DR. KELLI L. WRIGHT
Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Kelli Wright is a clinical psychologist who has been in private practice since 2003. Her doctoral training in both the science and practice of psychology was completed at the University of Houston, Loma Linda Veterans Administration Medical Center in California, and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. She works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, with particular expertise in substance use concerns, anxiety, and depression.
Dr. Wright’s therapeutic approach is grounded in acceptance- and mindfulness-based strategies, helping people clarify what truly matters to them and take meaningful steps in those directions—even when difficult thoughts, emotions, or habits get in the way. She also has specialized training in harm-reduction-based treatment for substance use, including Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy, Moderation Management, and The Sinclair Method for excessive drinking. In addition, Dr. Wright provides ketamine-assisted therapy, supporting clients in using this innovative treatment as part of a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to healing and change.
Outside of her professional work, Dr. Wright lives in Houston with her husband and two spoiled rotten dogs, Abbey and Stanley. A native Californian, she enjoys hiking, cycling, and time at the beach, and can often be found “urban hiking” throughout the Heights, listening to live music, or trying out the latest Houston eatery.
