More about Edward

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate and nuanced approach to helping clients navigate communication difficulties, social anxiety, isolation, and interpersonal conflicts.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of areas, including men's issues, family dynamics, addiction recovery, and emotional healing. I understand the intricate ways personal experiences shape mental health and offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploration and transformation.
Drawing on extensive clinical experience, I help clients develop meaningful strategies to manage stress, process difficult emotions, and build healthier relationships. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to each individual's unique journey and needs.
I am committed to supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, with a deep understanding of the complex emotional landscapes we all navigate. Whether you're struggling with personal challenges, seeking personal growth, or working through significant life transitions, I'm here to support you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I only had one session but so far so good
Loved meeting with him every week for 2 years, and comforted that I get to be with him again 2 years later.
Ed is the best therapist I have ever worked with. He helped me with my childhood trauma tremendously. He really helped me to get to the bottom of my issue and deal with all the repressed feelings. I highly recommend him to anyone!
A great man.
Edward is a very good therapist. He is very skilled and wise.
