Greetings to you! My name is Edria. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois with over 10+ years of therapy. I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including adolescents, teens, young adults, and older adults. My experience spans a variety of concerns, including depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, women's issues, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and grief.
I consider my therapy style to be warm, empathetic, welcoming, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity and as the expert in their life. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at by providing support and relevant interventions based on my client’s needs. My approach is integrated and combines but is not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Client Centered, Psychodynamic, Attachment Theory and Mindfulness.
It can be a big step to reach out for help. Just know you are making all the right choices if it means having a healthier and happier mental wellbeing. The first session is typically used for exploring the presenting concerns, discussing expectations, and setting goals to ensure that we are on the same page. As your therapist it will be my pleasure to help empower, guide and support you on this journey.
