Congratulations! for taking the first step in creating a space for you to find balance. There are times in our lives when we just need a little help. We have tried to alleviate the fear, using practices we have used in the past. Unfortunately, we find that those practices are not working, as they once did. It is like a puzzle where we have most of the pieces, but a couple of pieces are missing that will allow us to see clearly what we need to do to feel better. I love puzzles and I love helping others find the pieces they need to understand themselves better. I am Dr. Nina (Ednita M. Wright). I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a Credentialed Alcoholism/Substance Abuse Counselor, living in Syracuse, New York. I have provided counseling for more than thirty years, to those individuals that have had concerns with substance use, feeling lost, grief, transitions (for example adolescence to adulthood), spirituality and identity. I am still teaching as a professor, after twenty-five years, in a community college in the Alcohol/Substance Abuse Counseling/Human Services/Teacher Education Department. I consult with academic institutions, community agencies and affiliation groups, regarding issues of inclusion. It is my belief that for our communities to truly be inclusive, you must want to be inclusive and be ready to stop mere tolerance. If I seem a good fit for you, I look forward to meeting with you. If I am not, I trust you find who you need to help you find balance. Have a day full of peace and love.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to make progress towards your goals. I encourage you to be honest with me about your needs so that your experience is productive and beneficial to your well-being. You can trust that I will be honest with you in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. I have an eclectic style, drawing on a variety of strength based techniques such as CBT, emotional regulation, and relaxation techniques. I have a warm, engaging style and my approach is collaborative, practical and solution focused. I approach each session with the understanding that the individual is the expert on themselves and that they bring a unique set of needs, goals and strengths. My belief is that my role is to help empower and guide each individual to see their potential and get “unstuck” from patterns that have not and are not working for them. My number one priority is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel supported in order to explore your experiences and challenges. That being said, our first session will be focused on building rapport. You will find yourself sharing about who you are and what has brought you to seek out therapy. We will talk about your history and background and begin to explore your initial goals.

I trained to become a spiritual life coach in 2002. It was a wonderful experience, but I felt I needed more education. I feel that incorporating the clinical skills of a mental health counselor into my training as a life coach is the perfect formula for supporting others traveling through this journey called life. I’ve worked with seriously mentally ill adults and adults with developmental disabilities. Working with different people has helped shape me as a therapist because people are unique and each experience and path to recovery is different, so I continue to hone my craft. I am trained in CBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. CBT is the focus of my practice and a powerful tool because our thoughts become things. In other words, what we feel and think we deserve is usually what we focus on. My passion for helping others has shaped my practice and continues to motivate me to find creative ways to support others on their journeys to healing. I currently hold a Doctorate in Human Services and my goal is to help others live their best life.
