More about me

Licensing: M.A., L.M.H.C. Years in Practice: 20 State: Washington

I am a licensed mental health counselor, in the State of Washington for over 20 years. I am trained in multiple modalities: cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivation interviewing, client-centered therapy, rational-emotive therapy and hypnotherapy. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, couple's counseling, family therapy. I specialize in working with multicultural individuals and blended families. I am a minority mental health specialist for African Americans. I have experience working with military individuals.

My style of interaction emphasizes the importance of unconditional positive regard. I promote a client's growth, healing and self-actualization. I treat all clients with dignity and respect, recognizing that therapy is a unique experience for each client. I tailor my approach to the client's strengths and their desire for specific behavioral change.

Counseling is a special journey for each person. It takes courage and motivation to seek help, working with someone you have never met before. I encourage the client to openly discuss their concerns/reflection throughout the counseling process, so that his/her journey is a good experience. I recognize that it is an honor to help clients explore change in their live, at their pace.

I look forward to helping you help yourself.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Edwin's wisdom and compassion are such a gift! He offers a great deal of knowledge and expertise along with a patient and gracious posture. His counsel and the helpful tools that he offers have been effective in working through the complexity of my unique experience with anxiety and depression.

Great therapist with a lot of great input as well as an amazing listener :) I appreciate him working with me on things and with his help I have found more success.

Edwin is a wonderful and thoughtful therapist. I recommend him highly without reservation.

While Edwin and I are new to each other and I am new to this whole experience, I just a short amount of time, I feel confident in his instruction and look forward to building a relationship with him.

Hes a great therapist very knowledgeable

Edwin is very special soul. His level of understanding and openness has made divulging even the darkest corners of my life, easy. He offers support and feedback, but only with patient consent. I am so blessed to have found him, it’s changed my life.

Edwin Wea has a calm voice and he gives wonderful help

Edwin was instrumental in listening to me, asking me the important questions, and guiding me in my latest journey & life situation. He always asks if I am open to feedback when I may be fired up in talking about what issues I have at the moment, and has a very kind and gentle voice. I highly recommend having him as your therapist.

Edwin is a great listener, and provides great feedback and suggestions. I can not recommend him enough!

Edwin Wea is a solution - oriented therapist. I’ve found more clarity and balance in just a few months of working with him. His approach is emphatic, and direct.

Edwin is a beautiful soul and so well spoken. He instantly put me at ease- which is a feat in itself! He is so respectful and caring. Therapy is an intimate journey and being able to trust and allow yourself to be guided isn’t easy. I am so lucky to have found Edwin to guide me.

Wonderful man. Very helpful.

Great understanding of the grief process. Helped me through a tough time.

Edwin helped me with so many aspects of my life. He has expertise with children, which helped me with my toddler, and he coached me through relationship issues when my husband wasn’t open to couples therapy. Most importantly for me some days, he was there to listen when it felt like nobody else was there for me. His listening helped me find a more confident voice outside of therapy.

Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic insight. Great energy. Incredibly qualified. 5-star therapist. 5-star experience. Hands down.

Great!

Edwin listens with an open mind, asks if I am open to feedback, and relates what I am going through to experiences/music/history/or any other relevant connections he can to help me hear myself and solve my own challenges. Thank you, Edwin and BetterHelp!

Great

Edwin was a very well spoken man who was able to communicate valuable concepts to me effectively. His, entirely understandble, apprehension of BPD related matters inhibits my interest in continuing with him but though my own life history in therapy I can full heartedly recommend him to anyone who needs highly intelligent, calm, and well spoken support.

This has been very helpful and i have only done one session so far.

