Dr. Denise Wright

Dr. Wright is an Educational and Clinical Psychologist and Assistant Professor. Doctorate from Howard University, taught in Allied Health Sciences, Nursing & Pharmacy for a number of years. Primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is effective to manage trauma, depression and anxiety. Expertise also includes helping clients with going through transition(s) i.e., retirement, chronic health issues, changes in vocation, etc. Dr. Wright is also certified in Integrative Medicine which involves examining lifestyle choices, i.e., food, sleep, and obesity and how it may affect one's mental health.

The therapeutic relationship should be a healing one as well as interactive. I ascribe to a person-centered approach to allow person(s) to identify their goals and how I can help them achieve their desired outcome(s).

I have found that for most people is the ultimate desire is to achieve a sense of balance and stability as well as a feeling of safety and security. The ideal outcome is for person(s) to walk away with a set of strategies they can apply in the future to maintain a sense of well-being.
