What it’s like to work with Cathryn: You long to feel known, seen, and and loved for your most true self. You remember a time when you have experienced genuine acceptance and belonging, but right now that feels like a distant memory. Rather than finding worthiness outside of yourself, you desire to hold this deep knowing within yourself. You want an unshakable confidence in who you are and the value you bring to this world just by being you. You are in the right place. I deeply believe in the healing power of human connection, empathy, and vulnerability. I will create a space of warmth, safety, and openness so that you ultimately experience radical belonging and acceptance as your most authentic self. My commitment as a therapist is to allow my genuine self to be present in the therapeutic space as well. After all, I want to practice what I preach! You are worthy of a safe place to heal and wander back to you.

My name is Cathryn Wright, MA, LPC, NCC (she/her) and I am an individual and couples therapist based in Colorado. I imagine my own story intersects with parts of what brought you to consider therapy. I am a middle child and have assumed the role of peacemaker, confidant, and empathizer for most of my life. I have walked this same journey of building awareness, deconstructing past narratives around identity, and rebuilding a resilient and authentic self. I don’t believe we ever fully arrive, but rather are on a journey back to ourselves throughout our entire lives. I understand the vulnerability, fear, and courage it takes to walk a harder path, ultimately leading to confidence and joy. When my lived experience doesn’t align with yours, I will approach your story with gentleness, curiosity, and compassion. I truly believe in the power of therapy and I hope I can come alongside you in your journey! My love for people and experiencing the most abundant life continues outside of the therapy room. I love spending time with my partner and my energetic chocolate lab, going for long walks outside, cooking a new recipe, baking, and getting lost in music. https://www.cathrynwrightcounseling.com/identityselfworththerapy daily 0.75 2024-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622637c7dc52f7417bd57598/f3724ced-074d-4f1b-abc0-3e8196d092f6/mathilde-langevin-JpqSw8ajATA-unsplash.jpg Identity Formation & Self-Worth Therapy - Do you feel like you don’t recognize yourself anymore? Identity & Self-Esteem issues may sound like: “What is my purpose and how can I live a meaningful life?” “Why do I feel so self-conscious and insecure of how others view me?” “Why can’t I love or accept myself?” “Who even am I?” These questions surrounding your identity can often cause experiences of anxiety, anger, feeling stuck, apathetic, and distant from yourself and the people you love. These issues cause you to feel hopeless and lacking confidence in who you inherently are. They hold you back from showing up as the most true, free you. If you’re wondering where to even begin learning who you truly are, this is your first brave step. This is the journey back to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622637c7dc52f7417bd57598/f4b25e69-e5c4-44a1-ae84-c1cf802234ce/ke-atlas-eqHRrgRQDew-unsplash.jpg Identity Formation & Self-Worth Therapy - Therapy Process for Identity & Self-Esteem Issues You hope to belong within yourself and within this world.

I often look at different aspects that make up who you are and gradually build compassion, trust, and courage within those parts of you.

Do painful memories that pop up that you wish wouldn’t? Do you keep having the same conflict come up within yourself and your important relationships? Your past doesn’t have to impact your present anymore. When you hear the word “trauma" you may think of a specific event, memory, or relational wound. You may think of past abuse, childhood trauma, or neglect. The truth is that we all have experienced some trauma in our lives - it can be from a one-time event or years and years of small events that have caused us to feel disjointed from ourselves. Unresolved traumas often carry over into our current life, causing us to feel distracted, hyperaroused, and fragmented. These wounds may cause you to feel disconnected from others and yourself, even though your biggest desire is to experience true belonging and healing. You may be outside of the traumatic experience(s) now but still wonder why it is so hard to be vulnerable, experience intimacy, and genuine connection with others and yourself. You feel insecure, anxious, and confused at why past events continue to dictate your life today. Areas of Speciality for Trauma Therapy: Religious & spiritual trauma & abuse Childhood & developmental trauma Emotional neglect & abuse Relational trauma Family of origin dysfunction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622637c7dc52f7417bd57598/bbdac0e3-2058-47e9-81bd-9dad58cce92a/jon-tyson-9b6yj0m2WVA-unsplash.jpg Trauma Therapy - Trauma Therapy Process Experience lasting and profound healing through trauma therapy.
