Hi, I’m Dr. Cristina Louk — ADHD and Trauma Specialist in Woodinville.
A Path Specifically Designed for Neurodivergent & Traumatized Brains
Traditional "talk therapy" often falls short when your nervous system is overwhelmed or your brain processes information differently. You don’t have to struggle alone. At Peace Humanistic Therapy, my practice bridges the gap between clinical science and soulful healing. By integrating Somatic Psychology and Buddhist mindfulness, we move beyond just talking about your challenges; we work to physically regulate your nervous system and rewire the internal narratives that keep you stuck.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in executive functioning and somatic experiencing, I offer a unique blend of therapeutic support and diagnostic testing. My depth-oriented approach helps you re-story troubled narratives, guiding you toward those vital "a-ha" moments of self-realization. Whether you are seeking an adult ADHD assessment, healing from complex trauma (C-PTSD), or looking for neurodiversity-affirming counseling, you deserve a space where you don’t have to mask.
With a foundation in humanistic psychology, I provide a structured, strengths-focused environment designed to move you from a state of "surviving" into a life of empowered presence. Based in Woodinville, I proudly serve the Eastside community—including Bothell, Redmond, and Kirkland—as well as Snohomish County and clients throughout Washington State via telehealth. Together, we will foster meaningful, lasting change to help you regain clarity, control, and a sense of well-being.
SPECIALIZING IN:
01
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, organization, and impulse control. It’s not just about being distracted or hyperactive—it’s about how your brain processes information and responds to the world. ADHD can present unique challenges, such as difficulty with time management, emotional regulation, and maintaining attention. However, it also comes with strengths like creativity, problem-solving, and a natural ability to think outside the box. With the right support and strategies, individuals with ADHD can harness their potential and thrive in their personal and professional lives. At Peace Humanistic, we go beyond traditional coaching by integrating Humanistic and Narrative therapy in a neurodiversity-affirming environment to help you move past shame and rebuild your sense of agency. Whether you are seeking executive functioning strategies or emotional regulation, our Woodinville-based sessions are designed to help neurodivergent adults and teens thrive in a world not built for them.
02
Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to distressing or life-altering events. It can leave lasting effects on how you think, feel, and interact with the world, often leading to symptoms like anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or difficulty trusting others. Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind—it can also impact the body and overall well-being. However, healing is possible. With the right support and tools, you can process past experiences, rebuild a sense of safety, and reclaim your strength and resilience, creating space for growth and a renewed sense of self. Healing from trauma requires more than just talking; it requires a body-based approach. I specialize in Somatic Psychology and Yoga Therapy to help you safely process stored tension and Religious Trauma. By combining Buddhist psychology with evidence-based care, we work together to restore your nervous system and help you feel safe in your own skin again.
03
Assessments are a powerful tool for understanding your unique experiences and challenges. They provide a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, developmental history, and current functioning, helping to uncover the root causes of your struggles. A formal diagnosis is often a crucial step in this process, as it allows us to create a highly individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. With accurate insights, we can identify the most effective strategies and interventions to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. We provide comprehensive diagnostic assessments for ADHD and Autism (AuDHD) in Woodinville and via telehealth. Our process is neurodiversity-affirming, focusing not just on clinical diagnosis but on providing a roadmap for your unique brain. Gain the clarity you need to access workplace accommodations, medical support, or simply a deeper understanding of your life's journey.

Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your nervous system, lived experience, and goals.
Assessment
We offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments for teens and adults, including evaluations for ADHD, executive functioning, and emotional or learning concerns.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to access the subconscious patterns that shape thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

This approach can help uncover and transform underlying beliefs while supporting integration and self-awareness.
