Tanya Edwards
Hello There ! My name is Tanya Edwards. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have accumulated over 15 years of clinical experiences with diverse populations. My practice focus areas include issues attached to depression, grief, distorted self-image, career challenges, parental caregiving, friendship transitions, and entering new life stages. My practice is geared towards empowerment for growth, sustainment, and more growth!

First session
The first session is a get to know/feel one another out session. There needs to be a sort of mutual feeling of congruency to move forward. During this time, we pose questions to one another and hopefully, we learn about one another. We identify needed areas of healing and growth. Information gathered in the initial session is used to plan the work!!!
Strengths
Our sessions will consist of evidenced based mechanisms that promote healing, growth, sustainment and ideally more growth. Expect support, nurturing, and empathy in a non judgemental space coupled with a few laughs.
Ideal clients
I enthusiastically embrace work with middle age to elderly individuals managing grief and or other loss in all forms (intimate relationships. platonic friendships). I also do well with women's issues, and issues unique to members of marginalized populations. I love providing individuals with support and tools for rebirth. Therapy goals attached to growth after and or during change and or painful experiences are the terrain I manage quite well.
