Together, We’re Changing the Way the World Approaches Mental Health

United for a World Where No Mind is Left Behind.
We are a nonprofit dedicated to making mental health care accessible, affordable, and stigma-free for everyone—no matter their story, struggle, or circumstance.

Meet The Team

Born from Personal Experience

Minds United was created by people who’ve walked the path of mental health struggles—who’ve hit walls, waited too long, and felt invisible in a broken system. We believe in changing that story, for good.

Founded by Dave & Amanda Ryan, Minds United was conceived with one goal: to ensure access, affordability, and awareness for anyone seeking support.

Our Core Values

  • Compassion First

    We lead with empathy.

  • Access for All

    Equity and affordability are non-negotiable.

  • Lived Experience Matters

    We amplify real stories.

  • No Shame, No Stigma

    Built by people, not just professionals.

  • Community-Led

    Every story belongs.
