Wondering how to overcome and modify your current situation? Struggling to find hope and direction? I work with each individual to determine your own goals and define a purpose to help you outline ways to better manage your current situation. I use an eclectic approach to meet you where you are, set goals and determine manageable and reasonable ways to set boundaries, accept yourself and grow in the way that you desire to become healthier and more at peace. I have experience working with anxiety, life transitions, addictions, trauma, boundary setting, eating disorders, self acceptance and self-care.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains & bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

'We do what we want' is a primary premise in the approach Karen takes to counseling, and a clear reflection and understanding of what that means to each client, is where she will begin. Karen's counseling style is based in Reality Therapy; our choices are powerful. She will help her clients to take stock of where he or she is, where they truly desire to be, and help search her client's soul to determine what he or she is willing to do to achieve success as they define it.

If you are ready to dive deep, explore the depths of all that you are, and are eager to make changes within yourself, then it's time to connect.

Have you ever uttered the words "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" or felt like even when you are happy, that you are just waiting for the other shoe to fall? Do you have thoughts that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change and you find yourself in the same toxic relationships over and over again? Maybe you have even had thoughts that it's all too much and there never seems to be that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel that everybody keeps talking about. Yet something keeps you going, some small voice inside you knows you want more, knows you are capable of more.

With a background as a professional baseball player, and as a middle school physical educator, I've developed a deep passion for humanity as whole; founded through relationships with teammates, coaches, mentors, teachers, friends, colleagues, and students. Currently, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) through Champions Counseling in Colorado Springs, and I am taking new clients. I do not judge anyone based on their problems, struggles, misfortunes, or regrets. I am here to do my best to make a positive impact in the lives of community members. Come as you are, I do not judge.

Trapped. Anxious. Worried. Out of Control. Done. You smile and participate in your daily activities, but really you’re just trying to get through the day. You have racing, intrusive thoughts that you cannot seem to ignore. You want to move forward. You want to work on these things, but a part of you cannot seem to stay on the horse. Perhaps your fear gives you a sense of comfort and routine, yet you know that this is unhealthy. Let’s gear up and battle this together. Are you ready?

My name is Michelle Wright and I am the owner of Beacon of Hope Counseling, LLC. My past experiences and hope to help others led me to the field of counseling and creating Beacon of Hope Counseling. I have learned through the years life is filled with joyous moments and then periods of difficulty and uncertainty. When experiencing life's barriers one can feel anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, depressed and even hopeless. Past events and trauma can also become barriers in us being our best selves. In these moments counseling can be helpful in gaining insight and learning ways to best cope.

Love and Life gets complicated... Anxiety, Trauma, D.V., Abuse, Addictions, Complex Grief, Self Harm, Marriage and Family issues may arise and we become blindsided. Hope and recovery is possible. Empower yourself for change.

Life can be complex, challenging and difficult to manage; however, people are the most important change agent of their life's journey, and are stronger than their circumstances with the right support. Therapy is more than managing symptoms or tolerating distress; it is an opportunity to collaboratively create a plan to help you become more successful. Human beings have an incredible ability to grow, change and develop. Lets begin your journey to a life "well lived". I have the utmost compassion in treating individuals with a variety of mental health and life circumstance issues.

As an art therapist and sex therapist in training, I see our work together as sacred, deeply rooted in trust and respect. The therapy I offer is creative arts-based, person-centered, trauma-informed, feminist-relational, and sex-positive. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with answers, rather, I will walk alongside you as you carve your path of healing, explore your truths, and deepen your relationship with self and others. I strive to provide a safe space for you to process and to just be yourself on this process.

Asking for help can be difficulty but this is a major step you have to take towards your recovery. I believe everyone should be listened to, respected and deserve a kind/compassionate therapist like myself that can help them as they struggle at some point in their lives. Counseling is a great resource to help an individual through the crisis, and can empower you to make changes in your relationships, personal and life decisions. I will strive to create an empowering therapeutic environment to help you achieve these goals. My overall goal is to give you the skills and tools needed to become the overall best version of you!
