Namaste Manney, LSCSW (she/her)
Namaste is Lawrence's only Master Certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) clinician and brings a deeply integrative, brain-based approach to trauma and mental health care. ART uses guided visualization combined with rapid eye movement or bilateral stimulation to help reprocess distressing memories, reducing the emotional and physical intensity associated with past experiences. Namaste is also trained in Brainspotting, a modality that uses specific points in the visual field to access and process unresolved trauma stored in the subcortical brain. These approaches are especially effective in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Namaste has received extensive training in integrating multiple evidence-based interventions with modern neuroscience research. Her work attends not only to emotional pain, but also to the physical impacts of chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She believes meaningful healing honors both symptom relief and the preservation of each person's unique identity. Therapy with Namaste is collaborative, intentional, and focused on creating lasting growth while honoring the parts of you that make you who you are.
No single therapy modality addresses the whole person. Together, Namaste and her clients customize a thoughtful blend of therapeutic approaches to support individual mental health goals. Located in downtown Lawrence, she offers a comfortable, grounded environment designed to support safety, focus, and healing. Namaste is committed to helping clients move toward greater balance, resilience, and well-being in a way that feels both effective and deeply human.
