Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Irving, TX

I believe that healing is not a one size fits all process. Every person arrives with a unique story, a distinct set of strengths, and their own way of making meaning in the world. I honor that individuality as I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. I believe in helping people and not fixing them because people aren't broken.

I would describe myself as warm, creative, and affirming. I am a somatic-based therapist trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. In 2016, I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of North Texas. I have worked with a variety of individuals in hospital and outpatient settings. I see clients between the ages of 13 and 75 and am a LGBTQIQA+ ally.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel like a safe place to breathe, reflect, and grow. I work with kids, teens, and adults, especially those dealing with trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming life stress. I’ve spent years supporting youth in foster care, and that experience has shaped my belief that healing happens through connection, consistency, and compassion.

In our work together, you can expect a mix of practical tools, honest conversation, and a focus on helping you understand yourself more clearly. I use CBT and trauma‐informed approaches, but I tailor every session to what you need most. My goal is to help you feel supported, capable, and more in control of your story.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be

I am a compassionate, client-centered therapist with extensive experience working across the behavioral health spectrum. My professional background includes work in youth detention centers, prisons, behavioral health hospitals, group homes, and residential treatment centers (RTCs). These environments shaped my deep respect for resilience and taught me how important safety, trust, and consistency are in the healing process.

I care about my clients and have several years of experience providing solutions.

Brittney Washington, LPC-S, LCDC-CI, CLC

Life can feel like a never-ending to-do list, and no matter how much you check off, it still feels like you’re barely keeping up. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.

I’m Brittney Washington, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern (LCDC-CI), and Certified Life Coach (CLC) with over six years of experience helping professionals, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and high-achievers navigate ADHD, anxiety, burnout, stress, life transitions, and imposter syndrome. My passion is helping people who are used to handling everything but now feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’ve lost control of their own lives.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, I take a practical, down-to-earth approach to help clients get clear on what’s keeping them stuck and develop a plan to move forward in a way that works for them.

I have 6+ years of working with both individuals and couples. I work to create an atmosphere free of judgement while trying to be as direct as possible.
