Dr. Carolyn Mathews

Do you struggle with trying to fit in to the expectations of a neurotypical world and workplace? I invite you to bring your strengths and motivation to create a pathway to navigate those challenges. For many years, I have enjoyed working with those impacted by ADHD/AuDHD -- especially those recently diagnosed or seeking a confirmed diagnosis. In our work together, you can count on support, advocacy, resources, and accountability in a collaborative environment, either through therapy or coaching (whichever is more appropriate for your situation). With extensive experience as a therapist and a Board Certified Coach (BCC), I primarily work using Coaching Psychology: blending evidence-based psychology with the principles of coaching. In its simplest form, that means exploring what has impacted you in life thus far, and determining where you want to go and how we can best get you there. In addition to an almost 20-year former corporate career, I have extensive experience working with professionals (corporate, attorneys, healthcare, and entrepreneurs) who experience complex issues. These issues may include relationships, workplace stress and PIPs, as well as anxiety or depression. I use assessments to help you understand your strengths and your emotional intelligence. If you have insomnia, I am trained in CBTI (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) to help you trust your ability to sleep and not depend on medication. Due to my limited availability, and remote work from outside of Washington state, those challenged by severe/chronic mental illness, who need frequent appointments, support or contact, are best served by closely located therapists.
