Desireè Wright, MA, NCC

I am a proud Newark, New Jersey native with a passion for supporting others through life’s complexities. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Women’s and Gender Studies from New Jersey City University, and I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Clark Atlanta University. Outside the therapy room, I find joy in traveling, painting in the park, and embracing self-care practices that keep me grounded and inspired.

My counseling approach is rooted in a person-centered philosophy—meeting you exactly where you are with compassion and empathy. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adolescents alongside their families, incorporating play therapy techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), like mindfulness. Another specialty in my counseling approach is keeping a strong focus on women’s health and empowerment. Through continued education as a lifelong learner, I will continue to deepen my skills in evidence-based techniques. It is my honor to walk alongside individuals and families as they explore, heal, and grow through life’s vibrant experiences.

Desireè is under the direct supervision of Chanel Toson, LPC 010662.
