IFS-Informed Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults in Washington State
Telehealth · Washington State residents only · Matthew Simpson, LMHC
Neurodivergent adults in Washington State
Matt works best with neurodivergent adults— ADHD, AuDHD, autistic traits—who look fine on the outside but privately deal with burnout, overthinking, shame, stuckness, and relationship patterns they can't logic their way out of.
Beyond his primary focuses, Matt also works with individuals navigating grief, career transitions, recovery from depression, and anxiety. These aren't the core specialties, but they frequently show up alongside the patterns above and are part of the work.
This is individual therapy for Washington State residents, offered via telehealth. Sessions are 60 minutes, weekly.

What you can expect
If we're a fit, you can expect attuned listening, development of clear therapy goals, honest feedback, and weekly experiments that help translate insight into measurable change.
Starting Where You Actually Are
Sessions begin with what's real right now—not where the treatment plan says you should be. If something happened this week that matters, that's where we go.
Specific, Honest Goals
We develop goals that are concrete enough to tell whether they're moving. Vague aspirations aren't useful. You should be able to notice when things are actually changing.
Direct Feedback
This isn't a place where Matt reflects things back at you and waits. If he's noticing something, he'll say it. Direct — but not brutal.
Work Between Sessions
Therapy doesn't stay in the session. Small, concrete experiments between sessions are where insight becomes actual change—or reveals exactly where the system breaks down.
IFS Parts Work
Instead of fighting the parts of you that procrastinate, shut down, or people-please, we get curious about them. That curiosity is where the actual movement happens.
Tracking What's Shifting
We check progress honestly and adjust when needed. Therapy that doesn't move isn't therapy—it's just expensive conversation.
