Kristen Wright, LMFT

About Kristen’s work:

Kristen brings particular depth to her work with eating disorders, anxiety, and neurodiversity-related concerns. Kristen has extensive experience treating eating disorders, including clinical work at the EDTLA clinic under the direction of Dr. Lauren Muhlheim. Her approach emphasizes Family-Based Treatment (FBT), intuitive eating, Health at Every Size (HAES), and body-positive frameworks. She has completed over 2,500 supervised hours toward certification as a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS, pending) and continues to consult regularly with a certified FBT supervisor. FBT services are provided in-office.

She is also trained in EMDR and currently practices under consultative supervision with Bill White, LCSW, a clinician with over 30 years of experience with EMDR. In addition, she works with individuals experiencing anxiety disorders—including panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, and rejection sensitivity dysphoria—using evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy alongside psychoeducation and practical skills development.

With more than a decade of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, Kristen works with both youth and adults to build insight, self-understanding, and sustainable strategies for daily life. Across all areas of practice, she values collaboration, education, and empowerment, helping clients and families better understand themselves while creating meaningful momentum toward change.

Kristen was the first clinician to join Zenith as the practice expanded beyond a solo model, and she continues to play an integral role in shaping a culture rooted in care, collaboration, and clinical excellence. She approaches therapy with openness and curiosity, integrating cognitive, psychodynamic, narrative, and parts-based perspectives as appropriate. Kristen encourages clients to ask questions, understand their options, and take an active role in their care. She also values thoughtful collaboration across treatment teams and respects both Western and holistic approaches to health—believing that true empowerment comes through education, exploration, and informed choice.
