Claire Wright, MFT

 

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 have over fifteen years of experience with group leading and conducting trainings, workshops, and adult classes.
