Psychology for Adults in Demanding Roles

Structured, evidence-based psychotherapy and comprehensive ADHD assessment for adults who carry significant responsibility in their careers, families and communities.

Sustained Clarity

This Practice is Well-Suited for Adults Who:

01

Carry high responsibility

Whether in your career, personal life and/or caretaking role, you are juggling many demands.

02

Value evidence-based care

You appreciate thoughtful, structured evidence-based care rather than generic wellness advice.

03

Seek meaningful, sustainable change

You want insight that translates into meaningful, sustainable change, not just temporary symptom relief.

04

Navigate transitions or increased strain

You are navigating important decisions, transitions or periods of increased strain where something feels like it’s no longer working.

Clinical Focus

Two Focused Pathways for Adults in Demanding Roles

Solas Psychology offers evidence-based psychotherapy and comprehensive ADHD assessment, both built around doctoral-level clinical training and individualized care.

Individual Psychotherapy

Individualized Care

Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions

A collaborative, structured approach to help adults understand patterns of thinking, emotion and behavior in order to build skills for steadier functioning over time. Tailored specifically for individuals navigating demanding careers, family systems and periods of increased strain.

Adult ADHD Assessment

Clinical Evaluation

Attention, Focus & Executive Functioning

Start with an Initial Assessment Consultation (30 minutes, in-person or telehealth). Together, we determine the right scope: a Focused Adult ADHD Evaluation or Comprehensive ADHD & Differential Diagnostic Assessment. Both are psychologist-led and evidence-based; the difference is scope, not quality.

Support for healthcare professionals

Training for Primary Care Teams

I also offer practical, evidence-informed training to help primary care teams assess adult ADHD, navigate differential diagnosis, and make thoughtful referral decisions. Available virtually or in person, with formats tailored to your practice or healthcare organization.

Meet your provider

Meet Dr. Alyssa Smyth

As a doctoral-level clinical psychologist, my clinical approach is defined by rigorous, evidence-based frameworks built on structural stability rather than temporary coping mechanisms.

Prior to establishing private practice in Poulsbo, I served for six years as an active-duty Navy Psychologist, addressing high-stakes occupational stress, resilience and attention profiles in intensely demanding environments. I am also an active researcher published in peer-reviewed clinical psychology and ADHD journals.
