When trying harder has stopped working, it can be difficult to understand why everyday life feels so overwhelming. Whether you're an adult who has spent years struggling with organization, follow-through, or emotional regulation, or a parent trying to better understand your child's needs, having the right support can make a meaningful difference.

I'm Natalie Williamsen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in ADHD diagnostic evaluations and neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapy. Before opening my private practice, I spent four years at Northwest ADHD Treatment Center, where I developed extensive experience evaluating and treating ADHD across the lifespan.

My work goes beyond identifying symptoms or teaching coping strategies. I take time to understand the whole person, including developmental history, relationships, emotional experiences, and the ways ADHD can overlap with autism, anxiety, and trauma.

In therapy, we address both the practical and emotional sides of ADHD. This may involve developing supportive systems for executive functioning, organization, planning, and follow-through, while also exploring experiences of overwhelm, shame, self-doubt, or feeling misunderstood.

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and integrative, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic perspectives, and other evidence-informed approaches based on each person's needs.

I believe clients are the experts on their own lives. As people begin to better understand themselves and how neurodivergence influences their experiences, they often begin recognizing strengths and ways of thinking that have been there all along.

I provide comprehensive ADHD diagnostic evaluations for children and adults, along with individual psychotherapy and support for parents navigating their child's neurodevelopmental needs.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while developing greater self-understanding and practical strategies that fit your life.
