Midwest Anxiety is a community-based program for children, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and more generalized problems involving negative thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. Unlike traditional office-based psychotherapy, we work with people in “real life” situations in their natural environments (home, school, sporting events, etc). Instead of coming to us in a stuffy office, we come visit you in your world. We believe this “hands on” approach gives us the best opportunity to see your strengths and help you overcome your struggles in the environments you live.
Our mobility allows us to work with you in "real time." No "see you in a couple weeks" for your next appointment. We work in the moments (daily if needed) and in the environments of your struggles. Understanding in real time, in your natural environments, helps us implement step-by-step Cognitive Behavioral strategies to modify negative patterns as they arise. So grab a snack, put your feet up, and will be over soon to do mental health differently ;) #mwathang
We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Premier Pediatrics to provide comprehensive behavioral health services to their patients. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting the whole health of children and families by integrating mental and behavioral care into the medical pediatric settings.
Together, we’re making it easier for families to access high-quality, compassionate mental and emotional support their children need— right where they already receive care. This partnership furthers our community-driven mission to take mental health care out of the therapy office and into the places where people live, work, play, go to school—and now, receive their medical care. Together, we’re expanding access to the care families need, where and when they need it most.
To schedule your medical care with Premier Pediatrics and behavioral health care with Midwest Anxiety, call (913) 345-9400.
5.4.3.2.1 LIFT OFF!! It’s time for us to TAKE MENTAL HEALTH OUT OF THE THERAPY OFFICES and into the WORLD. We’re taking MENTAL HEALTH PLACES IT’S NEVER GONE BEFORE. Homes, Schools, Restaurants, Concerts, Clothing Stores, Sports Fields and so many other places WE ALL LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY.
We like music. We like food. We like movies. We like sports. We like clothes. We like being goofy. We like concerts. We like to have fun, smile, let our hair down just a bit. We like many things far beyond what they consider “Mental Health.” We believe “Mental Health” is more than they describe us in the text books or the diagnosis they give us. We believe “Mental Health” is a lifestyle, not a diagnosis. IT’S TIME TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW WE DO THE MWA THANG!!
If you’re interested in DOING MENTAL HEALTH DIFFERENTLY, JUMP IN THE ROCKET SHIP. WE’RE HEADED TO THE MOON. #mwaliftoffworldtour2025 #mwatothemoon #mwathang

WANTED: We’re looking for musicians, chefs, fashionistas, athletes and anyone else who can help us take MENTAL HEALTH into places it’s never been before.
No matter if you’re five or sixty five years old, are you living the life you want to live? There was a 1 in 400 trillion chance you were born exactly who you are. Regardless of your struggles, you are more than your struggles and still have time to get the most out of this #onelife you were given.
By focusing on what you can do, rather than what you can’t, we’ll help you create the life you want to live. Whether you struggle with anxiety or depression, anger or frustration, parenting your young or adult child, or the simpler things like the madness of sitting through a red light, we’ll teach you Cognitive Behavioral skills to effectively manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
We’ll help you accept your life for what your life is. Being mindful of your good and not so good moments. Always remembering how awesome you are and not letting your struggles define you. No intention of life being “just right” or “perfect.” Just living life and letting life take it’s course with a new found skill set to make life better. No matter your life circumstances, there’s still time to live the life you want ;)

The MWA Fam! Ah…..If you know, you know. Its a MWA Thang.
We like music. We like food. We like movies. We like sports. We like clothes. We like being goofy. We like concerts. We like to have fun, smile, let our hair down just a bit. We like many things far beyond what you consider “Mental Health.” We believe “Mental Health” is more than they describe us in the text books or the diagnosis they give us. We believe “Mental Health” is a lifestyle.
We believe Everyone Struggles. Some of us struggle more than others, but everyone struggles with something. We are not perfect and don’t pretend to be. We are passionate about normalizing “Mental Health” by focusing on mental wellness, rather than mental illness. It is not us vs. the "mentally ill." It is all of us. Like physical health, we all have “Mental Health.”
We also believe we have strengths. Way more strengths than struggles. That’s where the music, food, having fun comes in. We really enjoy being who we are. We root for ourselves. We know we have to be our #1 Fan before we can be a fan of anyone else. Our motto is “JBU.” Just Be You.
If this sounds like you (or someone you would like to be), WELCOME TO THE MWA Fam. #mwafam #mwathang
First. We think you're awesome. Second. We just want you to be you. We love putting artists, bands, your everyday lunch table beat boxer on.

Go give the favorite songs in our community a listen.
