Do you dread going to sleep because of recurring nightmares? Do you wake up feeling anxious, unsettled, or emotionally drained? Nightmares can be more than just bad dreams—they can disrupt your sleep, impact your mood, and interfere with your daily life. You don’t have to navigate that alone. Nightmares are often your mind’s way of processing unresolved experiences or overwhelming emotions. Together, we will gently explore the patterns, triggers, and while building practical tools to reduce their frequency and intensity. My approach is anchored in trauma-informed, queer affirming, and anti-racist practices.

Dr. Britt Lindon
Psychologist, PhD
Georgetown, Washington, DC 20007
The pressure is relentless. So is the feeling that you're facing it alone. Maybe there's a constant hum of anxiety, a loneliness that lingers even when you have people around. You've tried things. They help, until they don't. Fair warning: I'm not what most people expect. But then again, neither are most of my clients. The bigger surprise, for most of them, is that something finally works. The medication that was supposed to fix it — didn't. Suggesting more journaling about it felt like an insult. I get it.

Are you feeling stuck—overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or repeating patterns even when you “know better”? Therapy is a place to slow down, understand what’s happening inside, and create lasting change. I offer a warm, collaborative space grounded in compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. My work is rooted in Internal Family Systems with a relational lens. IFS understands the mind as having different “parts”—like the part that wants to grow and the part that wants to stay safe. These conflicts aren’t a flaw; they’re protective strategies shaped by experience. Together we build clarity, self-leadership, and deeper connection.

Are you grappling with intense emotions or painful memories, navigating life transitions, or seeking a space for open conversation and self-discovery? Do you experience anxiety, tension, or overwhelm, or wonder why you feel irritable, tearful, or unable to enjoy your usual activities? In times of stress, people often withdraw, avoid, or adopt other unhealthy habits, only to find it makes them feel worse. You probably long for more effective ways to cope, handle your emotions, and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Psychologist, PsyD

My approach to therapy is open, supportive, and fosters curiosity instead of judgment. I work to help clients achieve insight about the origins of symptoms, while at the same time providing ways to cope with distressing emotions in the present. Our lives can be full of challenges that leave us feeling sad, overwhelmed, alone, and afraid. Sometimes we are unable to understand why we harbor such feelings. Therapy allows us to sort through our emotions, unhelpful behaviors, and negative self-beliefs so that we can continue on with more clarity, self-assurance, purpose, and happiness.

You've been managing this carefully for a while now — watching, worrying, trying not to make it worse — and you're no closer to knowing what to do. I work with parents of teenagers who are past the point of waiting to see if things improve. Parents who need someone who will not only listen, but who is trained for what is actually happening. Maybe your teenager said something that frightened you. Maybe every morning is a battle, or meals have become a source of dread. Maybe you're the only one who knows how bad it actually is.

Hi, I’m Irrin! My practice is about helping people feel more connected to themselves. Life can get heavy; stress, the weight of past experiences, relationships, changes that throw us off track. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out the next step. I don’t focus on what’s “wrong.” I care about who you are today, what you’ve been through, and what’s possible moving forward. Whether it's because you've gone through some really hard things or because daily life just feels harder to manage, our goal is to find purpose, solutions, and comfort.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, parenting stress, or a major life transition, therapy can provide a space to slow down, better understand what's happening, and develop practical tools to move forward with confidence. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs.

FAQ - About Multiracial Counseling
Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.

How can a mixed race therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
