Dr. Whitney Wright is an orthodontist, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and author of Men Under Pressure: A Man’s Guide to Reclaiming Mental Health. A cofounder and former chief clinical officer of Risas Dental and Braces, he helped build a dental company that grew to twenty-seven offices across four states. Behind that professional success, anxiety, depression, burnout, and unresolved childhood trauma led him to step away from treating patients and seek intensive treatment at Sierra Tucson. His advocacy draws on lived experience rather than credentials as a mental health clinician, sharing lessons from therapy, recovery, and the ongoing work of protecting his well-being. Through candid storytelling and humor, Wright encourages men to challenge stigma, recognize their limits, communicate honestly, and seek professional support when needed. His work emphasizes that vulnerability and boundaries are strengths, not failures. He and his wife, Margaret, have three children, and he enjoys working on classic cars.
