Hunter Wright, Intern
Hunter is a Counseling Intern pursuing his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Colorado Christian University. His clinical interests include anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, abuse recovery, life transitions, men’s issues.
Hunter offers a calm, compassionate space where clients can speak honestly, feel understood, and work toward meaningful change. His person-centered approach honors each client’s experiences, strengths, and goals. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize connections among their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and develop practical ways to respond to life’s challenges.
Hunter also draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and family systems approaches. These perspectives help clients explore conflicting feelings and familiar patterns with greater understanding and compassion, including how family experiences and relationships shape the way they see themselves and relate to others.
Before entering the counseling profession, Hunter worked with Young Life, a youth outreach ministry, where he oversaw an equine program and worked with college students and other young adults. He later spent more than two decades in commercial construction management, leading teams and providing organizational training. His experiences in youth ministry, men’s group work, and his own personal journey led him to pursue a career in counseling.
Hunter was drawn to Still Waters because of its commitment to Christian counseling and the opportunity to support the organization’s work in the broader community.
Hunter believes every person deserves dignity, compassion, and freedom from judgment. His Christian faith informs his desire to care for each person as someone created in the image of God. For clients who wish to incorporate faith into counseling, he welcomes the opportunity to explore their concerns from a Christian perspective.
Hunter provides counseling services under the supervision of Marcy McClain, LPC-S.
