About Provider

About Gail

I'm Gail A. Wright, LCSW, and I have practiced nonjudgmental, evidence-based psychotherapy to guide others in increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance. I work with adults facing life changes, emotional regulation (anxiety and depression), grief and loss, and relationship challenges. I focus on identifying and building strengths, and on observing, describing, and exploring options with curiosity and willingness to test them out. Evidence-based modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

I encourage clients to be realistic about self-care and self-awareness, and to be open to exploring coping and grounding skills, as well as alternatives to behavior practices that are not helping them achieve their desired outcomes or goals.

If you are interested in trying new strategies to bring balance to your life, I would be honored to work with you and help you achieve your goals.

"In my career I have learned there is no place for judgment in therapy. In order to build a balanced life, the focus needs to be on building on strengths, making observations, describing the issues, and exploring alternatives."

What types of clients do you work best with?