Adaptive coping skills appraising them honestly

On my first call with Edwin, I vetted and probed to see what Edwin understood of neuroplasticity, brain retraining, and nervous system regulation. I also asked about meditation and mindfulness, having been a practitioner for many years and having studied the neurological benefits, and asked about people whose work he followed and liked. I was pleasantly surprised that Edwin really knows his stuff!! I can't say that for all therapists. My previous therapist really had no clue... unfortunately but that was okay! That's why you vet people and set the intention to find the perfect match for you! Edwin's presence is a consistent, stable source of support in my life which really improves the quality of my life. I am an entrepreneur and working professional with a double disability - brain injury and a rare congenital neuromuscular disorder. Stress management is absolutely critical in my life, and Edwin helps me with this so well!

caring person who listens to what u have to say

I truly felt heard. His background and mine are similar enough that I know he understands what I am struggling with, and that is priceless.

Mr Wea, is a Very understanding, very patient, very wise and a well diversified person. He has great characteristics that are perfect for his field of work. He’s deeply committed and deeply devoted to not only help find solutions for you but to accompany you on a personal level to show your not alone and you have support. When I first met him I asked him how to pronounce his name and he said “wea(way) as in show me the way” and I think Mr show me the way is exactly who he is. Thank you for your commitment and sacrifice, I promise it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Edwin is a very good therapist who listens and relates to his patients

Edwin seems to always know how to say just the right thing to engage with me without stirring my anxiety

I like the convenience of this tool. The only thing I would change would be the ability to book multiple appointments so that you can keep a routine.

Edwin is an outstanding listener and a wonderful therapist. I would recommend him to any and all of my friends.

Edwin was easy to talk to. He was a great active listener and provided me some things to think about, research and apply to my life. Looking forward to future sessions and his support and insight.

He listens, suggests and encourages which has helped tremendously

Edwin, gives a gentle yet strong feeling of respect and caring. He is insightful when I need him to be and he understands when I just need to vent. His advice only comes when I ask for it and he always makes me feel like I am being herd and what I feel is ok. I would recommend him to most anyone.

Our first session went very well I am looking forward to our next session

Changed appointment time from 1hour to 30minutes without notification.

Edwin is thoughtful, authentic, and empowering. He listens with an open mind, asks if I’m open to ideas, shares inspirational observations/experiences, and encourages me to be. Thank you, Edwin!

I’ve been in therapy for years and Edwin is the first to help me tap into particular issues I’ve been needing to for years. He works with my schedule and I enjoy working with him.

This has helped me so much

Edwin always does his best to understand me and offers me suggestions on what I can do.

Working with Edwin was my first experience with therapy, and I thoroughly recommend him! He was a great listener, asked good questions, and provided plenty of ideas and thoughts for me to work on. Definitely a good person to work with if this is your first time in therapy as well.

Edwin maintains a great balance between listening and speaking. Great suggestions for readings, ways to look at issues, and possible solutions. I appreciate him as a therapist.

Edwin Wea is a very insightful, encouraging and highly trained expert in his field. He always shows that he cares about the wellbeing of his client and is able to provide realistic tools needed for healing and dealing with everyday situations. Since Mr. Wea has been my counselor my perspective about myself has changed for the better. I feel very confident in Mr. Wea as my counselor and that his role in my life will lead to a better future for me and those around me.

Edwin listens and understands. He tailors each session to my immediate needs while keeping in mind my overall goals. He is responsive and is there when I need. I highly recommend Edwin.

Edwin is a sage with clinical training. He's patient, perceptive, and encouraging on every issue I bring to him. He listens attentively and is quick to share anecdotes and observations in terms that resonate deeply. I would highly recommend Edwin for anyone looking for a friend disguised as a therapist.

Edwin has made me feel comfortable and confident from our first session. He truly listens to you and makes you feel like you can achieve your goals. He also is extremely competent and makes you feel confident in his expertise.

I trust him already

Edwin has been so helpful in his expertise for counseling me on my concerns. He has been a blessing to me.

Edwin changed the terms of our first session to something I was not comfortable with shortly before our scheduled meeting. When I mentioned that I did not appreciate this, he suggested I find a different counsellor with an air of someone who did not wish to deal with me.

Edwin and I have just started working together. So I'm fairly new to him and him to myself, but it seems to be going very well he's very personable and easy to talk to! Probably one of the most important first impressions a counselor can make!

