Hunter Wright, Intern
Hunter Wright is a Counseling Intern pursuing his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Colorado Christian University. He is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and hope.
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. After returning to Birmingham, he 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 eventually led him to pursue a career in counseling.
Hunter was drawn to Still Waters because of its commitment to providing individual counseling while also creating opportunities to serve people in the community who might not otherwise seek help in a traditional counseling setting. Through his internship, he will counsel clients at Still Waters and support the organization’s work in the broader community.
Hunter is known for his calm presence, thoughtful listening, and genuine desire to help people feel seen, understood, and supported. He strives to create a safe and welcoming environment where clients can process difficult experiences honestly and work toward meaningful healing and growth.
Hunter believes every person deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and freedom from judgment. His Christian faith informs his desire to see and care for each person as someone created in the image of God. For clients who wish to incorporate faith into counseling, Hunter welcomes the opportunity to approach their concerns from a Christian perspective.
His clinical interests include anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, abuse recovery, life transitions, men’s issues, and working with adolescents and young adults. Hunter values a client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique story while helping clients develop practical tools for lasting change.
Hunter provides counseling services under the supervision of Marcy McClain, LPC-S, while continuing to develop his clinical skills through graduate training and supervised practice.
