Helping children and adults with anxiety feel better quicker!
Loved ones, especially teenagers, seem to have a knack for pushing our buttons. It can be really hard to maintain your cool when your buttons get pushed. No one wants to yell at their family members but it's really hard not to. Especially if they just broke something expensive!
Many people also wonder if they might have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD. Many women in their 40s and 50s are being diagnosed due to changes that are happening in their bodies. As if the host flashes weren't bad enough, perimenopause and menopause change your hormones. These hormones make it harder to get things done. The clutter may be have manageable before, but calling in a professional organizer is looking like a good idea. Too bad it's so hard to stick to. They'll never be out of business.
If you're feeling forgetful, distracted, or disorganized, it might be time to consider an ADHD assessment. ADHD doesn’t just affect kids and teens—many adults are discovering that they’ve been living with undiagnosed ADHD for years. Getting the right support can make a huge difference in improving daily functioning and emotional well-being.
I work with both kids, teens and adults over the age of 5. Growling older is mandatory, but growing up is optional. We do wish those teenagers would grow up, but not too fast. At this age, most arguments seem to be about you wanting them to be more responsible and they want more freedom.
Teens are notorious for testing boundaries, especially when it comes to responsibility versus freedom. As they grow, they crave independence, but they also struggle with the responsibilities that come with it. Arguments often are around your desire for them to take on more responsibility, while they want more freedom to make their own choices.
A common scenario: You walk into their room and it’s a disaster zone. You ask them to clean it, and they say they’ve done it. But when you inspect the room, you see a different story. You might find yourself upset and frustrated. . People with Anxiety, ADHD and trauma hate vague. Anything vague increases their anxiety and it can lead to shut down. However, this is a perfect opportunity to work on clear communication and expectations
Counseling Services for Anxiety, EMDR Therapy, and ADHD Assessments
Are you struggling with anxiety, trauma, or ADHD? I specialize in anxiety management, EMDR therapy, and ADHD assessments, offering compassionate counseling services that are neurodivergent-friendlyand inclusive. My practice is designed to help children, teens, and adults navigate life's challenges with empathy, humor, and proven therapeutic techniques.
EMDR Therapy for Anxiety and Trauma Healing
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)s a powerful, research-backed treatment that can help you process trauma, reduce anxiety, and heal emotional wounds. Whether you're dealing with past trauma, overwhelming stress, or triggers related to anxiety, EMDR can help you reduce emotional intensity and regain control of your life.
ADHD Assessments and Support
If you're struggling with attention, focus, or hyperactivity, I offer comprehensive ADHD assessments to help you understand your needs. ADHD can often be misunderstood, especially for adults and women, and getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward effective management.
Support for Children, Teens, and Adults
With decades of experience working with children and teens, I bring a deep understanding of their unique challenges. I also offer tailored support for adults looking to manage anxiety, reduce emotional reactivity, and gain better control over their emotions.
Whether you're looking for a gentle start or need immediate relief, I’m here to support you. Let’s schedule a free consultation to discuss your needs and how I can help you and your family.

The length of time it takes to see results from counseling sessions with Healing Pause Mental Health Counseling and Coaching varies depending on the individual and the issues being addressed. Some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy.
I offer support for various issues such as ADHD assessments, anxiety counseling, attention deficit disorder support, and EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy. We will collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan aligned with your goals.
EMDR with Riyon, ADHD Assessments offers a range of counseling services including individual therapy and parental support. After the intake I will ask you to commit to a minimum of 4 sessions so we can get started on your journey together.
I get it. We all have so many areas in our lives where we can use support. I will work with you to explore what area of your life you want to see change in first. I can help you clarify what strengths and skills you already have to bring into the areas you need help with.
We will talk about your specific goals and how to accomplish them. Many people find relief using Eye Movement Depersonalization and Reprocessing Therapy or by learning new skills
Persons with Attention Deficit Disorder have many different areas of strengths and challenges. Sometimes people freeze when they have too many choices. Maybe you can start interesting things but avoid starting boring tasks. You might finish things 80% of the time and let’s not talk about how many projects are lying around in the closet.
We will work on goals together and then I will pick an approach that likely works well for you. It can be adjusted at any time.
We could use an approach like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, discussion guides, and homework. I often email .pdf files after a session to review on your own and/or practice skills.
We’ll focus on this topic and set solution-focused goals. We can also do skills coaching.
We can use an approach like EMDR or Cognitive Processing Training. There are certain coping skills taught before EMDR processing and we will see if you are able to not disassociate before we start trauma processing.
Therapists often provide information about topics like flight/flight/freeze and action paralysis. If you feel you know this information then we can focus on setting a path to move forward
We will work on this goal by exploring the past, building coping skills, and using tools to understand what is driving the behaviors. EMDR is my preferred tool for this.
Cognitive Processing Therapy is 10-14 highly structured sessions. Workbooks are available to download online or you can purchase your own.
Sometimes you need a lighter session or two to talk about what was processed. We will switch or add approaches if needed.
There can be many sensitive topics like money, shame, and past choices. It’s okay to bring it up. You can ask me about the topic first if you aren’t sure.
Money can be a "touchy" subject for many people. I specialize in helping you reduce your financial anxiety and retail therapy. I can't help you do the dishes but I can help you figure out how to do them before company comes over. I can refer you to talk to someone about marriage counseling if you want to work together with your partner on these challenges
I encourage you to be honest about how you think things are going. You will not hurt my feelings by sharing yours. Feedback can improve how therapy works for you. Sometimes counseling can be uncomfortable and it’s important to share that in session. Neurodivergent persons don't communicate differently. Many feel they can't "read the situation" or don't want to say anything because they think it's mean. This is your time to be heard.
I encourage you to bring your sense of humor, your love of gaming, and other things that bring you joy into the session. You are welcome to drop some of those F bombs if you need to. There are limits to confidentiality in counseling and coaching. You will be provided with a consent form that explains your rights. You may also find more information at the Department of Health or with the Revised Codes of Washington. While you may bring up almost any topic I may not have the expertise needed to help you with that topic. I can refer you to someone to help you with that in addition to working with me or you can transfer your care. https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=70.02.230 or doh.wa.gov
