Rachel Wright is a compassionate clinical social worker and therapist dedicated to guiding individuals through their grief journeys. She describes grief as a wilderness—an expansive, inhospitable forest that one must navigate. Rachel emphasizes the importance of becoming acquainted with this intricate terrain to discover the sometimes elusive trail leading toward healing. Even experienced travelers can find themselves backtracking, reminding us that mastery over grief is not always attainable. In Rachel's view, the vital signposts in this wilderness are the trail markers that affirm individuals are progressing on their healing paths. As the owner of Paws to Connect Counseling, LLC, Rachel blends her roles as a psychotherapist, mobile veterinary social worker, consultant, and presenter to address the critical intersection of veterinary medicine and mental health. Her deep passion for this work stems from her own experiences and witnessing the profound connections between humans and animals. With expertise in grief, traumatic bereavement, and life transitions, Rachel is committed to accompanying clients on their challenging yet transformative journeys toward healing and renewal.
