About Me!
Dr. Jennifer Y. Wright
BACKGROUND
I graduated from Florida International University with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling in 1999 and a Ph.D. in Lifespan Development in 2001. I have been practicing psychotherapy with children and adults since 2001. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, grief counseling, marriage and family counseling and a range of behavioral, emotional, relational and adjustment issues, all from a Christian perspective. I am aware of the importance of following your lead when it comes to spirituality. Prayer is incorporated in our sessions if the client chooses to. And if you choose not to include spirituality in the discussion I will respect that completely.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
I look forward to embarking on a journey of discovery with you! We will employ a wide variety of methods in our analysis of where you are, how you got here and where you’d like to be. Many times that will involve a deeper exploration of your true identity and an exposure of your false selves. Unlike treatment by a medical doctor, you will find that the success of your therapeutic process depends on your decision to play an active role, working both during our sessions and at home. This is hard work but one of the most beneficial things you have ever done for yourself. I consider myself a facilitator in your journey of healing and growth. You will get out of this process what you put in. I can almost guarantee it will get worse before it gets better, but hold on. Perseverance will be the key to riding the waves of doubt and pain to the other side where love, peace and joy live freely in and through you. It is my honor to come alongside you and your loved ones as you take this next step towards a more rewarding and fulfilling life.
Therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so you should be very careful about the therapist you select. If you have questions about my procedures, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, I will be happy to help you set up a meeting with another mental health professional for a second opinion. You are worth this investment and will be happy you made it.
