Thank you for reading my counselor profile. I have been a licensed (LPC) and certified (CRC) counselor for about 30 years. I have experience in a variety of rehabilitation and mental health settings. This clinical background has given me the opportunity to assist a diverse group of individuals with many different life issues. Fortunately, I have able to work with both younger and older adults throughout my career. My general counseling style is client centered. The tools I use are drawn from an eclectic group of counseling theories, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Of course, expertise and a solid theoretical base are important in effectively helping others, but every individual is unique. Therefore, everyone who seeks counseling has unique issues and deserves individualized assistance. No one is their "diagnosis" or "disability". The client is the expert on him or herself. Change can be difficult. My contribution, as a guide and partner, is to really listen, care, and share what has worked for others in situations similar to yours. Then, together, we can develop realistic goals leading to a better future.

My name is Kari Wright and I have been a licensed social worker for 13 years. First, let me say thank you for looking at my profile and also say congrats for the courage you have demonstrated in seeking support. As a clinician, my goal is to walk alongside you as you share your life. I seek to provide a safe space so that you can begin to feel better. Formally, I tend to use cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and EMDR. I have extensive experience with grief, loss, depression, and trauma, but also willing to explore any topic. I am comfortable working with adults and children. I am a clinician that's a Christian, but do not provide Christian counseling exclusively... I will NEVER attempt to talk about religion if you don't want to. Informally, I strive to make sure I understand what your saying, provide validation, feedback, and explore different perspectives. Therapy is a partnership so it will take both of us to get this right. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I hope to speak with you soon. Kindly Kari

I am a 2010 graduate of the University of Michigan School of Social Work. I spent the first 10 years of my career working in high needs school settings. While I loved that role, my real passion is in working with individuals and couples to develop strong therapeutic relationships. Working with couples is especially rewarding as I get to see two people who are struggling learn how to do the work to improve their communication, their intimacy and their enjoyment of the relationship with each other. I work with all ages and situations. I see each client as an individual on their own personal journey and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet my clients where they are in life and work with them to identify areas where they might need help evolving. I provide trauma focused care and I am passionate about helping clients identify traumatic psychological wounds that may be holding them back from becoming the best version of themselves. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is critical to a successful outcome. I look forward to joining you on your own journey.
