Laura Wright, PhD
Director, Training
Dr. Wright got her PhD in Counseling Psychology from Florida State University in 2000. She completed her Doctoral Internship and Post-Doc at the Counseling Center at The University of California, Davis. Her undergraduate degree in psychology was completed at the University of Florida.
Dr. Wright has a passion for training and supervision and created the Doctoral Internship at Florida Gulf Coast University CAPS. She uses an interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, and multicultural/feminist approach to therapy. Even though this approach doesn’t sound funny, she also uses humor in therapy when appropriate. Dr. Wright also specializes in working with students with eating disorder and body image issues, career development concerns, and behavioral health. Additionally, she specializes in college student mental health having worked in University Counseling Centers for the past 15 years.
Dr. Wright takes a developmental approach to supervision and training. This means providing more structure and framework towards the beginning of training and then working collaboratively with supervisees to take on increasing levels of autonomy as appropriate.
Outside of her role as a psychologist, Dr. Wright loves to spend time with her family, traveling, and experiencing new cultures. She also enjoys spending time outside in beautiful Southwest Florida, yoga, and theatre.
