Every brain. Every story. Every path.
We walk alongside people, not ahead of them, offering affirming, trauma-informed care that honors every brain, every body, every identity, and every path toward healing.
Hi, I’m Darbi. I offer affirming virtual therapy for teens and adults across Missouri, including Kansas City and surrounding areas. I work with neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and chronically ill folks who are tired of being corrected instead of understood. Here, you’ll be met with curiosity, not judgment. We’ll walk your path together, at your pace, with plenty of room to be exactly who you are.
I’m so glad you found your way here, whether you’re looking for support for yourself or for someone you care about. Reaching out isn’t always easy. Sometimes the hardest part is believing you’re allowed to take up the space at all. And yet, here you are.
I believe therapy works best when I walk alongside you, not ahead of you. You set the direction and the pace. I bring curiosity, care, and clinical depth. Together, we make room for all of you: your brain, your body, your identity, and your story. Nothing here needs fixing. Everything here deserves understanding.
I offer affirming, trauma-informed virtual therapy to clients across Missouri, including Kansas City and surrounding areas. My services include individual therapy, couples therapy, and autism and ADHD assessments for adults.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), EMDR-Certified Therapist, and Certified Therapeutic Game Master (TA-TTRPG), trained to bring the healing power of story and play into real clinical work.
Are you seeking a safe space to explore your emotions and find inner peace?
At Walking With Wildflowers, our work together starts with you: your story, your hopes, and the way you experience the world. I meet people with curiosity, not correction. That means we get to wonder about what’s happening for you instead of rushing to label it, fix it, or make it fit someone else’s idea of “better.”
Together, we’ll make space for the hard things and the good things, often in the same session. We’ll look at the strengths you’ve been carrying all along, and we’ll find ways of living that feel more like you, with more ease, more rest, and more joy.
There’s no right pace and no right way to heal. Whether you’ve been in therapy for years or this is your very first step, you’re welcome here exactly as you are, not as you’re expected to be.
Core Values
-
These values shape every session, every assessment, and every conversation at Walking With Wildflowers. They’re the promises I make to you about how you’ll be treated here and what you can expect as we walk this path together.
-
We approach every person with wonder, not judgment.
-
We’re companions on the path, not guides who walk ahead.
-
Neurodivergent minds, disabled and chronically ill bodies, and LGBTQ+ identities are whole, not broken.
-
Healing honors the whole person: their history, identity, and context.
-
Play, creativity, and imagination are powerful paths to healing.
This space might be for you if…
You’ve spent years masking, performing “okay,” and wondering why things that seem easy for everyone else take so much more out of you. Maybe you’re autistic, ADHD, or just starting to suspect you might be. Maybe you’re queer, trans, or nonbinary and tired of explaining your identity before you can even get to what you came in for. Maybe you’re living with chronic illness and worn out from justifying your limits to people who don’t understand.
Maybe you’re breaking generational cycles: parenting differently than you were parented, or learning to rest instead of pushing through the way you were taught. Maybe you’re a teen who’d rather roll dice than fill out a feelings worksheet, or an adult finally ready to stop guessing and start understanding yourself.
If you’re looking for a therapist who won’t flinch at your special interests, your stim toys, your flare-up days, your pronouns, or your need to pace while you talk, you’re exactly who I built this practice for. Every brain, every body, every identity, and every path is welcome here.

Neuroaffirming Autism & ADHD Assessments
Virtual Autism & ADHD Assessments for Adults Anywhere in MissouriMaybe you've spent years wondering why things that seem easy for everyone else take so much more out of you. Maybe someone in your life gently suggested you might be autistic, or ADHD, or both — and it's been sitting in the back of your mind ever since.
My assessments are built for adults who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding themselves — without the years-long waitlists or the clinical coldness that so often comes with traditional evaluation processes. Using comprehensive, evidence-based tools like the MIGDAS-2 and ADHDT-2, as well as masking screeners, I offer a personalized, affirming evaluation experience led by a therapist who is neurodivergent herself.
Comprehensive, standardized assessment tools tailored to how autism and ADHD actually show up in adults — including those who mask well
Verbal feedback session to walk through your results together, not just a report dropped in your inbox
Tiered packages so you can choose the depth of support that fits your needs and budget
Private pay, virtual, Missouri-wide — flexible payment plans available
Optional follow-up consultations if you have more questions after your results
This isn't about fitting you into a box. It's about giving you language and clarity for what you've likely already known about yourself for a long time.
Therapeutic D&D
Where healing takes the shape of adventure — building real-world skills through story, connection, and play
Therapeutic D&D: Where Story Becomes Skill-Building
Therapeutic D&D uses collaborative storytelling as a container for real, meaningful growth. Through character creation, shared adventure, and problem-solving, teens build skills like emotional regulation, communication, and connection — all while doing something that genuinely feels fun instead of clinical.
I currently offer therapeutic D&D groups for teens, run in a small-party format designed to feel safe and welcoming. No prior D&D experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to roll the dice.
