Why Atlas Minds Exists

“When it comes to non-traditional relationship dynamics there is a massive hole left where support should exist. I wanted to develop a place where people understand that they get to define what commitment means, what trust looks like, and where traditional couples dynamics are challenged.”

— Nick Hoenes

Start Where You Are

What brings you here?

You do not need a diagnosis or a polished explanation. Choose the sentence that feels closest.

The pattern is often the problem—not any one partner. We can slow the cycle down, understand what each person is protecting, and practice repair that creates more safety and closeness.

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Nick.

I work with LGBTQ+ couples whose relationships do not fit a traditional mold, and with individuals healing from complex PTSD. My role is not to nudge you toward convention. It is to help you build something that works for you and the people you love.

My practice is intentionally small, so I can offer the depth this work deserves.

Kind words, shared publicly.

A few words from people who have shared their experience.

Nick is awesome! He actually listens when you talk and genuinely cares about you. He always has creative solutions for problems and knows when you need help finding those solutions and when you just need someone to listen. Nick allows you the space to think for yourself and come up with your own solutions. I highly recommend him.
Nick has an incredible wealth of clinical knowledge and experience that he brings to his work along with understanding, compassion, and empathy. Great for queer folks who are interested in relational work and IFS.
Nick is an awesome therapist! Very kind and empathetic, but also can be direct when helpful. Would recommend!
