Hi there, my name is Lee. I am a bi-racial, first-generation Vietnamese-American, and I believe the best therapy happens when we bring our full, authentic selves into the room. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I have a passion for working with couples and diverse populations. My goal is to truly understand and connect, offering a space filled with warmth, radical acceptance, clear accountability, and—fair warning—the occasional painful dad joke.
Hello, and welcome! My name is Theresa McDowell, PhD and I’m a dedicated School Psychologist and licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience in mental health and education. I specialize in supporting individuals across various stages of life, offering evidence-based interventions to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and grief.
Great to meet you!
I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of patient care experience, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma‐related concerns. I completed advanced graduate training in psychopharmacology and trauma‐informed care. I provide warm, collaborative medication management for adults and teens across Washington and New Jersey, through online sessions. My clinical philosophy is collaborative and compassionate. I believe treatment works best when clients feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we’ll build a plan that feels safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.
Thank you for visiting my profile, I hope to be able to guide you along your mental health journey. For over ten years, I’ve specialized in the treatment of anxiety and depression, especially in the context of life transitions. I have an expertise in helping people who feel stuck and unhappy gain confidence, advance in their careers, and form healthy interpersonal relationships.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and have provided therapy to individuals and families since 2018. Currently, I work with women aged 18-60 who need support with ADHD, trauma, sleep issues, anxiety, struggling with change, or a growing sense of disconnection.
As a dually certified provider, I offer a unique blend of clinical precision and compassionate, holistic care for both the body and soul. My journey began in 1995 as a nurse, followed by earning my medical degree in 2002 and completing a residency in General Pathology in Postgraduate Education Academy, Kharkov, Ukraine, which provided me with a profound understanding of the biological foundations of health. In 2006, I met my future husband and moved to the United States.
In the United States, I advanced my nursing career, working as a Registered Nurse and becoming a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner (FNP) in 2019. During this time, I managed complex primary care and detoxification protocols for adults and adolescents in behavioral health inpatient settings. In 2024, I achieved my Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) and certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
Healing starts with being understood. I’m Yuliana Gonzalez, a Licensed Mental Health Clinician specializing in trauma, proudly providing care in both English and Spanish.
I believe healing happens best when compassion and laughter meet. In our work together, you'll find a space grounded in honesty, vulnerability, and genuine human connection-free of judgment, filled with support, and occasionally lightened by humor. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, deepen your relationships, and reconnect with what brings meaning to your life.
I'm a licensed Marriage and Family therapist with over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples and families. My background spans schools, community behavioral health, clinics and private practice. I specialize in eating disorders (adolescents and adults), communication, identity development, and family-of-origin work, helping clients build awareness and lasting change.
Mental health should not be a taboo subject or a rushed intervention. Each person responds differently to life events. There should be no shame or stigma in sharing feelings and seeking help.
I am here to help you find your balance and the correct care plan o regain yourself and succeed in life. I strive to offer excellent and individualized care—including medications and therapy—because each client is a unique individual who deserves understanding and is treated with dignity and respect.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Tacoma
Finding ADHD therapists in Tacoma starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may help with executive function, organization, emotional regulation, focus, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Some therapists offer CBT for ADHD, skills-based support, or ADHD focused therapy, while psychiatrists may support medication management. Adults, children, and teens often need different types of ADHD care, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age, goals, and preferences.
Tacoma has a strong mental health care community, and your best fit may depend on where you live, your schedule, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. Virtual care can expand your options if nearby appointments are limited or if you need more flexible timing. As you compare Tacoma therapists, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each therapist describes their approach. Reading bios can help you see whether a therapist has experience with ADHD counseling, adult ADHD therapy, behavior therapy for ADHD, or support for co-occurring concerns.
Therapy in Tacoma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find ADHD therapists, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also add your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Tacoma.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
