Why Wayfinding?
Wayfinding is the name of this practice for a reason.
Long before compasses or GPS, people used the ocean, the stars, the wind, and their own deep sense of awareness to navigate open waters. Traditional Polynesian wayfinders trusted what they observed, what they felt, and what had been passed down. They adjusted course without panic. They paused when they needed to. They didn’t wait for certainty—they moved with care, even through uncertainty.
Wayfinding is about learning how to move through life when the path isn’t clear. It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about paying attention, adjusting when things feel off, and trusting that it’s okay not to know exactly where you’re going—as long as you keep going.
That’s how we think of therapy, too.
Most of us weren’t taught how to slow down and listen to what we need. We were taught to fit in, to push through, to act like we were fine even when we weren’t. And for people who are neurodivergent—those who think, feel, or experience the world differently—that pressure to hide or “fix” ourselves can be exhausting.
At Wayfinding Counseling, I offer something different. A place where your brain isn’t something to be corrected, but something to understand and work with. A space where you don’t have to perform or explain or prove that your struggles are real.
This is therapy that meets you where you are, not where the world thinks you should be.
We’ll talk honestly. We’ll look at what’s working and what’s not. We’ll build skills and strategies that make sense for you. But more than anything, we’ll focus on helping you feel more like yourself—less stuck, less alone, and more supported as you move forward.
You don’t have to go it alone. Whether you’re figuring out who you are, learning to manage your energy, navigating change, or parenting a child who doesn’t fit the mold, there is help. There is hope.
And you’re already on your way.
Kimberly Lackey
Hi, I’m Kim Lackey. I’m a therapist, a neurodiversity advocate, and someone who’s taken the long way home to this work—which is probably why I care so much about helping others find their way, too.
I didn’t start my career in counseling. I spent years in business, healthcare startups, and education—fields that taught me how people move through change, how systems fail them, and how connection can make all the difference. But through every role, there was a common thread: people came to me when they needed someone to talk to. Someone who would really listen.
So in my mid-forties, I went back to school and earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. It wasn’t a reinvention. It was a return—to what I’ve always been drawn to: making space for people to feel understood, supported, and less alone.
My work is especially focused on folks who don’t always feel like they fit the mold— neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults; people navigating chronic illness or burnout; parents doing their best to raise children who see the world differently. I’ve been there. I get how isolating it can feel. And I also know how powerful it is when someone finally says, “You make sense. Let’s figure this out together.”
At Wayfinding Counseling, I don’t come in with a one-size-fits-all plan. I come in with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that you already hold the pieces—we’re just going to work together to make more sense of them.
Therapy doesn’t need to feel clinical or overwhelming. It can feel like exhaling. Like clarity. Like someone sitting beside you and saying, “Let’s start here.”
And that’s exactly what we’ll do.
