Therapists in King County, WA

Do you find yourself lashing out, making poor decisions, losing hope and confidence, and it's affecting your relationships? Maybe it feels like no matter what you do, you just can't get it right. Would you like to figure out what's getting in your way? Together, I can help you find what is at the core of your struggles, so instead of wishing for change and relief you can begin a new path of meaningful change. As we get to know each other, we will build a picture of old patterns that keep you stuck. Then we'll figure out where you want to be instead and build a path with intuitive strategies, self-compassion, and confidence.

You deserve a life of self-love, compassion, and healing. I specialize in working with people experiencing major life changes (new career, new family configuration, losing a loved one, romantic relationship ending or beginning, new migration to the US), depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and adjustment issues. I often serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, plus), refugee, and immigrant communities and young adults.

www.thehealinglinck.com. I am accepting New CLIENTS! As a therapist, I don’t think therapy should be too stiff. We will build a therapeutic relationship by getting to know each other and building trust. I will be direct, compassionate, and challenge you (gently). I’m a regular person. You may hear me use a cuss word or a few or a lot. I will laugh at your jokes and I would love to meet your pets! Since I provide online therapy, that’s actually possible. I will show you how to be vulnerable and authentic by being that way myself. I will give you direct feedback. You can say whatever you want and I will listen without judgement!

Brené Brown says that disappointment happens when expectations don't meet reality. If you are expecting a therapist who offers brief, solution, or behavior-focused therapy, I am not a good fit for you. I'd rather be the Sam to your Frodo, aka "I can't carry the ring for you, but I can carry you." If you don't get that reference, then "these are not the droids you're looking for." I thrive working with the complex, quirky clients who worry they are too broken, too weird, or too much. ADHD, ASD, PTSD, and LGBTQIA clients are my jam, along with folks who have left a religious or high control group and are deconstructing. I see you.

Welcome to a nurturing space where you need not face life's challenges alone. I understand the weight of worst-case scenarios and the drowning out of reason. Life transitions can be daunting, especially if you deviate from the heteronormative path. My approach is warm, laid-back, and compassionate. Our work is based on trust, respect, and your goals.

As a woman with ADHD, do you feel that your ADHD is impacting your relationships, self-esteem, goals and/or work? Do you find yourself saying sentences like, ‘I should…, ‘Why can’t I just…’, or ‘If I wasn’t so lazy…’? What if you could find strategies that could help you manage the things that feel like they always are falling through the cracks? Women with ADHD often experience ADHD differently than the stereotypical symptoms. What if you could find validation and understanding of your experience? Whether you have been diagnosed with ADHD for years or just starting your journey, your ADHD doesn't have to feel like a burden.

Life can be isolating at times. This is especially true when you add in ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, chronic illness, and Queerness, cultural, and relationship issues. We hold so many identities and struggles that influence who we are and how we move through our place in the world. It is essential to find yourself among those identities and move into the whole version of yourself that finds comfort in the here and now. This includes finding your community and support through all that life throws at us. As a therapist, I move through sessions with a person-centered, feminist, and multicultural lens.

We have openings now. My name is Carmen Noel. I am the owner of a small multi-disciplinary practice in Kirkland. Each of our counselors has different specialty areas. We work with children, youth and adults of all ages. Some of our specialty areas include trauma, ADHD, parenting, behavioral issues, Perinatal and post partum issues, autism, injury and health related issues, OCD, depression and anxiety related disorders. Please email us to book.

I am currently accepting new clients! My areas of focus are those stuck in family attachment puzzles, trauma/stress response and ADHD difficulties. If you are self-diagnosed or formally diagnosed with ADHD, chances are you're trying to adapt in a world that isn’t designed for you. You feel that you were born with a “race car brain with bicycle breaks,” with unpredictable motivation & energy. You feel overwhelmed by the smallest tasks & tormented by deep restlessness. Whether this is ADHD, trauma or attachment difficulties, I want to help!

I specialize in supporting queer and neurodivergent adults, especially those who feel they don't quite "fit." Whether you're grappling with not feeling "queer enough" or adjusting to a late ADHD diagnosis, my approach is tailored to meet you where you are. My specialized training and lived experience allow me to understand the complexities of navigating these identities. I offer genuine, down-to-earth partnership where we'll tackle your goals while embracing our shared humanity. My goal is to foster a space where you can be fully yourself, embracing exploration, growth, and self-expression in a way that feels natural and empowering.

I blend traditional, evidence-based practices with holistic practices, such as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga (and a touch of humor!), to guide you on a path toward self-healing and understanding. I specialize in helping you manage feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety. I also provide executive function, self-regulation, and social skills support related to ADHD, autism, and other related challenges. Along with patient care, I work with parents and caretakers of children with disabilities to help them overcome everyday challenges, navigate the intricacies of special education, and discuss how to best support their child.

I offer therapy to a broad population, with specific interest and focus in relationship therapy for clients in ENM, polyamorous, CNM, or other non-traditional relationship structures. I am passionate about working with clients who are seeking support for ADHD, and have extensive training in diagnosis, symptom management, and skill development for ADHD symptoms or diagnoses. I also specialize in disordered eating, poor body image, and burnout-all of which are often co-occurring with ADHD.

The work I do is rooted in my belief that every identity has value and that our identities shape our lives, how we experience the world, and the stories we tell ourselves. I want to collaborate with you in the retelling of your personal story in a way that is more empowering. I want to acknowledge the discrimination you may have faced and honor the strength you have gained through your experiences. It is important to me that you be the guiding voice in your therapeutic journey. You are the expert in your own life, so I will follow your lead and provide the support and guidance you need to do the difficult work.

You feel overwhelmed and stuck…with disordered eating, self-criticism, traumatic memories, or ADHD paralysis. You’re someone who is insightful and motivated but still find yourself trapped in harmful patterns, feeling out of control and unsure what to do next. Your life might feel like it's slipping away from your envisioned path with losses in relationships, opportunities, and joy overshadowed by these struggles. But you’re ready for something different. You’re ready to uncover and heal from old wounds. Most of all, you’re ready to reclaim your power from harmful patterns. We can do this together!

Foundational to my practice is the idea that we all deserve to be seen, understood, felt, and cared for. I am passionate about working with individual adults experiencing challenges with stressful life transitions, relationship concerns, identity development, trauma, and struggles with anxiety and depression. I use a biopsychosocial approach to attend to mind, body, and heart to create greater resilience and a deeper connection with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.

I specialize in ADHD, women's issues, career counseling, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and childhood trauma. When you encounter these things in adulthood, there's often no one to walk you through the difficulties they bring. You need help from someone who specializes in this, who understands how you're feeling and can be with you on your journey, and has tools to help. I'd love to hear how I might be able to support you. I offer Authentic + Empowering Therapy for Adults in Seattle, WA. Accepting New Clients (Updated 1/8/24)

I'm honored to get to hold space with you. I am primarily offering ADHD assessments at this time. I’m passionate about working with clients to confirm or rule out ADHD, and offer subsequent treatment to support in ADHD management and/or the presence of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance misuse, and trauma impact. I'm particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+-identified individuals, and believe that liberation of shame is imperative in a strong therapeutic partnership. I fundamentally believe that each of us is doing our best with the tools that we have.
