A perfect approach for my child — my daughter talked about everything that worried her. It helped us through the difficult loss of her grandfather. We resolved everything in just a few sessions. She loved the experience.

Я врач-педиатр. Давно и с удовольствием сотрудничаю с командой Animago. Уникальная методика работы через персонажа очень востребована родителями дошкольников. Позволяет наладить контакт с самыми маленькими пациентами несмотря на онлайн формат. Большое спасибо за ваш труд!

My daughter has made steady progress — school started and she’s not biting her nails, she’s calm (no anxiety) and happy. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions
Where do sessions take place?
How much do sessions cost?
See our services and pricing here: https://animagokids.com/price
How long is a session?
Одно занятие длится от 30 минут. В зависимости от возраста и индивидуальных особенностей ребёнка можно скорректировать время сеанса. В занятие с ребенком также включены: краткая консультация с родителями, видеопамятка, рекомендации психолога и дидактические материалы Animago.
How do we match a psychologist for your child?
Мы просим родителей предоставить выбор Персонажа ребенку. Наша статистика показывает, что самостоятельный выбор Персонажа ребенком позитивно влияет на ход терапии или психообразовательных занятий в “Аниманго”. Персонажа можно поменять в любой момент.
What ages do you work with?
We work with children from age three, as well as teens and adults
Up to what age can a child work with an avatar character?
From ages 3 to 7–9 we recommend sessions with a character — children engage quickly and absorb information well.
Дети от 9 лет могут заинтересоваться, кто стоит за персонажем. Тогда мы честно рассказываем, что персонаж – это помощник, психолог или коуч, и что мы используем персонажа, чтобы было интереснее общаться. Выбор – работать с персонажем или без – остается за ребенком.
Can the child see the psychologist during sessions?
When the psychologist uses a Character during a child session, the child sees the Character — whose expressions, movements, and speech mirror those of the psychologist leading the session.
Can we change the Character during therapy?
Yes, at any time.
How do I book a session?
To book sessions, please fill out the form https://animagokids.com/try
How often should we have sessions?
Если у вас есть жалоба, в связи с которой качество жизни ребенка и/или семьи снижено, мы рекомендуем терапевтические занятия “Интенсив” 1-2 раза в неделю. Если Ваша цель – поддерживать ребенка в оптимальной психологической форме, то может быть достаточно 1-2 поддерживающих занятий в месяц. Для поддерживающего формата подойдет “Subscription”.
What if my child loses interest during the process?
We can change the Character, change the psychologist, offer a session freeze, or refund unused paid sessions.
How long does it take to address the concern?
It depends on the nature of the issue. Significant concerns may take several months. Once resolved, we strongly recommend “Subscription” for preventive and developmental support for your child. Non-clinical concerns may take about 1–2 months.
We invite психологам to join our team
В «Animago» we equip CBT therapists, ABA therapists, and neuropsychologists with effective tools to help children.
We give our team the support and resources they need,
so they can focus on helping their clients.
