Judi Wright, LPC is a National Christian Counselor's Association (NCCA) Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor. This counseling uses a Biblically based approach for counseling called Temperament Therapy. This has a documented success rate of over 90% when used in a Christian counseling setting.
Temperament Therapy, developed by Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno at the National Christian Counseling Association, has been used with thousands of individuals over 30 years.
Understanding who you were meant to be, from the moment God began to knit you together in your mother's womb, is key to understanding your current issues and concerns.
Prayerfully working together we will seek to understand the areas of your life that are working well and those that are not.
Using God's Word as the guide, you will be able to choose how you want your life to be different and what you want to do about it.
Once you know and understand your own God-given basic temperament, you and your beloved will work together to determine how best to communicate each of your needs, strengths and weaknesses within your marriage.
We may also use other proven Christian resources to facilitate that communication such as: recommended outside reading, the Genesis Process, DVD lectures, small groups and/or more in-depth individual counseling.
Marriage is not easy, no spouse comes with an instruction book or illustrated how-to manual. However, understanding your own and your mate's God-given temperament coupled with the wise use of proven communication tools can make marriage's inevitable struggles easier.
Judi Wright has gone through the painful issue of divorce herself and knows the unspeakable turmoil every family member goes through in a divorce. However, she believes that God can heal most marriages if both parties are willing to do the work necessary to humble themselves and seek His will for their family. She will do her best to walk your marriage through a healing process with the Lord so that together you can know His hope and joy again.
Check the classes page of this website for information on marriage classes available that are taught or facilitated by Jud Wright.
Having raised two children and been part of a step family with a step daughter, the Lord has brought Judi Wright through much joy, pain, misery, disillusionment, happiness and hope.
We will work together to determine each family member's special, God-given temperament. Then, you will learn to break through old patterns and learn new ways to relate within your home and family.
The Lord can help your family in ways that may seem beyond your wildest dreams today. Trust Him to give you the desire and energy to do what it takes to create a loving, respectful and nurturing atmosphere in your home.
At times there will be group classes available on specific topics. Please see the classes page on this website for more information.
Beginning Thursday, February 11, 2010 Judi taught a 12 week evening class for women. This class was open for women who were looking for help in determing how their relationship with their earthly father had impacted their trust and faith in the Lord. In addition to the word of God, we used several Christian resources such as Daddy, do you love me by Allison and Rawson, What a Difference a Daddy Makes by Kevin Leman, Always Daddy's Girl and Healing for the Father Wound by H. Norman Wright.
If you are interested in finally being able to trust in the One who is trustworthy and to feel loved by the One who loves you absolutely unconditionally, please contact me for more information about how you can join the next class.
Temperament Therapy is a tool to discover your inborn God-given temperament. To discover your unique temperament we will use a brief questionaire that measures your needs, natural traits, strengths and weaknesses. By understanding your individual in-born temperament you will gain knowledge to find balance and the perfect place God has designed for you.
Together with the Lord, we can use this counseling model for your good.
No counseling in the world can help you until you are ready to help yourself. Temperament Therapy is a good tool. However, until your heart is willing to change, there will be no change that lasts.
Prayerfully consider if you are ready to put in the time, energy, and vulnerablity necessary for lasting change. If you are, then working together, we will ask the Lord to re-mold your heart into His image.
We can never change anyone but our own selves, of course. Lasting change in you can occur, if you are willing to do the work necessary.
