ADHD Therapists in Federal Way, WA

I have experience providing therapy to individuals, families, couples, and groups; including outpatient mental health counseling (in-person and telehealth), community outreach, case management, and collaborating with clients other health care providers to best serve them

I specialize in helping young adults who are having difficulty with stress, transitioning to adulthood, anxiety and ADHD. Change begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship and continues through working together towards your unique goals. I believe in authenticity, real world ideas, practical tips, and warmth.

Whether through art, play, or talk, I utilize a blend of cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and trauma-informed mental health interventions for children and adolescents (ages 3+) who need support with: anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning support needs, depression, trauma/PTSD, and behavioral problems at home/school. I am also certified in providing Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based practice for children who are experiencing emotional and behavioral problems.

I offer direct and attuned therapy. I support clients in rebuilding (or establishing for the first time) trust within themselves, identifying (or reaffirming) their guiding values, and translating their hopes into action. My work focuses on Perinatal Issues (including Postpartum Depression and Anxiety), the treatment of eating disorders and disordered eating, and Adult ADHD. I value your time, energy, and resources and therefore position therapy to be solution focused. Starting therapy isn't easy, and you are brave. Reach out when you're ready.

I am the Agency Psychologist for the Center for Systematic Therapy and Research Services (CSTARS). I work full-time after a career in research (University of Washington 1987-2004) and faculty appointment (John's Hopkins, Department of Mental Health [2004-2007]). I currently focus on directing two clinical programs with Clinical Director Melissa Byrd: 1) Relapse Prevention for advanced recovery in addiction and codependency (Group and Individual), 2) Sexual Victimization recovery from childhood and young adult PTSD (Group and Individual). I conduct neurodevelopmental assessments for Dr. Stumme-Parks' work with CSTARS' ADHD clients.

I specialize in working with individuals and families struggling with Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD/ADD, Learning Disorders and other Neuropsychological or Psychological Issues.

I enjoy working with a variety of people from all walks of life. Each person comes with their own set of strengths, accomplishments, challenges, mistakes, goals, ideas, and questions. I have worked with people who have dealt with anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, emotional abuse, trauma, relationship issues, stress, low self esteem, college struggles, and life transitions, among others. I have found great joy in helping my clients work on treatment goals to feel more confident, empowered, and self-aware. I have worked with adults 18 and over, children, adolescents, and couples.

I have a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and have been working with children, families and individual adults for 25+ years. What I have learned in that time is that we all have rough patches in life. I have also learned that counseling can help, but it is the match between client and counselor that makes all the difference. Clients that match best with me are reflective and have a good sense of humor. It also helps if they have some quirky parts to their personality. I have found these traits help people get through the rough parts of life. Also, I think those traits are the best match for me because I have them too.

I work with children, caregivers, and families to support children and teens in overcoming anxiety, emotional regulation issues, depression, school refusal, and sensory processing concerns. I love helping children with big feelings through life’s inevitable changes as they struggle to manage their systems in school and at home. Serving children involves treating the entire system and collaborating with caregivers, other providers, and families. If you and your family are struggling with your child or teens mental health, I would love to see how I may be able to help!

I enjoy working with clients who want to explore their life experiences. Stepping into therapy is an acknowledgement that something isn't adding up to what you want it to be, and my passion is helping you on your journey to become who you want to be. I work with individuals aged 10 and up on issues such as depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, ADHD, autism, relationship struggles, family conflict, school struggles, existential issues, or adjustment problems. Ultimately, whatever your goal is in therapy is my goal as well. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than seeing you meet your goals and growing towards who you want to be.

Are you going through the motions, feeling overwhelmed, or barely getting by? Are you searching for a way forward but aren't sure where to start? If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, chronic pain, trauma, PTSD, and/or ADHD, I would love to help. Together we'll work to understand your experiences and develop practical skills to work with your symptoms, challenges, and strengths in new and helpful ways.

My ideal client has anxiety or a related disorder, trauma, depression or behavioral issues. Theclient with trauma may have trust issues, nightmares or flashbacks, Anxiety will cause rapid thoughts and worry that something awful is going to happen. A client with lack of focus and distractibility may have trouble being motivated and tend to procrastinate. Their goals are to have improved self-image, manage their anxieties, to feel more competent in their everyday tasks, cope with trauma, and overcome feelings of hopelessness.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, trauma, and multiple mental health diagnoses? I assist clients in healing from trauma, helping youth, adolescents, and adults cope with life stressors, and low self-esteem. I also assist individuals in identifying their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, establishing goals, empowering individuals to believe in themselves by offering compassion and support to clients in learning different coping skills to overcome life's stressors.

I have been in the mental health and social service field for 10 years. My passion is working with adolescents and adults with complex trauma, depression and anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and borderline. When clients come to me they are often going through some of the toughest moments of their lives. They are confused, vulnerable, desperate for something to change. I take a very individualized approach and walk with my clients in partnership towards their goals, healing, a recovery. The client therapist relationship is sacred and I am so honored to have the privilege to serve you and bare witness to your story.

I thrive when working with clients who are exploring gender identity, neurodivergence, and/or relationship issues. My aim is to create an open, non-judgmental and collaborative space where we can process what's going on in your life. You may be dealing with past trauma, expectations of society, your family, culture, or a religious upbringing. I believe it is imperative to have a space where you can be heard and validated as your authentic self. I utilize a social justice framework that reflects on how systems of oppression impact us. How can we cope while these systems are activating our nervous systems and dimming our spirit?

My lived experience and training merge to create a helpful skillset that has a positive impact on my work. I work with people who are neurodivergent themselves and/ or people who are trying to understand how to best support a loved one who is neurodivergent. In my work with couples and families, my clients are wanting to understand how to navigate different brain types often alongside navigating very different lived experiences, and different social backgrounds.

I recognize the significant impact of trauma on adults, children, and families. My passion is supporting parents, children, and families not only in their present healing. I aim to give insight into their own struggles to heal the inter-generational trauma and heal future generations. It stops with you. Systemic therapy looks at not just about the individual, but their family, community, the larger societal values and how that power, privilege, and inequity impacts the person in the therapy room with me.
