About Echoes Within and Mental Wellness
Echoes Within is run by members of the communities we serve — people with lived experience in kink, leather, queer, and alternative lifestyles. Not therapists who only study you. We come from your world.
- We provide peer support and professional guidance from practitioners who live these experiences
- We connect you to a provider who understands your identity, relationships, and challenges
- We never base our services on your ability to pay — cost is never a barrier
- We are members of kink, leather, BDSM, LGBTQ+, poly, and ENM communities
- We create judgment-free space for scene processing, relationship dynamics, and identity exploration.


It all started with a bat…
In June 2020, our community faced a profound loss with the passing of our beloved member, known to us as Kame Bat. To describe her simply as a “giver” falls far short of capturing her spirit. She was a steadfast friend to all, ensuring no one ever felt like a stranger among us. Her kindness, generosity, and willingness to support any endeavor were boundless, and her presence was universally cherished. When she departed, she left a void in our hearts and in our community that words cannot fully convey. It was in the shadow of this loss that the vision of Echoes Within began to take shape, as a tribute to her enduring legacy.
Our Mission
Echoes Within is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental wellness, personal growth, and transformation among marginalized and alternative community members.
Our mission focuses on providing keys in reducing anxiety, building self-acceptance, fostering confidence, and providing tools for goal-setting and life transformation.

Our Experience
Our team consists entirely of individuals who are active members of kink, leather, BDSM, queer, poly, and ENM communities. We’ve faced and overcome the unique mental and emotional challenges that come with living outside mainstream norms.
We understand power exchange dynamics, poly relationship structures, scene processing, kink identity, queer and trans experiences, and the isolation of feeling misunderstood by conventional providers.
We hold diverse certifications across hypnotherapy, coaching, holistic healing, fitness, spiritual guidance, and trauma-informed care. Each client is matched with the provider who best fits their needs and identity.

At Echoes Within, we emphasize your mental wellness.
Echoes Within was founded to create a safe haven for those seeking support. Our community thrives on the idea that everyone deserves a voice and a space to express their thoughts and feelings. We emphasize the importance of mental health and strive to break the stigma associated with seeking help. Our approach is centered around compassion, understanding, and connection, ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported.

Amber“I absolutely would not be at where I am today without your approach, techniques and expertise. I’m a poster child for your direction, tools and techniques on my healing path and the help you have given me over the years. Thank you for emphasizing mental wellness in everything you do.”
