Individual therapy with Annie Wright

There’s more to you
than the part
that holds it together.

You can speak with authority in a meeting and lose your words when a parent is disappointed in you. You may understand the pattern, know where it began and still feel your body react before you’ve had a chance to think. Knowing why isn’t always enough to change what happens.

I offer individual therapy for driven women working through relational trauma: the lasting effects of harmful or persistently unsafe relationships. We look at what you’ve lived through, what’s difficult now and what you want to be different in your everyday life.

What brings someone here

You don’t have to
wait until everything
falls apart.

Perhaps you’re doing well at work and finding it harder to know what you feel, what you want or who you are when no one needs anything from you. Rest brings guilt rather than relief. Being needed has become familiar; asking for something yourself is another matter.

You don't have to arrive with a theory about yourself. We can begin with what happened this week, what keeps happening, and what you'd like help understanding. Your history matters, and so do the relationships, health, and circumstances you're living with now.

Tell me what you keep getting caught in, what you’ve already tried and what you’re tired of carrying. Those questions help us decide what to focus on and how to begin.

What therapy can feel like

We start with your life.
Not a demand to tell everything.

You may be able to explain the pattern beautifully and still feel caught in it when the conversation is happening. In therapy, we have room for more than the explanation: the feeling, what happens in your body, and what makes a different response difficult. We decide together how to approach that work.

We look at what’s happening now.

A conversation with your mother that stays with you for days. A partner’s disappointment that feels impossible to tolerate. The way you keep working long after you wanted to stop. We begin with what brings you here and consider your history alongside your present relationships, health and circumstances.

You don’t have to arrive with a polished story or know which experiences “count.” Assessment helps us understand what care fits, rather than assuming that every difficulty has the same explanation.

We make room for what you feel.

Understanding why you apologize quickly is different from noticing the fear that arrives before the apology. Our work can include recognizing those moments, attending to what happens in your body and developing ways to stay with difficult feelings at a manageable pace.

That doesn’t mean forcing yourself through distress. If something feels too much, too fast or unhelpful, that belongs in the conversation about how we work.

We choose approaches together.

I draw on EMDR, parts-work-informed therapy and somatic approaches. EMDR is a structured treatment that can be used to work with distressing memories. Parts work offers language for conflicting responses within you, such as wanting closeness and also wanting to retreat. Somatic work attends to bodily experience, not only the story you can explain.

These aren’t a checklist every client must complete. Assessment, preparation, consent and your response guide which approaches we use and when.

The relationship matters too.

Relational trauma happens in relationships, so the relationship between us deserves attention. You can tell me when you feel misunderstood, disagree with an interpretation or find yourself trying to be the “good” client who never asks for anything.

If you leave a session feeling misunderstood, or notice yourself agreeing with me when you don’t agree, I want us to be able to talk about it. What happens between us can be part of the treatment, too.

And we keep asking what’s changing outside the session.

What happens after you close the screen matters. Can you notice the familiar reaction a little sooner? Can you tell someone what you need, or recover from a difficult conversation without turning the whole evening against yourself? We keep returning to your goals and whether our work is useful in your life. There isn't a promised timetable.

Making contact

A brief inquiry
is enough.

Tell me you’re asking about therapy and where you expect to be physically located for sessions. Please don’t send detailed clinical history, diagnoses, medication lists or medical records through the website.

Contacting the practice doesn’t establish a therapist-client relationship. Clinical intake and written agreements are separate steps.

From inquiry to care

From an inquiry to a decision about care.

Tell me what you’re looking for.

A brief therapy inquiry is enough. You don’t need to send private records or a complete personal history.

Review the practical details.

We’ll confirm fit, current availability, fees and the proposed arrangements before you decide.

Decide whether to proceed.

An inquiry isn’t a commitment. The relevant agreements and next steps are separate from this first contact.
