have you reached your breaking point?
Do you feel overwhelmed, isolated, or constantly behind—no matter how hard you try?
Are you living with ADHD, trauma, or chronic stress and wondering why life feels harder for you than it seems for others?
You know something needs to change…
but you don’t know where to start—and you’re exhausted from figuring it out alone.
Maybe you’re tired of:
Constant overwhelm and mental clutter
Struggling to stay organized, focused, or emotionally regulated
Feeling misunderstood, disconnected, or “too much”
Questioning your abilities despite how capable you truly are
And yet—some part of you knows relief is possible.
You’re ready to regain:
A sense of productivity and follow-through that works with your brain
Emotional steadiness and calm, even when life feels demanding
Confidence, self-trust, and self-compassion, instead of shame and self-criticism
You don’t need to be fixed.
You need support that understands how ADHD and trauma shape your nervous system, emotions, and daily life.
Therapy here is thoughtful, neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and designed for real adults with real lives.
You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s begin.
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 psychology, 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.
Specialist in Trauma-Informed, Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
Thoughtful, neurodiversity-affirming care for ADHD, trauma, and autism—designed to support regulation, clarity, and long-term growth.
-
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, organization, emotional regulation, and impulse control. It is not simply about distraction or hyperactivity—it reflects differences in how the brain processes information, manages time, and responds to internal and external demands.
Many adolescents and adults with ADHD struggle with executive functioning skills such as planning, follow-through, emotional regulation, and maintaining focus, often leading to chronic overwhelm, shame, and burnout. At the same time, ADHD is associated with meaningful strengths, including creativity, pattern recognition, problem-solving, and innovative thinking.
With the right therapeutic support, individuals with ADHD can learn to work with their nervous system rather than against it—and thrive in both personal and professional life.
At Peace Humanistic, we provide neurodiversity-affirming ADHD therapy that goes beyond traditional coaching models. Our approach integrates Humanistic and Narrative therapy to help clients move past internalized shame, reconnect with their strengths, and rebuild a sense of agency and self-trust.
Whether you are seeking support for executive functioning, emotional regulation, or the impact of ADHD on relationships and identity, our Woodinville-based therapy sessions are designed to support neurodivergent teens and adults in navigating a world not built for their brains.
-
Trauma is the emotional, psychological, and physiological response to overwhelming or life-altering experiences. It can affect how you think, feel, relate to others, and experience your body, often showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, dissociation, difficulty trusting others, or a persistent sense of unsafety.
Trauma is not only held in memory—it is stored in the nervous system and body, influencing emotional regulation, stress responses, and overall well-being long after the event has passed. For many people, this includes religious trauma, where beliefs, authority, or spiritual environments have caused harm, fear, or loss of identity.
Healing from trauma is possible, but it requires more than insight alone.
At Peace Humanistic, trauma therapy is body-based, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I specialize in Somatic Psychology and Yoga Therapy to help clients gently process stored tension, restore nervous system regulation, and rebuild a felt sense of safety in their bodies—at a pace that honors their lived experience.
By integrating Buddhist psychology with evidence-based trauma care, therapy becomes a space to reconnect with resilience, agency, and meaning. Together, we work toward helping you feel grounded, present, and safe in your own skin again—creating room for growth, self-trust, and a renewed sense of self.