Edwin is an amazing counselor. Although I haven't requested a session for a while, He checks in via email weekly. Its really appreciated!

Edwin is thoughtful, experienced and wanting to support my needs.

Have only had 2 sessions with Edwin so far, but I love that he is so kind. Always points me in the right direction and couldn't be happier with my experience so far.

I have been working with Edwin for almost a year and over that time he has demonstrated a consistent ability to hear my words and gently help me to deal with my challenges and fears and build a path towards my dreams.

Edwin is literally the most understanding person I've talked with. He helped me understand life in a pandemic. I Highly recommend Edwin as a counselor.

Great counselor.

Dr. Wea is so great at listening and offering suggestions to help. He is never forceful or judgmental!

From the very first session Edwin made me feel very comfortable and supported to share my struggles and help me navigate my emotions. He's given me specific tools to help me make tangible changes in my life. The feedback he has given me comes with no judgement and a level of empathy and understanding that I haven't experienced before. I would recommend Edwin to anyone who is struggling and needs a positive and supportive presence in their life.

He is a great help

Edwin is patient as he is capable. He is a joy to speak too

When I was full of doubt, Edwin saved me. I recommend Edwin to everyone and anyone. He’s very caring, open minded, nurturing, and effective with his feedback during our sessions. He listens and makes sure I feel validated, and always has a positive outlook, worksheet, and or book to offer. I have always been very reserved, and careful with who I talk to about my emotions, but Edwin made me feel safe and I am so thankful to have found this man. In just a few short months, I made a lot of progress and will continue to do so with Edwin. If you are looking for an angel on earth, Edwin is one of them.

Very easy to talk to, a very understanding person.

Mr. Edwin was very knowledgeable and compassionate. He offered multiple solutions to my problems and encouraged me to implement coping techniques he provided me with to help manage my stress and anxiety. I would recommend Mr. Edwin to anyone looking for a kind hearted person with a great respect for helping others.

Edwin seriously is one of the best therapist I’ve ever been too, and I’m so thankful I was lucky enough to get matched up with him. He’s a great listener, cares, and has great advice. Instead of getting anxiety over sessions, I actually get excited. I know it’s going to be a judge free zone and a very calm atmosphere I’m entering into. He’s great and his practices are awesome. They have helped me improve so so much and I’m about to have my third session soon. I recommended him 1000000%

Edwin is kind and a great listener

I am finding therapy w/Edwin Wea very helpful.

I love Edwin, he is a really compassionate and involved therapist who feels invested in me.

Edwin is very compassionate, empathetic and non-judgemental, he has been a great sourse of support during a difficult time!

Amazing person Edwin, makes me feel listened to. He is always so willing to listen and help me understand how to make needed changes in my life.

My first experience with Edwin was great! He was very kind friendly and helpful.

Edwin is a fantastic listener and very respectful communicator. I end each session feeling more calm and with hope for a bright future - no matter the current issues I’m facing. I recommend him highly!

Edwin is acting and kind. He openly listens and always politely asks “would you like some feedback about that?” I really appreciated him asking. I’m not sure why, but just seemed so genuine. I feel very comfortable with Edwin and highly recommend him.

Amazing gentle and full circle approach.

Edwin and I connected at an extremely difficult time in my life. His kindness and understanding, along with quality expertise and experience helped pinpoint the things I needed to work on and consider most in order to both heal and generally improve. I'm grateful to the effort he always puts in to understand, care, and solicit advice. His kind demeanor and mutual respect makes connecting with him a simple task. Overall, he comes highly recommend.

He understands my analogies, which makes it easy to relate with him.

I appreciate how he checks in between sessions.

Edwin is great! He immediately zeroed in on the issues my husband and I were having and teased out some changes we could make. Our communication has improved significantly and we have new resources! Edwin has a kind, conversational style and it easy to talk with. He followed up with messenger and sent helpful materials. Edwin has been a tremendous help and I'm glad we found him.
