Katie Wright

Hi! I'm Katie and enjoy working with a wide range of individuals and specialize in treating children, teens and young adults. My specialty areas include mood instability, anxiety, depression, issues related to gender identity and sexuality, difficulty launching into adulthood, and maladaptive coping mechanisms including self-harm and impulsive behaviors. I work well with people who are emotionally sensitive, may feel that they don’t belong, and have difficulty maintaining stable relationships. I strive to help people create a life that’s more enjoyable by learning to tolerate painful emotions and have more pleasant experiences.

My style as a therapist is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, while also being direct and active in the therapy process. I believe the therapeutic relationship works best when it's a real relationship between equals that involves mutual respect, collaboration, and sometimes humor.

I utilize Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I incorporate Mindfulness techniques to increase awareness of thoughts and emotions as well as promote relaxation. If you think I might be a good fit for you or your child, please schedule with me today.

My therapy style is client centered and solution focused. I offer techniques to alter and challenge thoughts and behaviors that impact your mental health. I strive to create a secure and non-judgmental space where clients feel at ease sharing their challenges.

Clients can expect that we will meet via teletherapy or in the comfort of my office. At our initial meeting, we will initiate the therapeutic relationship-building process. I will create a safe and empathetic space where trust is established. We will start building rapport, conduct needs-based assessments, and define goals.