Neurodevelopmental assessments are a powerful way to gain clarity about how your brain works. A comprehensive assessment evaluates current symptoms, developmental history, cognitive patterns, and daily functioning, helping identify the underlying factors contributing to long-standing challenges with attention, regulation, communication, or executive functioning.
For many individuals, a formal diagnosis is a critical step toward self-understanding and effective support. Accurate assessment allows for the development of a highly individualized treatment and support plan, informed by your unique strengths, needs, and lived experience.
At Peace Humanistic, we provide comprehensive diagnostic assessments for ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD for adolescents and adults in Woodinville, WA and via telehealth. Our assessment process is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, moving beyond checklists and labels to offer a meaningful understanding of your neurotype.
Rather than focusing solely on diagnosis, our assessments provide a clear roadmap for your brain—including practical recommendations for therapy, executive functioning support, nervous system regulation, and next steps.
Whether you are seeking documentation for workplace or academic accommodations, medical support, or simply a deeper understanding of your life experiences, assessment can be a powerful step toward clarity, self-compassion, and confidence moving forward.
You’ve likely been told to "just try harder" or "use a planner." When your brain is wired differently, general therapy isn't just ineffective—it can be accidentally pathologizing.
My 3 Pillars of Experience:
#1 Academic Depth: My doctoral research was dedicated to understanding the nuances of neurodevelopmental disorders. I don't just see the symptoms; I understand the underlying neurological architecture of neurodevelopmental differences.
#2 Clinical Rigor: While many "specialize" via weekend workshops, my clinical training has been singular and focused. I have spent my entire post-PhD career refining neuro-affirming interventions that respect your nervous system rather than trying to "fix" it.
#3 Research-Backed, Human-Centered: My background in research allows me to filter out “pop-psychology” and provide you with strategies that actually work for executive dysfunction, sensory processing, and trauma-recovery.

Our Services

Psychotherapy provides a structured, supportive space to explore emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and life experiences that impact daily functioning and relationships. At Peace Humanistic, we offer strength-based, trauma-informed psychotherapy for adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, trauma, emotional dysregulation, attachment wounds, and complex trauma.
Our therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based modalities with humanistic and mindfulness-informed care, supporting emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful, sustainable change. Therapy is collaborative and individualized, with sessions tailored to your nervous system, lived experience, and personal goals rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Whether you are seeking support for overwhelm, relational challenges, identity exploration, or recovery from trauma, psychotherapy can help you build insight, resilience, and a greater sense of safety and agency in your life.
-
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic, evidence-informed approach that works with the subconscious mind to address patterns that influence thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system responses. In a clinical setting, hypnotherapy is used to support trauma healing, emotional regulation, habit change, and deeper self-understanding.
At Peace Humanistic, we provide clinical hypnotherapy that is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in safety, consent, and client agency. Sessions are designed to gently access underlying beliefs and adaptive patterns while supporting integration, awareness, and nervous system stability—never control or loss of consciousness.
Hypnotherapy can be especially helpful for individuals seeking to shift long-standing patterns, process unresolved experiences, or access insight that may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone, all while remaining present, aware, and in control.
-
Neurodevelopmental assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation of how attention, executive functioning, learning, and emotional regulation impact daily life. At Peace Humanistic, we offer thorough, trauma-informed, and strengths-based assessments for adolescents and adults, including evaluations for ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and emotional or learning concerns.
Our assessment process explores developmental history, current symptoms, cognitive and behavioral patterns, and functional challenges, providing clear, personalized insights rather than just a diagnosis. Each evaluation includes practical, individualized recommendations to support therapy planning, academic or workplace accommodations, and everyday functioning.
The goal of assessment is to help you better understand how your brain works, clarify long-standing challenges, and create meaningful next steps for treatment, education, work, and personal growth.
-
Clinical supervision provides structured professional support for therapists as they develop clinical skills, ethical judgment, and professional identity. At Peace Humanistic, we offer supportive, growth-oriented clinical supervision for pre-licensed clinicians and mental health professionals seeking depth, reflection, and competence in their work.
Supervision is grounded in a person-centered, humanistic framework and integrates clinical skill-building, ethical decision-making, case conceptualization, self-reflection, and professional development. Attention is given not only to technique, but also to the therapist’s inner experience, values, and nervous system—recognizing that effective clinical work begins with self-awareness.
Our supervisory approach supports both clinical competence and the therapist’s inner work, creating a space that fosters confidence, sustainability, and integrity in professional practice.
remember:
The power to change is already inside of you.
