👋 I'm Priscilla Wright and I'm thrilled that you're considering working with me on your journey toward improved mental health and well-being. Let me give you a snapshot of what I bring to the table, so you can decide if we might be a good fit. 🎓 First off, I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology . I'm also licensed in multiple states Over the years, I've worked in various roles, from Clinical Supervisor to Human Services Coordinator, gathering an array of experiences that help me offer personalized and effective care. 🙏 For me, therapy isn't just a quick fix. It's about building a long-term relationship where you feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm dedicated to working together to help you lead a more balanced and enriching life. 🌟 I continually strive for innovation and excellence. I've introduced programs like "Cuddle Sessions" with animals to help staff combat compassion fatigue, and my ongoing research interests include the fascinating impact of human-animal interactions on stress levels. These might seem unrelated, but it all adds to a more holistic approach to mental health. 📞 If you think we'd be a good fit, I would love to hear from you! Together, we can explore how to navigate the challenges you're facing and work towards a more balanced you. Looking forward to the possibility of working together!
What to Expect in Your First Session Starting therapy is a big step, and it’s normal to feel a mix of relief, curiosity, and even a little nervousness. Your first session with me is designed to be warm, supportive, and grounded — a place where you can breathe and simply be yourself. Here’s what you can expect: 🌱 A Gentle, Welcoming Start We’ll begin by getting settled and making sure you’re comfortable. I’ll confirm any basic information we need and give you space to ease into the conversation naturally. There’s no pressure to “have it all together” — you simply show up as you are. 🧭 Exploring What Brings You In We’ll talk about: What’s been happening in your life What challenges or emotions you’ve been navigating How things have been impacting your daily functioning What you’re hoping to change, understand, or feel You share at your own pace. There is no expectation to dive into anything before you’re ready. 🛠️ Creating a Collaborative Plan Together, we’ll begin shaping the direction of therapy. This may include: Identifying goals that feel meaningful to you Discussing approaches that align with your needs Exploring what progress might look like Setting a pace that feels safe and sustainable This is a partnership — we co-create the path forward. 💬 Room for Questions You’ll have time to ask anything you’d like: How therapy works My therapeutic style What future sessions will look like How long therapy might last Anything you’re unsure or anxious about Nothing is off-limits. This is your space. ✨ What You Won’t Experience Your first session will not be: Rushed Judgmental Overwhelming A pressure-filled deep dive We move at a pace that respects your nervous system and emotional readiness. ✨ How You’ll Leave the First Session My goal is that you leave feeling: Heard Supported Understood Grounded Clear about next steps Most clients say they leave the first session feeling lighter and more hopeful than they expected.
🌱 I have a strong focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy, and I've successfully treated a range of emotional and psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I'm particularly interested in evidence-based interventions, meaning that the strategies I recommend are supported by meticulous data and scientific research.
💬 What's unique about my approach is my commitment to individualized treatment plans. I believe in a patient-centered approach, which means I'm not just treating a diagnosis; I'm treating you as a whole person. 📚 Aside from clinical work, I teach psychology courses. Why does this matter to you? Well, my educational roles keep me up-to-date on the latest trends and findings in psychology, which I can directly apply to our sessions to provide you with the most current care possible.
My ideal clients are reflective, open to insight, and curious about their inner world — even if they’re scared or unsure where to start. They’re not expected to be perfect; they simply show up willing to explore, learn, and grow. Together, we work toward goals like: feeling more grounded and emotionally balanced reducing self-criticism and reconnecting with self-worth improving communication and relationship patterns understanding the roots of anxiety or depression healing from past experiences that still impact the present building stronger boundaries and a more stable identity reclaiming joy, confidence, and agency I’m especially well-suited for clients who want a therapist who is warm, direct, affirming, and collaborative — someone who can hold their story with care while also helping them challenge old patterns and create meaningful change. If you're looking for a space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and move toward the life you’ve been imagining, I’m here to help you take that next step.
