importantly ethical and has integrity. I trust him. I value his advice and his opinion. With his guidance and help as a medical professional I continue to grow and achieve despite life's curve balls. I highly recommend Atlas Psychiatry to anyone committed to addressing their mental health.
