Getting to know Karissa Wight

Hello, I'm Karissa, a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for both teens and adults, focusing on distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and improving interpersonal communication skills. I believe that everyone struggles with something, and having someone to talk through thought processes with can help us see issues in a different light. I firmly believe that everyone has the power and ability to change and become whoever they wish to be, given the right tools. Real change, in my view, comes from within the individual. I hold two master's degrees—one in general psychology and another in family therapy. I chose to pursue family therapy because I believe that lasting change occurs when everyone within a system is invited to participate, rather than focusing on just one individual. My decision to specialize in DBT stems from its effectiveness. DBT teaches specific coping skills and labels them in ways that help us slow down our thought processes, find balance, and avoid the extremes of today's world. I genuinely enjoy helping people. It's both rejuvenating and challenging for me, constantly driving me to seek new ideas and approaches. When you work with me, you can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where we collaboratively explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll work on developing the skills you need to manage stress, improve relationships, and achieve your personal goals. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to help you become the best version of yourself.
