I am Dr. Savannah Wright, a licensed psychologist in Tucson, AZ. I offer therapy and psychological evaluation services for children and teens ages 5 through young adult. Through therapy, I help children understand their big emotions and how to navigate through emotional reactions in more helpful, positive ways.
I also help guide teens through their challenging teenage years that may be further impacted by mental health struggles, such as anxiety and depression. My overall goal is for kids and families to see and experience positive change in the home and school environments.

Services
I earned my Ph. D. in School Psychology from the University of Arizona. My graduate training focused on assessment and treatment of common childhood and adolescent disorders including Learning Disabilities, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and mood and behavioral concerns.
Most recently, I have worked as a School Psychologist and am knowledgeable about the various ways that developmental delays, medical conditions, behavioral, and social-emotional difficulties can impact a child's ability to learn and be successful academically.

The teen years and high school are difficult years (in my opinion - the most difficult years!). Life at this age is overwhelming. Emotions have their highs and lows. You've got major life decisions going on or coming up. You're probably trying to figure out "who you are." Teens come to therapy for all types of reasons.
Bringing a child to therapy is a big decision for most parents. You might worry that seeking therapy for your child means that you are not an adequate parent and can't handle problems on your own. Maybe you worry what others think of you and your child, or feel bad that there is something wrong. These thoughts can easily run through a parent's head because our society forgets that a psychological problem is no different than a physical problem.
Comprehensive psychological testing & evaluation for children and teenagers can be an important piece in helping to accurately diagnose and design effective treatments. Learning a child's strengths and weaknesses can help parents, therapists, and the school design better treatments for a child with learning or behavior difficulties.
Learning disability evaluations, also known as psychoeducational evaluations, assess a child's learning potential as well as specific academic strengths and weaknesses. These evaluations help to identify whether a child has a specific learning disability such as dyslexia (reading disability), dysgraphia (writing disability), and/or dyscalculia (math disability).
