Dana Wright, LPC

It can be so hard and overwhelming to take that first step especially when life feels like an uphill battle. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 14 years of experience walking alongside children, adolescents, and adults.  I specialize in trauma therapy and use a compassionate strength based approach to help people move through pain into a place of connection and strength. 

In my practice, I often incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support healing from trauma, anxiety, and difficult life experiences. Whether you’re navigating the effects of trauma, facing relationship challenges, or a child who’s struggling, I offer a safe welcoming space where you can feel seen and supported. 

I see clients both in person in my cozy office and virtually across the state of Michigan. My goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and equipped to move forward. Let’s work together to uncover your strengths and create meaningful change.
