Welcome to my
webpage! My name is Claire Wright. As a therapist with a Humanistic
orientation, I believe that people already have inside them all they need to
live more satisfying lives. My professional
experience shows that you can gain access to your inner knowing and feel
better about life, through the support and presence of a knowledgeable
therapist. Working together we explore your thoughts, feelings, wants,
beliefs and behaviors. We work to develop skills such as self-awareness,
assertiveness and communication. Are you feeling stressed with partner,
family, or career? I guide
my clients to find more rewarding ways to be in life. Areas we may explore
include: ·
relationships ·
self-esteem ·
life transitions ·
stress ·
childhood concerns ·
grief, loss ·
anxiety ·
depression Individuals Do
you find yourself sad or fearful more than you would like to be? Are you feeling stagnant and unsure of your
life purpose? Do you compare yourself to others and come up short? I work
with compassion for individuals of all ages to discover your unique strengths
and goals. We can identify and build skills to overcome what holds you back
in life. Couples Are you considering marriage
or having children? Are you noticing disappointments or more differences of opinion
with your partner? Do you
contemplate ending your relationship? Bringing sensitive issues to the
safety of confidential therapy can help you express your thoughts and
feelings to find some resolution. I can help you better understand yourself
and each other. Family Do you want to start a family?
Are you concerned about a family
member’s behavior? Do you experience irritation or disappointment with your
children or extended family members? I work with families to address
emotional distress, and increase understanding. I can help you become clearer
on goals and dreams for yourself and your loved ones. Women’s Groups What
are your behaviors, feelings, wants and needs in relation to others? I offer a weekly group for adult women of
all ages and life stages. A group offers a special setting to learn about
you, and to practice changes which you decide to make. As a group participant
you become more effective in life through support and reflection over time. SoulCollage™ Are
you looking for a creative way to access your inner wisdom? I am a
trained facilitator in SoulCollage™, which applies intuitive art to learn
about yourself. About Me My passions and focus are in leading groups and counseling
individuals, couples, and families. I

completed the requirements for the National Registry of Certified Group
Psychotherapists. I am a member of the American Group Psychotherapy
Association and the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
