Welcome to a holistic approach to your mental health and wellness journey! We affirm all genders & identities, and we are of part of the LGBTQ community.

Welcome! We are happy that you are interested in a holistic approach to mental health and lifestyle. After completing a comprehensive assessment, you will work with a licensed therapist and lifestyle coach in developing an individualized treatment plan that identifies your goals and prioritizes your objectives. Our approach includes: psychotherapy, holistic lifestyle coaching, education, therapeutic massage, guided imagery, mindfulness, spirituality and somatic, psychological resourcing. We work with individuals, couples and families in our approach to well-being. Our focus is on health and positive psychology, and from that perspective, we place less importance on individual pathology (sickness), rather affirming that our "mindset and focus" approach toward ourselves and life are quite influential factors in the realization of our goals. We are Aíne Nevar, LSCSW, "The Joyful Psychotherapist". We have worked in the traditional mental health field for over 30 years. After graduating from the inaugural Master of Social Work graduate program at Washburn University in 1997, we became licensed in both Kansas and California, working in both community and private practices.
