I’m a licensed clinical therapist in Texas with a master’s degree in Direct Practice Social Work, earned in 2016; proudly a first-generation college graduate! I believe everyone's background, values and traditions shape how they understand healing, connection, and resilience. I have always been one to honor and respect the diverse cultural identities, traditions, and lived experiences in others and within myself. Throughout the years, I've been attuned to how therapeutic experiences can show up in different ways when one is open in empathy, self-awareness and commitment to make positive changes.

My practice is rooted in trauma-informed, holistic therapy—supporting the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected pathways to healing. I believe therapy is a deeply personal journey that unfolds through curiosity, compassion, and self-awareness. Through an integrative lens in our sessions, my goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported —co-creating a safe, calming space where you can tune into yourself, process what’s been heavy, rediscover your strengths and find lasting healing on every level.

I hold certifications in:

• Critical Incident Stress Management (CCISM)
• Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method (TCYM)
• Callahan Techniques, Thought Field Therapy (TFT-Alg)
• Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)

My training includes:

• Somatic Therapy
• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills & mindfulness
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
• Perinatal Mental Health

I’m a therapist who wants you to feel more at home in your life and emotions. I know reaching out can feel scary, especially when life feels uncertain or suddenly different, so I focus on creating a space that feels calm, safe, and truly supportive. I speak English and Spanish, and I deeply respect each person’s story, culture, and values as we work together.

Why fit in when you were born to stand out -Dr. Seuss. Often times when dealing with strong and intense emotions we have trouble communicating with the people in our lives. Together we can work through emotions that are making it hard to move forward in your life. Change is hard and together we can make make it through life's transitions whether you are dealing with the past, or gearing up for the future.

My specialties include stress, anxiety, depression, boundaries, healthy communication, and relationships. My goal is to create a safe space for you to process emotions, and take your next step in life. In a nonjudgmental space and a little humor at times we can explore emotions, and help you achieve the life you want to live.

I will work to create a safe space so that you feel confident to open up. Together we can determine your goals for counseling, and begin the process of working to reach them. If you're ready to take the next step on your journey, please contact me.

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.

My goal as a professional counselor is to provide an authentic and safe space for you to work through concerns while building and utilizing your own strengths. I show up with humor, honesty, and a deep respect for each part of you as the patient. My style is warm and genuine with a touch of quirkiness!

I have a variety of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to a range of clients from young children to adults. Having worked in environments including the school system, outpatient facilities and private practice, I have a solid understanding of how to collaborate with clients to identify their needs and provide appropriate support or connect to the right community resources. Throughout my career, I have gained experience with navigating conflict resolution, addressing general DSM-5 diagnosis’, and helping clients increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
