Therapy that meets you where you are — and helps you move forward

At Misfit Minds, therapy isn’t about fixing you or forcing progress. It’s about understanding what you’ve lived through, how your nervous system adapted to survive, and finding ways to feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again. This work is shared across our practice — meaning whether you’re working with Kristen or Amanda, you’ll find the same commitment to safety, honesty, and depth.

People often reach out when they’re dealing with:

 

  • Persistent anxiety, panic, or worry that never turns off
  • Patterns from past relationships (including narcissistic or manipulative dynamics)

  • Neurodivergent experiences paired with emotional stress

  • Struggles with intimacy, boundaries, or sense of self

  • • A nervous system that feels stuck in survival mode
  • Trauma or emotional wounds that don’t feel resolved

  • Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves

  • Identity, shame, attachment, and relational pain

  • Feeling stuck in patterns you understand intellectually but can’t shift emotionally

Who We See

We work with people across a wide range of ages, identities, and lived experiences. Therapy at Misfit Minds is grounded in respect, consent, and safety — not assumptions.

Ages

  • Adolescents 13 and up

  • Adults

 

You do not need a diagnosis, a clear explanation, or the “right words” to be here.
If you’re unsure whether you’re a fit, a free consultation can help us figure that out together.

Populations & Communities

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming

  • Kink-aware / sex-positive

  • Neurodivergent-affirming

  • People navigating identity exploration or identity-related stress

  • People from marginalized or misunderstood communities

  • People who have felt dismissed, mislabeled, or unsafe in previous therapy spaces

What therapy with us feels like

While every person and session is different, most clients tell us therapy here feels:

  • Grounded and non-judgmental

  • Honest, without pressure to “perform” or be fixed

  • Focused on understanding why your reactions make sense

  • Attuned to your nervous system, not just your thoughts

  • Collaborative — you’re not being told who to be

You don’t need to have the right words. We’ll help you find them — or work without them.

Not sure where you fit?

That’s okay. Most people aren’t.

A free consultation gives you space to ask questions, get a feel for us, and decide what feels right — without pressure.

Important note

If you’re looking for rigid, manual-only therapy or quick fixes, this may not be the right space — and we’ll be honest about that. We care about fit, not just filling slots.
