Your Partner on a Difficult Path
Winston Center supports children and adults in addressing, managing and overcoming learning and attention challenges, such as ADHD, dyslexia and related conditions. Through an empathetic, customized and scientifically backed approach to treatment, Winston Center has built a respected reputation for transforming the lives of patients throughout the Northwest.
Our team of skillful, licensed clinicians provides psychiatry and speech language pathology treatment in person or via telehealth.
Finding Hope
Dr. Thomas Beck and Wendy Popa founded Winston Center in 2014. This duo couldn’t be more fitting to lead this specialized clinic, pairing their specialized training and industry-leading expertise with unwavering passion and first-hand experience. Dr. Beck is a distinguished psychiatrist, specializing in adults, children and adolescents. Ms. Popa is a Certified Dyslexia Advocate and holds a master’s degree in speech language pathology.
Our founders’ expertise isn’t only theoretical — it’s also rooted in their own journeys. Dr. Beck was diagnosed with ADHD and Ms. Popa’s children have ADHD and dyslexia. Because of these personal connections, they infuse their practice with a deeper level of understanding and empathy.
Dr. Beck and Ms. Popa realized many modern services for people with ADHD or dyslexia were missing a critical aspect: hope. Of course, people with these types of conditions face obstacles in their lives, whether in school, work or everyday life. At times, these roadblocks can feel overwhelming or insurmountable. Yet, Winston Center’s founders strive to uncover their patients’ potential, build confidence and help them achieve their goals.
Winston Center was named for Winston Churchill, who rose to become one of the most respected orators of the 20th century despite a speech impediment. Churchill is a glowing example of overcoming difficulty to achieve greatness.

Delivering a New Kind of Care
Winston Center offers a warm, welcoming environment for people of all ages. Our team of skilled medical professionals and therapists help our clients with personalized, evidence-backed treatment programs that are designed to align with their unique circumstances, needs and lifestyles.
We approach ADHD treatment under the guidance of the proprietary Winston Protocol. This approach considers several factors — such as sleep patterns, nutrition, stress, current medications and more — that can trigger or exacerbate ADHD symptoms and to design a personalized treatment pathway. Depending on a patient’s individual needs, goals and desires, our providers may recommend a variety of options, including lifestyle modifications, organizational skills training, cognitive behavioral therapy or medication management.
Moreover, our team of speech-language pathologists assists our clients with language, reading and writing difficulties, helping them overcome conditions like dyslexia and dysgraphia. We know learning challenges can make everyday tasks overwhelming and have seen proper and attentive treatment make a lifechanging difference. Our treatment begins with a thorough screening to assess the severity of these issues and identify any coexisting conditions.
We help patients manage symptoms in their everyday lives and empower them to play prominent role in their treatment. People with attention and learning problems can lead fulfilling, rich and successful lives — but managing symptoms requires the right perspective, right support network and the right tools. We recognize each of our patients’ strengths and immense resiliency – and we are proud to witness them push forward, overcome setbacks and surpass even their own expectations.
