The Misfit Refuge Approach

At Misfit Refuge Counseling and Coaching, we are a virtual sanctuary of acceptance and support for marginalized or misunderstood neurodivergents. Through spiritually-inclusive therapy, we help teen and adult clients embrace their unique selves, find confidence in their identity, and connect with a community. Our approach is centered around the belief that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their feelings and experiences. We strive to create a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where our clients can feel heard, seen, and understood.

"You are not a misfit. You are a gift."

- Dr. Nicole LePera

Speciality Areas:

Trauma

Whether it's from childhood, the loss of relationships, neglect, spiritual abuse, or other causes, we work to help understand, rewrite, and heal from this.

Neurodivergent Adults

Everyone is unique and wonderful, and those who identify as Highly Sensitive People, Neurodivergent (Neurospicy!), or Autistic have their own wonderful gifts and needs that we find in therapy.

ADHD

We understand the executive functioning, rejection sensitivity, inattention and other facets of ADHD - on more than just a cognitive level - we work from a point of strength and understanding.

Anxiety / Depression

The core of why most people start looking for therapy, feeling anxious or depressed happens - we meet this with a non-judgmental approach, helping you to manage these thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Spirituality

Whether you need a counselor who will be open to spirituality, work through spiritual trauma with you, or just understand your spiritual needs, we are knowledgeable and open to this.

Relationships

Break ups, make ups, and glow ups - we help you at all stages of relationships to find - and love - yourself again. We help you build healthy boundaries and work through what your need are for a relationship.

Anna Dykeman, MA, LPC

Anna aims to foster a supportive, healing, and safe environment, where her clients can face the challenges they’re dealing with and overcome them by taking charge of their lives. She's a new clinician, but with her worldly and empathetic nature, she's the definition of an old soul that resonates with different people from different cultures. Her travels have taken her all over the world collecting stories (and tattoos). She specializes in helping people find love again - especially with themselves.

At Misfit Refuge Counseling, we recognize that every person is unique and that counseling is a highly individual and personalized process. We work with you to create a safe and supportive environment that meets your specific needs and goals.

The Counseling Process

Intake Process

Our Intake Session is designed to help us understand your needs and determine the best path forward for your mental health. Using questionnaires and interviews, we will work to uncover the issues you are facing and create a plan to overcome them. We believe in a strengths-based approach to therapy and will work with you to identify and build upon your unique traits. Lastly, we will discuss your therapy goals and develop a roadmap to help you achieve them.

Regular Sessions

At our counseling practice, we offer regular sessions that provide a safe and supportive space for you to work towards achieving your goals. Whether you're looking to learn new coping skills, process stressors, or work on understanding your past, I am here to help. Our 45-60 minute sessions are tailored to your unique needs, and we will work together to find a pacing that is comfortable for you.
