Deborah Wright, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Deborah!

I meet clients where they are and work together to identify goals that improve quality of life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence.

My focus

I work with adults navigating life transitions such as parenting, middle age, grief and loss, immigration and acculturation, and racial identity concerns. I commonly treat anxiety, depression, and ADD in both individual and group settings.

My approach

I tailor therapy to your specific needs, most often using cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to address challenges and stressors. Through these methods, we establish trust, define clear goals, and work steadily toward achieving them.

My communication style

My style is calm, honest, caring, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable sharing without fear of judgment, allowing us to work together openly and authentically.

My journey to mental healthcare

From an early age, I found myself listening to others and offering support. I consider it a privilege when clients share difficult parts of their lives with me. I'm continually inspired by how people cope and persevere through their storms.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify goals that matter to you. I don't tell you what to do; instead, we establish trust and collaborate on your path forward. This partnership makes it easier to achieve meaningful change.

Our first session

I'll ask questions to understand what brought you here and what you hope to gain from therapy. This session gives us both a chance to get to know each other, and you can ask me anything about the therapeutic process.
