About Dr. Ednita Wright
Dr. Ednita Wright is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 35 years of counseling experience, bringing deep knowledge of substance use, grief, life transitions, identity, and spiritual concerns to her work. She frames the therapeutic process like a puzzle - many people arrive with most of the pieces in place but need help locating what is missing to gain clarity and move forward. Wright draws on a range of clinical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based methods, trauma-focused work, and Jungian and existential perspectives to tailor care to each individual.
In addition to direct counseling, she has taught for over 25 years in community college programs related to alcohol and substance abuse counseling, human services, and teacher education, and she consults with academic institutions and community agencies on inclusion practices. Her practice has addressed a wide spectrum of concerns - stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, grief and end-of-life support, eating and intimacy-related issues, and challenges around self-esteem and life purpose - while also attending to needs that arise from aging, chronic illness, adoption and foster care, first responder issues, and other focused areas.
Based in Syracuse, New York, Wright combines clinical experience, teaching, and community consultation to help people identify the missing pieces that can lead to greater balance and well-being. Her work emphasizes practical strategies, reflective exploration, and collaborative problem-solving to support meaningful change.
