MORE ANNIE WRIGHT, LMFT:

I'm a classic example of someone who has made the personal professional.

After coming from and then healing my own extensive relational trauma background, I became a licensed psychotherapist - specifically a trauma therapist who specializes in relational trauma recovery - and, in addition to my clinical work with clients, I also founded and run a boutique, trauma-informed therapy center in Berkeley where I oversee a staff of 20 clinicians and 5 operations staff who deliver top-notch clinical care to over 475 clients weekly across California and Florida.

Moreover, I'm a mental health writer with over 200+ essays on my personal blog centered around recovering from childhood trauma.

My writing and opinions have been featured in Business Insider, Forbes, NBC, Buzzfeed, and The Huffington Post, to name but a few.

I’m also a psychoeducational online course creator.

Every bit of my work in the world - whether through my direct clinical work, running my therapy center, publishing mental health thought leadership, or creating online psychoeducational courses - is devoted to helping those from relational trauma backgrounds recover and have wonderful adulthoods despite their adverse early beginnings.

And, when I'm not working, I'm a mom to an incredible five-year-old daughter, a Peloton fanatic, and an avid international traveler.
