More about Edward
- 40 years' experience
- Male
- Psychologist
I have had the privilege of working with people of multiple cultures, races, and ages. I have been licensed in 5 states. This has given me exposure to many cultures and regions. As a result, I tend to get along with most clients. I work with brief problems in daily living to issues that include complex medical issues/trauma. I connect with moth people. I work with both adults and relationships. I don't expect people to change their "personality". I strive to help people find what works best for them, not what works for me.
My specialty is understanding you and what works best for you. I don't assume that any approach is right for anyone, it has to be personally developed for you People tend to be their own worst enemies. I try to help you fix that. I don't want mini-me's, I want you to be you at your best. Together we can make progress.
I am a person too. I don't pretend to know everything. Like you, I have had my own challenges and appreciate yours. Over 30+ years of practice, I have learned people are different and I am flexible in my approach. I am easy-going, approachable, and caring. Despite my easygoing nature, I have an excellent academic background. Solid science guides my practice.

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.
