ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Gig Harbor, WA

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner passionate about supporting preteens, teens, and adults through ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. I provide medication management with therapy woven into every visit.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work from Walden University, which I earned in 2021. I have over five years of experience providing mental health services in both community health and school-based settings, with a primary focus on supporting children and adolescents.

For the past five years, I have worked as a school-based mental health provider across elementary, middle, and high school settings. Through this experience, I have had the opportunity to work with young people experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and difficulties with emotional regulation and coping. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and incorporate evidence-based approaches while tailoring treatment to each client's individual needs, developmental level, and strengths.

My goal is to help children and adolescents understand themselves more fully, develop healthy coping and communication skills, and recognize the strengths they already possess. I believe meaningful therapeutic progress begins with feeling safe enough to be yourself.

My name is Shnarika Powell, though I go by Simone, and I am the lead provider at Champion Wellness & Psychiatry, a faith-based private practice in Washington state. I have a big heart, a passion for listening, and a deep dedication to helping you restore peace, positivity, and self-love. My core values are rooted in compassion, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to enhancing the mental well-being of the individuals and families I serve. I specialize in treating anxiety and major depression, with a dedicated focus on supporting men and women struggling with weight management and obesity.

I’m a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with clients across the lifespan. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Arizona and have experience caring for individuals in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and higher-acuity mental health settings. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, OCD, mood disorders, and substance use. I take a thoughtful, practical, and individualized approach to care, with the goal of helping clients feel understood, safe, supported, and comfortable being honest when feeling emotionally vulnerable.

Hi, I'm Alanna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing telehealth therapy for adults across Florida. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and life transitions, especially those who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, or difficulty with focus and follow-through.

Many of the people I work with appear to be managing life on the outside while privately struggling with self-criticism, low self-worth, intrusive or racing thoughts, chronic stress, or the mental exhaustion that comes from feeling like you always have to keep it together. Others come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why life feels harder than it seems to for everyone else.

I also have a special interest in supporting individuals navigating the emotional impact of PCOS and other chronic health or hormonal conditions, including challenges related to body image, fatigue, mood changes, stress, and adjusting to life with an ongoing medical condition. If you've been thinking about therapy but aren't quite sure where to start, that's okay. Whether you're ready to begin or simply have questions about how therapy works, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to talk with you, answer your questions, and help you determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care to adolescents and adults across Washington State. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns. My services include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and supportive therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than four years of clinical experience. I have training in EMDR, Gottman, Emotionally Focused and Relational Life Therapy. My client focus is adults and couples.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I approach therapy as a collaborative, relational process grounded in authenticity, trust, and respect. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a space where clients can explore their experiences openly without fear of judgment. My work is informed not only by clinical training, but also by lived experience, which allows me to connect with clients in a way that is both empathetic and deeply human.

My therapeutic style is engaged, flexible, and tailored to each individual. I integrate evidence-based modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Through EMDR, I help clients process and resolve trauma and distressing life experiences. In Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, I support clients in accessing new perspectives and reducing symptoms that may feel stuck or resistant to traditional approaches. With DBT, I focus on building concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. I aim to balance insight-oriented work with practical tools that clients can apply in their daily lives.

I believe therapy does not have to feel overly clinical or rigid to be effective. I intentionally incorporate humor, warmth, and relatability into my work, recognizing that moments of lightness can be incredibly grounding and healing. Humor can create connection, reduce shame, and make difficult conversations feel more approachable, while still honoring the depth and seriousness of each person’s experience.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, and mood-related concerns. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

I take a personalized approach to care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by many factors, including life experiences, relationships, work stress, sleep, physical health, and daily functioning. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their symptoms, identify treatment goals, and develop a plan that supports stability, clarity, and improved quality of life.

I support children, families and adults through all facets of life and take careful time to understand their specific needs, dynamics, identity, background and experience when exploring treatment plans and goal. I support families and children as they are going through divorce or custody changes, including reunification therapy. I also offer support with children with challenging behaviors. For adults I support with transitions no matter your season of life, with a focus on trauma and attachment. Whether a new mom, transitioning high school student or new retiree.
