Getting to know Shawntae Wright
Hello. My name is Shawntae Wright, LCSW. I use an integrative approach to therapy, utilizing CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, and DBT skills to create a customized treatment plan tailored to the individual, couple, or family's goals.
My approach
I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and DBT skills in practice. Both are highly effective treatments addressing a wide range of mental health issues. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, while DBT skills help with emotional regulation and maintaining healthy relationships.
My focus
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. It’s a privilege to support individuals in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges.
My communication style
You will feel safe in session with me. I practice active listening, reflective feedback, and use open-ended questions to help you sort through the concerns that brought you to treatment. The environment will always be warm, nonjudgmental, and caring—supporting you in doing your sacred work.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have been a social worker for 18 years and remain passionate about the work I do. I am highly empathetic and compassionate. My desire to help, personal experiences, interest in human behavior, and conviction in the capacity for humans to change drive me. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento.
My goals for you
I begin goal setting with a thorough assessment to understand your concerns, strengths, and history. It will be a collaborative process to define meaningful and achievable goals.
My first session with you
During our first sessions, I will gather information about your personal and family history, mental and emotional well-being, previous mental health treatment, and discuss your therapy goals.
