Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Renton, WA

Anxiety, depression, ADHD and complex trauma are all too familiar to me- I feel so much joy when I am given the privilege to help others with their own, no matter where they are at in their process.

As a person who was late-in-life diagnosed A(u)DHD, I learned a lot of "bootcamp" social skills and navigation tools over the years to survive a harsh world not designed for people like me. I really excel in providing a validating space to join me, side by side, as we all learn how to ride this wild life.

I have a Master's degree in Psychology. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. I am also a Child Mental Health Specialist with a background in teaching. My specialty is childhood trauma, (children and adults), grief and PTSD Nero divergent individuals such as ADHD, OCD, Autism spectrum

I have over 10 years of experience as a social worker assisting those with chronic mental health struggles. I specialize in anxiety, OCD & phobias, mood disorders and general work with adults experiencing challenging life stressors, change or loss. No matter what life stage you are in, therapy can help you cope and learn to thrive.

I help adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. Many of my clients are working through depression, trauma, relationship stress, recovery challenges, and the desire to feel more grounded, connected, and in control.

Hi, I'm Dr. Maria Moore. I am a licensed therapist with advanced training in trauma, anxiety, relationship counseling, and nervous system-based approaches to healing. I work with individuals and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

After getting my master's in counseling psychology decades ago, there has been a strong focus in helping others process through trauma, depression, anxiety and other mental health symptoms getting in the way of living one's best life, I am a licensed mental health counselor who uses several skills and techniques to help people heal.

I believe effective mental health care starts with feeling heard, respected, and understood. I take a collaborative, non-judgmental approach and work closely with you to understand your goals, concerns, and life context—not just your symptoms.

I value clear communication and transparency, so I’ll explain diagnoses, treatment options, and medications in a way that’s easy to understand. My goal is to help you feel confident and informed about your care, not rushed or overwhelmed.

I provide evidence-based medication management while considering the whole person—mental, emotional, and physical health. I welcome questions and encourage active participation in treatment decisions so we can create a plan that truly fits your needs.

Whether you’re seeking care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, or ongoing medication management, I aim to create a supportive, safe space where progress feels achievable and care feels personal.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and evidence-based treatment for PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and military families. With over a decade of experience, I offer culturally responsive therapy in English and Spanish. My telehealth-only practice provides a safe, supportive space for healing, growth, and emotional wellness.

Please note I specialize in working with women and my practice is women-only. Somewhere between taking care of everyone and holding it all together, you stopped mattering to yourself. You agree to things you don't want to, say you're fine when you're not, and spend hours replaying conversations picking yourself apart. You're anxious, hard on yourself, and really good at making yourself small so other people can be comfortable. I help women stop shrinking and start showing up for themselves without the guilt. Whether it's marriage, dating, friendships, family, motherhood, or work, or just understanding who you are outside of what everyone needs from you, there's a way through it and we can find it together.
