🪞About Madison

Founder & Curator of The Inner Museum
Therapeutic creative. Story analyst. Emotional explorer. Playmaker. Dog mom.

Hi, I’m Madison Mitteness—and if you’ve found your way here, welcome. I built The Inner Museum as a living collection of everything I’ve come to believe about healing: that it can be soft, playful, story-driven, and deeply creative.

I’m a graduate student in Applied Psychology with a concentration in Child, Family, and Adolescent studies, and I’ve spent years working alongside children and families in educational, therapeutic, and creative spaces. I’ve also spent years grieving. Rebuilding. Reimagining. Trying to find beauty in the most tangled moments of being human.

This site is a reflection of all the ways I process life:
✨ through storytelling and character analysis (especially my lifelong love of Wicked and Oz),
🎨 through therapeutic tools for kids that nurture confidence and emotional literacy,
🎧 through sound—voiceovers, music, and the strange magic of listening,
🏅through the movement and memory that sports gave me,
🖤 and through grief that shaped me but doesn’t define me.

I believe in turning feelings into form.
I believe in wonder as a tool for healing.
I believe in helping children, families, and creatives find their own language for what hurts, what matters, and what’s still possible.

If you’re here to explore, create, or just catch your breath—you’re in the right place.

With warmth,
Madison
