Yvonne LeVar

My communication style

I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner, listening for patterns and parts that need extra attention. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started out as a social worker on the streets and homeless shelters of Las Vegas and have had experience with foster care, home health and hospice, school social work, medical social work, Child Protective Services, inpatient psychiatry, and several years of private practice. I keep learning and continue to be in awe of recovery and resilience.

My goals for you

Therapy absolutely requires trust and some amount of personality/communication style fit. I encourage each person to trust themself to know what works for them and what doesn't, and to advocate for what they need. My work as a therapist is to respectfully provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer.

Our first session

Our first session involves answering any questions, clarifying goals and needs, and beginning a plan for our work together. I work with clients to help them with their relationships, coping skills, identity, mental health, and life transitions. We collaborate to create a plan that is appropriate for where each client is and what their goals may be.
