Meet Dr. Cristina Louk

Dr. Cristina Louk is a highly experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT500), and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200) with a profound commitment to holistic well-being. She holds a BS in Psychology, a MA, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology. Since establishing her private practice, Peace Humanistic Therapy, PLLC, in 2021, Dr. Louk has been dedicated to guiding individuals on their healing journeys, building upon her practice experience since 2017.

Her diverse background includes working in both agency and private practice settings. Notably, she served as the director of a supported living agency, where she gained extensive experience working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, ASD, and other mental health comorbidities. Dr. Louk’s clinical training focused on neurodevelopmental assessments for intellectual disability, ADHD, and autism. She also completed a rotation at the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership, providing support to individuals navigating their cancer journey.

Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Louk is actively involved in the professional community. She currently serves as the President-Elect of the Washington Mental Health Counselors Association and chairs the convention task force, which is developing the organization's inaugural annual conference to provide continuing education for therapists.

With 30 years of experience teaching ballet and a lifetime engaged in yoga practice, Dr. Louk deeply understands the crucial role of movement in achieving optimal mental health, emotion regulation, and nervous system regulation. She has personally utilized yoga therapy (incorporating asana, pranayama, and Yoga Sutra study) in her own healing journey to manage ADHD and a dysregulated nervous system. This unique perspective informs her specialization in treating adults with ADHD and trauma. She offers comprehensive ADHD and trauma assessments for accurate diagnostics.

Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not.

Deepak Chopra

in therapy with me…

We’ll dig deep…

into the root causes of your struggles, exploring the patterns, beliefs, and emotions that shape your experiences. Together, we’ll uncover the insights that can lead to lasting change and healing. With a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I’ll guide you in developing practical strategies to address your challenges, while also empowering you to embrace your strengths and build a more fulfilling life. This journey will be about discovering your true potential, gaining clarity, and creating the life you deserve.

You’re in charge.

In our work together, you are the expert on your life. Therapy is all about helping you take the lead in your own healing journey. I’m here to offer guidance, support, and tools, but ultimately, the direction of our work is shaped by your needs, goals, and personal pace. Therapy is client-driven, meaning that everything we do will be based on what feels right for you. This process is collaborative—you set the agenda, and I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you find the answers and growth you’re seeking.

I’ll cheer you on.

As you work toward your goals, I'll be there every step of the way, offering encouragement and celebrating your progress. Therapy is not just about addressing challenges; it’s about acknowledging your strengths and successes along the journey. I’m committed to cheering you on as you take bold steps forward. But my role doesn't stop there—I’ll also advocate for you, helping you navigate obstacles and ensuring you have the resources and support you need to thrive. Together, we’ll build the confidence and resilience for you to achieve your fullest potential.
