Hello! My name is Avis Edwards. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have wide range of experience in the behavioral health field working with children, adolescents, and adults with varying mental health and co-occurring disorders. I provide culturally sensitive individual, family, group psychotherapy, and crisis counseling.
I use a variety of treatment modalities to include but not limited to CBT, Crisis intervention, Family Systems Approach, Solution-focused, and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience in treating the following: anxiety, depression, ADHD trauma, anger management, phase of life issues, women issues, social skills, grief, stress, and substance abuse.
Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space during their first session. We’ll discuss what brings them to therapy, explore their goals, and review any history that helps guide treatment. By the end of the session, clients will have clearer goals, a better understanding of my therapeutic approach, and a sense of the next steps. My aim is to create a calm, collaborative environment where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered from the very beginning.
