Helping ambitious women finally feel as good as their resume looks.

Welcome

I'm Annie Wright.

I specialize in something most therapists don’t understand: why driven and ambitious women can build outwardly impressive lives that feel painful and exhausting to live within.

Maybe you’re a tech executive who dazzles your board but has panic attacks on Sunday nights. Maybe you save other people’s children in the ER but lie awake wondering if you’re failing your own. Maybe you negotiate million-dollar deals but can’t tell your partner what you actually need. Maybe you manage complex teams with precision but get completely derailed by a cold text from your mother.

Underneath all of it — the version of you no one at work has ever seen. The one who opened her laptop not because anything was urgent, but because the screen felt safer than the silence. You’re not broken. That drive was a brilliant adaptation — your nervous system figured out early that staying impressive meant staying safe. It built your career. It’s also what’s running you into the ground.

My work — therapy, coaching, courses, my Substack community — helps you repair the proverbial foundation underneath what you’ve built: the neural pathways, beliefs, and patterns shaped by your earliest relationships. I know this work from the inside — not just from 15,000 clinical hours, but because I built my own life on an unrepaired foundation before I learned how to fix it.
