Dr. Anand Jayanti is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist with a passion for helping individuals and families enhance their communication and emotional understanding. Born in India and raised throughout America, Dr. Jayanti's multicultural upbringing has deeply influenced his empathetic approach to psychiatry. As a child, he was often described as a "thinker," a trait that led him to express his feelings through art and writing. However, it was during his young adulthood that he realized the importance of not only thinking, but also speaking openly about his emotions, a journey that continues to shape his professional and personal life.
Dr. Jayanti earned his medical degree from Texas A&M College of Medicine and continued his training at The University of Texas at Austin. He completed his residency at the UT Health Science Center in Tyler and pursued a fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at UT Dell in Austin.
Dr. Jayanti believes that improving communication is key to enhancing wellbeing in relationships. Throughout his life, he observed how misunderstandings between people often stemmed not from bad intentions but from a lack of tools and insights to understand and communicate their feelings. This realization drew him to the field of psychiatry, where he finds fulfillment in helping others navigate their emotional landscapes. He sees his role as both an honor and a humbling experience, as clients share their vulnerabilities with him on their journey to a more meaningful life.
Dr. Jayanti's treatment approach is centered around Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and mindfulness, both of which he has explored extracurricularly. He believes that the EFT method, with its individual and family versions, offers a fundamental understanding of emotions that can lead to lasting benefits in relationships.
Outside of his professional life, Dr. Jayanti enjoys a variety of creative and recreational activities. He writes children's poetry, draws caricatures, and reads mythology. He also stays active by working out and enjoys spending time with family and friends.
