Great to meet you!

Hello,

My name is Leon K. Edwards. I specialize in various mental health issues, providing support for conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship challenges. My approach often emphasizes helping clients manage and process painful memories, akin to organizing a cluttered closet in the mind.

My approach to therapy

I use a range of mental health counseling modalities, including CBT, which helps clients to retrain their thinking and problem-solving skills. I often assist clients with addressing various concerns, including negative self-talk, negative self-image, grief, and life adjustments.

What you can expect from me

My goal for the first session is to provide my clients with a free and non-judgmental space for them to begin sharing the emotional and mental health challenges that they have been experiencing.
