Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate | Licensed Certified School Psychologist

I am Dr. Maria Gent, Ed.D., LMHCA, LCSP, BCASE, a licensed mental health counselor and school psychologist at our Federal Way clinic with 25+ years of experience supporting neurodiverse children, teens, and adults.

I specialize in ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life adjustments, using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach. I provide assessments, therapy, and practical strategies to help clients build self-awareness, resilience, and confidence. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

I help children, teens, and adults with ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Through therapy, assessments, and practical tools, I support clients in building confidence, managing emotions, and improving relationships in a warm, strengths-based way.

I provide a supportive, understanding, and judgment-free space for neurodiverse clients and anyone seeking a safe place to start therapy. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, OCD, and life transitions, build confidence, manage challenges, develop practical strategies, and grow into their best selves.
