“Dr. Wright was patient, understanding, and provided a great initial visit. I am hopeful to continue working with him.”
Lauren C.January 16, 2019
“Meeting with Jeffrey has made truly positive impacts on my life. The questions he asks me, the direction our conversations lead, have allowed me to clearly see the reality of my situations. Thanks to his guidance, I feel confident to take action on where I need to grow. Compared to other therapists I've had, Jeffrey's approach is professional, direct, and knowledgeable, especially in the LGBTQIA+ vernacular. Myself as a gender queer creative individual with very bad anxiety and depression have never felt more comfortable in a therapy session! ”

Getting to know Jeffrey Wright
-- Please note that I am an out-of-network provider. To use health insurance to pay for sessions, you must have out-of-network benefits. If you use insurance, I submit all documentation and do all billing so you won't have to send in receipts. If you are paying for sessions out of pocket instead of using health insurance, I offer a sliding-scale fee. --
My role as your therapist is to help you rebuild your relationship with yourself so that you can live your best life. I use a two-pronged approach: psychodynamic therapy to focus on treating the root causes of what is troubling you, rather than the symptoms that come from it, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to target problematic behaviors and thought patterns that lead to depression, anxiety, and addiction. These approaches in tandem can deepen your understanding of who you are and how you relate to others while rooting out cycles that no longer serve you, so that you can become more confident, secure, and fulfilled.
Currently I am an adjunct professor of counseling psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. But I have been passionate about LGBTQ mental health since 2013, when I began volunteering with the Trevor Project as a instant-message counselor for queer youth in crisis. I followed this passion to Columbia University, where I completed two masters degrees in psychological counseling and received specialized training in multicultural counseling and bilingual therapy (English/Spanish). At Columbia I also received training in substance use, family therapy, and LGBTQ issues. My work as a therapist is heavily informed by crisis work, intersectional feminism, queer theory, and person-centered therapy. In other words, I will meet you where you are and tailor my approach to your specific needs. Together, let's transform your relationship to yourself

Jeffrey did a good job of guiding a therapy neophyte through the session.

Jeffrey is exactly as he describes on his website...and warm!
January 30, 2019Michael J.Verified patient
Seemed more focused on the transactional nature of the arrangement (put a lot of pressure on me, almost like a used car salesman, to come up with the amount I would shell out per session.) That was his first concern. Second, he wanted me to sign a contract re: I get three absences per year before he charges you for the session anyway. Life happens - I can't guarantee I will be free. He may be very smart and caring, but he seemed to care more about money than my wellbeing. Not a good look.

Through Jeffrey’s thorough and professional approach to therapy, I feel as though I have gotten to explore and eventually understand aspects of myself I wouldn’t have been able to without his help and encouragement. He makes me feel comfortable, safe, and able to express my emotions and feelings. It is clear that he genuinely cares about my wellbeing and it is because of that I would recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist that will stay the course with you as you delve into the complexities of your human existence.
