“Nice conversation but the call ended with no follow up plans or goal setting for future sessions. There also wasn’t an intro or intake of any kind. It turned out to be just a casual “share how you’re feeling in the moment” chat.”

Dr. Wright exudes a genuinely kind and caring energy. I haven't gone to therapy in over 10 years and did not know what to expect. Dr. Wright exceeded my expectations as she pushes me toward better mental & emotional health. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Wright is an avid listener and paid attention the entire time. I felt at home during the session and hope to continue in the future

Wow! I have gone through a number of mental health professionals and none have made such a strong impression. That 1 session felt like multiple sessions. I’m so excited to continue my journey with Dr. Wright. Feels like a brand new day!

Clear communication, great bedside manner, doesn’t make you feel like an outsider or like you’re the “patient.” There’s a descent amount of conversation, but she also listens and is very sweet in her replies.

It was a really wonderful first virtual visit - Dr Wright was friendly, approachable and thoughtful in her questions and the overall discussion. I have already booked a follow-up appointment!

This was my first session with Dr. Wright and I immediately felt at ease and that I could be open with her. She has a warm and compassionate aura but she also knows how to hold you accountable. I am really looking forward to working with her and I am very positive about it. She also gave me a few tools and tips to use and so I am grateful she is already sharing her tools, rather than waiting till a few sessions in.
