About me

My name is Tomekia Edwards. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (Texas and California) with over 14 years of experience. I've worked in inpatient behavioral health, mobile psychiatric assessment, and HIV case management capacities. I've also worked with service members and their families around issues related to military life. Typical concerns I address through counseling include anxiety, depression, work/school stressors, and relationship stressors. I provide services based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused approaches with years of experience working with adults, children, families, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During your first session, you can expect to have your question about the therapy journey answered. You can also expect to answer questions about your mental health history and current symptoms. The initial session is an opportunity to make sure we are a good fit for each other. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strength is my passion for helping others by bringing out their internal strengths.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Helping my clients achieve balance in life and feel supported is my optimal goal. In therapy, we discuss approaches and skills that you may utilize to address presenting issues.
