About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Missouri. For over ten years, I have been offering counseling and life coaching services to individuals, couples, and families. Some of my specializations include working with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, emotional trauma, work-related problems, arousal dysregulation, OCD issues, self-sabotaging thought processes, clinical mental health issues, career struggles, and many other significant life challenges. As a mental health specialist and performance consultant, I greatly enjoy working with traditional and non-traditional couples.
My professional orientation centers on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and solution-focused counseling. I believe that therapy is much like a beautiful choreographed dance step. Client and counselor work together to achieve success through a reciprocal relationship built upon respect, trust, and positivity. Entering into the counseling relationship takes extraordinary courage and strength of character. I pride my practice on being welcoming, positive, genuine, and client-centered. This responsibility to help my clients is a sacred trust not taken lightly.
Counseling sessions are generally a combination of talk therapy, discussion, problem-solving exercises, and experiential activities designed specifically to help each client overcome their unique challenges. Some of the tools used in the counseling process include mindfulness training, cognitive reframing, goal setting, positive self-talk, communication skill building, introspection, motivational interviewing, and traditional narrative discourse. In addition to the more traditional approaches, I carry specializations and certifications in performance psychology, clinical hypnotherapy, wellness coaching, and career counseling. I have spent many years living in Europe, Asia, and North America. As such, I enjoy the opportunity to work with clients from very diverse backgrounds.
I truly look forward to working beside you through the counseling relationship. I truly count it as an honor and a privilege to share your life experience.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Paul Wright. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
The experience with Dr. Wright has been wonderful. He is kind, caring, and authentic. I feel like we are making progress with his help! I would highly recommend Dr. Wright.
DR. Wright is everything you could ever hope for in a therapist.
He should be a Guru. Words can’t describe his positivity and knowledge on how to overcome life.
I feel validated. He takes the time to listen then offer a thoughtful comment, advice, or prompt to think about things. He truly has had similar life experience as me (athlete, parent, coach) and is able to communicate in an effective way.
We absolutely love Dr. Wright! We've been working with him for a few months. We felt a great connection with him from day one, and it's because he is genuinely interested in helping us. He listens to both of us and does a great job at giving us equal attention and making us both feel heard. We're a work in progress, but we can feel good that we at least found someone that we both really like to help us.

What Dr. Wright has done for our marriage has been amazing!!! We are so incredibly grateful for him!!
Paul is awesome, highly skilled and has made huge improvements to our relationship.
Dr Wright is positive, realistic and understanding. He understands the personalities of individuals very quickly and honours who they are. He uses humour, real-life anecdotes and care in his sessions. Would highly recommend him!
