Tanya is WONDERFUL!! Always in your corner and here to help!!

Reviewed November 2024

Tanya and I worked together in a very critical, life-changing time between March and 2023, one of which I am fondly often brought back to as life has continued to change almost daily since. Tanya's expertise and approach was essential as she helped me design my life plan through that time. This project is yet far from complete and I very much working with her to continue building my hopes and plans as I write life's last chapter.

Hi There ! My name is Tanya Edwards. I am a LCSW with over 10 years of clinical experiences. My practice focus areas include issues associated with depression, grief, self image, career challenges, parental caregiving and entering new life stages.

I typically employ Cognitive Behavioral, therapy, Rational Emotive therapy, Narrative therapy ,and Acceptance and Commitment therapy. Other forms of helping are also used as needed. There are multiple ways to arrive at your desired outcomes.

I look forward to working with you!!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

Being my first time doing therapy I had my doubts and ideas about how I could have possibly go and as time went by and I had now multiple sessions with Tanya, I am not fixed, but I am in place where I could start to see and communicate a lot of things a bit more full and clearly. For that, I am super thankful. Loading on my toolbox to better continue to care for myself and those that interact with me. I have really enjoyed getting to know Tanya and enjoy their funny and thoughtful insights about our dialogues.

As of next week, I will have spent an entire year of weekly appointments with Tanya. The depth and breath of her ability to listen well and to gently bring forward things to think about, reflect on and act upon is a gift to me, which leads me to believe is the same with everyone she works with. It has been a wonderful year within a very tough year because of God‘s great grace and Tanya Edwards.

Tanya is lovely to work with. She’s joyful, personable and is great at guiding the conversation to go where you need it to, to express what you need to express and heal what you need to heal.

I appreciate her checking in on me from time to time. Thank you Tanya for being so reliable, encouraging and accommodating. You never made me feel that my thoughts and feelings were invalid or that they didn't matter. You made me believe in myself again when I thought I was so inadequate in my current role. Grateful for your core message that my job shouldn't define me. I will always remember that "I am more than my job!"
