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.
My approach
I provide services based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused approaches with years of experience working with adults, children, and families.
My focus
Typical concerns I address through counseling include anxiety, depression, work/school stressors, and relationship stressors.
My communication style
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.
My journey to mental healthcare
Since high school, I've always known that I wanted to be a therapist due to my passion for helping others. I attended a health care career-focused high school program to help prepare me for my future career.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a collaborative approach, where we will work together to establish goals to get you where you want to be. It's hard to know where you want to be if you don't know what you're aiming for.
My first session with you
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.
