ABOUT DR. WRIGHT

Licensed Psychologist (Arizona)
Nationally Certified School Psychologist
Certified School Psychologist (Arizona)

I earned my Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Arizona. My graduate training focused on assessment and treatment of common childhood and adolescent disorders including Learning Disabilities, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and mood and behavioral concerns. Most recently, I have worked as a School Psychologist and am knowledgeable about the various ways that developmental delays, medical conditions, behavioral, and social-emotional difficulties can impact a child's ability to learn and be successful academically.

I believe comprehensive assessments are a collaborative process to help children and families learn about individual strengths and to tailor treatment recommendations based on a child’s unique needs. My approach to treatment includes drawing on cognitive-behavioral interventions and other evidence-based approaches to provide the best treatment for each client.

As a mother of young children, I understand that as parents we want to help our children as best as possible. I look forward to working with you and your child to identify individual strengths and needs and collaboratively work toward positive changes.

THERAPY EXTERN

My name is Cori Manning, and I am a therapy extern for Dr. Wright. I am currently a Ph.D. student in the School Psychology program at the University of Arizona. Before beginning graduate school, I worked as part of a team to provide mental health services and support to teens in schools and residential-based psychiatric treatment centers. My graduate training has focused on the assessment and treatment of many childhood disorders and how they may impact a child's ability to learn and thrive in a school setting. As a school psychology practicum student, I have conducted comprehensive assessments and provided consultation and intervention services to address students' academic, behavioral, and social concerns.

I have a passion for working with children, teens, and their families, and look forward to working with you.
