Getting to know Derrick Wright

Hi there, I'm Derrick! I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. My focus I work best with teens, adults, and couples who are struggling with managing anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, we'll work together to create goals that are achievable and empowering. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, giving you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your needs, I may also incorporate trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and meditation. My communication style Clear and open communication is essential in the therapeutic process. I create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where I practice active listening and empathy. You'll have the opportunity to reflect on your experiences in a safe space where you can be yourself. My journey to mental healthcare My journey started with a desire to be of service to others. I've worked in healthcare, owned and operated my own business, and these experiences led me to become a mental health provider. My goals for you Therapy is a collaboration. We'll work together to identify and set goals that matter to you. As we work together, your goals may change as you gain new perspectives. I'm here to offer support and tools you need to continue moving closer to where you want to be in your life, even when things are difficult.
