Amy Wright, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Amy!

I work with children, teens, adults, and couples navigating a wide range of challenges. Whether you're facing trauma, anxiety, depression, or simply seeking better coping skills, I'm here to help you find clarity and healing.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing trauma, ADD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia, and grief. I also support those seeking to develop stronger coping skills and navigate life transitions.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also draw from Reality Therapy, Gestalt, Jungian, and Psychodynamic approaches to emphasize personal responsibility and meet your unique psychological needs.

My communication style

Sessions with me are thoughtful, calm, and collaborative. I create a space where you feel heard and understood. Curiosity is encouraged, and I provide clear, insightful responses tailored to your needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always loved helping people identify their true potential and navigate difficult emotions. Creating a safe, compassionate environment where individuals can heal from past wounds and unlock their potential is deeply fulfilling and meaningful to me.

My goals for you

I help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Together, we identify concrete, measurable goals. I utilize a strength-based approach to support your growth and progress.

Our first session

I'll start by getting to know you, your interests, and what you hope to achieve. I listen carefully and ask follow-up questions to fully understand your goals. I utilize a strength-based approach and meet you where you are.
