Sarah E. Wright PsyD, CST/S

Sarah E. Wright is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and Supervisor. She has worked clinically with issues of sexuality since 2005 and has engaged in extensive supervision training both domestically and internationally. Currently she works full time in a counseling center at a university in South Carolina, where she has over 15 years of service providing individual and group therapy, supervision, training, and leadership. She teaches an undergraduate class on human sexuality, maintains a small private practice, and provides various trainings and workshops across the country.

As a first-generation college student, Dr. Sarah prioritizes making information easily understood. She values inclusivity and cultural curiosity, with the belief that understanding is an antidote to judgment. Clinically, her aim is to allow people space and support to explore the origins of their concerns, and to decide with guidance and intention how to best address them.

Dr. Sarah has a growing passion for exploring the complexities of the human brain. From the impacts of intense stress to the benefits of psychedelics, she maintains a value of learning how and why interventions work before utilizing them clinically. Engaging from a brain-based perspective allows people to understand the evolutionary function some issues may serve, and to allow for an intentional means of pursuing change.
