About
Hi I'm Dr. Mary Rawson Foreman, For over 15 years I've helped adults with AD/HD find focus, confidence, and calm. AD/HD therapy isn’t like traditional talk therapy-it’s practical, targeted, and rooted in how your brain actually works. I use innovative, neuroscience-based approaches to help you manage racing thoughts, sharpen focus, regulate emotions, and create lasting change. Together, we can turn your struggles into stepping stones—so you can move from feeling stuck to feeling more in charge of yourself and your life. While AD/HD therapy is a specialty of mine, my work goes far beyond it. I also offer: Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy and Therapy for Therapists.

Support for Adults
with
ADHD & AuDHD
When clients with ADHD/AuDHD first come to me, they’re often carrying sadness, frustration, and a painful sense of disconnection from their own capabilities. Some feel irritable or hopeless; others are anxious and no longer trust themselves to follow through. Many have noticed their symptoms getting worse—or have only recently realized just how much they’ve been struggling—and want to understand what’s going on and how to help themselves. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. ADHD can impact focus, follow-through, relationships, and self-esteem, but with the right support, you can build a life that feels more manageable, connected, and fulfilling.
Evaluations for Adults
with
ADHD
An ADHD evaluation with me is a thorough, structured process designed to give you clear answers and a roadmap forward. It typically takes three one-hour sessions and includes: Detailed history-taking — We’ll explore your background, current challenges, and how attention or executive function issues show up in your daily life. Specialized ADHD assessments — I use validated ADHD-focused tools along with broader psychometric tests to screen for other conditions that may be impacting you, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or substance use. Personalized feedback & recommendations — I create a written report tailored to your needs. This can be brief or comprehensive, depending on your goals. As a licensed psychologist, my evaluations are accepted by medical professionals, employers, and educational institutions—including the University of Washington—for accommodations. This process ensures that we don’t just identify ADHD—we also understand the full picture of your strengths, challenges, and next steps.
Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy
You are looking for deep emotional healing. I offer psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy exclusively with ketamine, the only legal psychedelic medicine available for therapeutic use in Washington State. This work is ideal for clients with treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, OCD, trauma, or chronic shame—especially when traditional talk therapy or medications haven’t been enough. This is not a quick fix. It’s for people ready to invest in regular treatment for serious mental health concerns, supported by an experienced therapist and a trusted medical team.
Psychedelic medicine Journey Preparation & Integration
While I do not facilitate psilocybin sessions in Washington State, I do offer preparation and integration therapy for clients who choose to pursue psilocybin journeys in legal contexts. Preparation – Setting intentions, understanding the possible emotional and physical experiences, and building emotional readiness. Integration – Processing insights afterward, addressing challenges that arise, and creating practical ways to apply lessons to daily life. If you’re ready to explore psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in a safe, professional, and neuroscience-informed way, I’d be honored to walk this path with you.
Therapy For Therapists
As a therapist, you spend your days caring for others—holding their stories, their pain, and their hopes. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need a place of your own to feel seen, supported, and understood. In fact, sometimes being a therapist makes it harder to reach out for help. Maybe you’ve worried about confidentiality in a profession where “everyone knows everyone.” Maybe you’ve struggled to find someone who understands the unique emotional demands of this work. Or maybe you’ve been carrying countertransference, compassion fatigue, or personal struggles that are asking for your attention. Therapists are people too—our nervous systems get overloaded, our hearts get heavy, and our own life challenges still matter. In our work together, I draw on CIMBS (Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems), a neuroscience-based approach developed by Albert and Beatriz Sheldon. This model works with the brain’s natural systems—such as Safety, Care, and Connection—to help you move beyond survival mode and into a deeper sense of calm, self-compassion, and resilience. Here, you’ll find a space that is both confidential and deeply attuned to your needs—not just as a professional, but as a whole person. However you’ve arrived here, I’m glad you have. You don’t have to hold it all alone.
FAQs
Common Questions
What is ADHD therapy like?
ADHD therapy isn’t like traditional talk therapy. It’s practical, targeted, and based on neuroscience. Together, we’ll focus on strategies to help you manage racing thoughts, sharpen focus, regulate emotions, and feel more in charge of your life.
Do you treat ADHD adults using medication ?
I use psychotherapy as my primary approach in treating ADHD and related concerns. As a psychologist, I am not a licensed medical provider and therefore do not prescribe medication. However, many clients benefit from a combined approach. If medication is needed or desired, I collaborate closely with trusted and qualified medical providers who can evaluate and prescribe when appropriate. Together, we can integrate therapy and, if helpful, medication management into a comprehensive treatment plan.
Can you tell me if I have adult ADHD?
Yes! Learn more about my evaluations for Adult ADHD here.
Do you only treat ADHD adults?
No. While ADHD therapy is a specialty of mine, I also provide psychotherapy for adults (ages 18+) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief and loss, divorce,
or navigating other life transitions such as menopause.
For clients with more severe symptoms, we may also explore ketamine-assisted therapy in partnership with Journey Clinical.
Why do you use CIMBS
(Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems)
paradigm and other neuroscience-informed psychotherapies?
I use CIMBS and other neuroscience-informed therapies because I want to offer the most effective and transformative care possible. These approaches work with the brain’s natural systems to create deep and lasting change, often more quickly than traditional talk therapy. In my experience, clients grow faster, develop new ways of responding to challenges, and feel more empowered in their daily lives. CIMBS is intensive, but it helps clients move forward in profound ways—and being part of that growth is deeply meaningful for me as a therapist.
How do we meet—online or in person?
I offer both in-person sessions at my office in Kirkland, WA (see photos here) and secure online therapy sessions. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of choosing the format that works best for them.
How long are therapy sessions? How often will I come?
A typical therapy session lasts between 55–60 minutes.
Most new clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and consistency.
As you make progress, we may shift to biweekly or monthly sessions, depending on your needs.
Do you work with other therapists?
Yes. I also provide therapy for therapists. I understand the unique challenges of working in mental health, and I offer a supportive space for therapists seeking their own growth and healing.
Will I cry the whole time? Can we laugh in therapy?
Not at all! Therapy isn’t just about tears—it’s also about laughter and connection. I’m a playful person, and many of my clients find we laugh often together.
Do you offer Ketamine- or Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy?
Yes. For appropriate clients, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
in partnership with Journey Clinical, as well as
preparation and integration for psychedelic journeys you might have on your own.
These approaches can be powerful tools for healing when integrated with traditional psychotherapy.
What are your rates and do you take insurance?
Rates:
-
$200/hour for ongoing therapy
-
$250 for initial and evaluation sessions
-
$750 for full evaluation with report
-

I do not bill insurance directly. However, I provide a detailed receipt (called a superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many out-of-network plans will cover a significant portion of my fee. I encourage clients to check with their insurance provider to better understand their coverage.
