ABOUT
Patricia Behn-Wright, ATR, LMHC
You don't have to navigate anxiety, trauma, or emotional overwhelm alone. I provide trauma-informed, client-centered therapy for adults seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change in a safe and supportive space.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, EMDR-trained therapist, and Registered Art Therapist with over 11 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should feel human, collaborative, and empowering, not rushed or judgmental.
I strive to create a therapeutic space that is grounded, compassionate, and collaborative—one that balances thoughtful education and healing with moments of appropriate humor and ease.
My Style
My Approach
Therapy with me is personalized and integrative. I draw from evidence-based and expressive approaches including:
EMDR therapy to help the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing experiences
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen emotional bonds and relational security
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to build emotional regulation and resilience
Art therapy to explore emotions that may be difficult to express verbally
No artistic skill is required—creative tools are simply another pathway to insight and healing.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with adults and teens who feel:
Stuck in emotional or relational patterns
Anxious, overwhelmed, or chronically stressed
Impacted by trauma or PTSD
Disconnected from themselves despite external success
Struggling with self-esteem, chronic pain, or emotional awareness
