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 am a strengths oriented practitioner. I believe in the power of collaborative partnerships. My approach to helping reflects this mindset. I walk with, not ahead. I endorse a holistic approach to overall well being and I pride myself on being culturally competent.
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.

Tanya is very patient and makes good points.
A kind spirit. Attentive, knowledgeable and patient.
Tanya is amazing! A great listener!
I just started with Tanya, but already I feel so supported!!
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.
Tanya is great! She is kind, supportive, funny, and a good listener. She helps me see new perspectives on my old thinking, and it's been really helpful!
Tanya is great and very responsive
100% recommend Tanya she is just the person I needed. Tanya is so helpful and kind. She listens closely to me, responds to me respectfully and makes me feel relaxed and able to say whatever I need to.
So far, fabulous!
A+
Tanya is amazing. The perfect mix of motivational and compassionate. She helped me deal with complex issues in a really digestible compassionate way. She provides resources, journal prompts, affirmations and more as needed and I felt she was the perfect fit for me.
Out of all my years of therapy, she has been the best by far. I pray anyone who starts the journey of healing and therapy can get someone else open, understanding, and compassionate as her
On our first visit I already felt cared for and supported! This is just what I need!
She is excellent!
She’s the best!
I appreciate Tanya's positivity and enthusiasm while still encouraging me to challenge myself.
I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone! She’s so relatable, kind and patient. Really grateful that she was the therapist that responded to my profile!!
Tanya Edwards has helped me become the best every. I credit her for saving my life during one of the lowest points in my life.
I feel so lucky to have Tanya as my therapist. She is so easy to talk to. She makes me feel very comfortable and offers compassion and an understanding that is greatly appreciated. She also offers suggestions and support that have really helped.
Tanya is the best in the game. Her genuine approach and positive attitude have been great influences in the lowest points in my life this past year. I am so grateful for our time together!
A truly wonderful and empathic therapist. Highly recommend.
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.
I value your candidness beyond compare!
I love that Tanya gives me tangible things to do. She listens and provides feedback that makes sense. I really like her
Tanya is wonderful. I appreciated our time together, her warmth, thoughtfulness and guidance in reflecting on the past issues and opportunities ahead. I came into therapy feeling a little lost and, through our sessions, writing prompts, and personal actions, have gained a sense of clarity and momentum. Thank you!
She is a life saver
Tanya is the best ✨♥️
I’ve only been with Tanya for two weeks, and I’ve been to many therapists before, but this is the first time I feel seen, understood, and not judged in about 4 years. I’m excited to go through this journey of healing with Tanya.
Amazing lady
From my first session, I knew Tanya was a great match for me. She's so empathetic, but still challenges and pushes you if you need it. I already feel like I'm working on things I haven't worked on in therapy in a long time. I'm so thankful for her!
Tanya is an amazing therapist. So respectful of my decisions and LISTENS! Tanya is never judgemental and helps me to understand my feelings and has provided me with a multitude of resources to support my healing and development!
Thanks to Tanya Edwards I am a completely different person than I was a year ago. I now have confidence and hope.
Very friendly and understanding person, she made my worries and fears feel validated
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. If you are in crisis often, however, I would suggest another counsellor, as Tanya is only able to respond every so often.
Tanya speaks to me with compassion in validating my feelings, the process, the hard days and driving me in engaging myself in the healing. I went back to Tanya with life goal aspects and each conversation helped me picture where and who I want to be today and for the future. She's great.
I am so thankful for Tanya Edwards. She is providing exactly the support I requested. She really listens and helps me untangle my thoughts.
I deeply appreciate Tanya’s cadence in our counseling sessions. I feel like we’re both surfing the same wave of consciousness with great respect the current beneath us which is the reason why I sought her expertise. She helps me with my awareness of that current. I’m looking forward to many more sessions with her after these first four.
She has helped me in more ways than I could have ever imagined!! Truly grateful to have her a part of my world!
Tanya has been an increible sounding board throughout my divorce. I have loved my sessions with her and she holds a safe space for me to be seen, heard, and to be witnessed as I process through some heavy emotions, grief, and change.
Tanya, Is a great counselor! She is attentive, encouraging, and accommodating! I highly recommend her!
Tanya has been so instrumental in my healing process. She gave practical suggestions on how to manage my anxieties, how to build up my confidence, and how to deal with issues on my career. It's so easy to speak with Tanya as she made me feel comfortable from the onset. On my bad days, I always try to recall her words of wisdom. It helps me focus and calm down. 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!"
Tanya's Edward's is one of the best therapist I've ever had
Tanya is attentive and persistent which is invaluable on this platform.
Tanya stands as one of the counsellors I have ever been matched with. She leaves sessions on a positive note, with thought-exercises, and validates my lived experiences.
Tanya is an excellent and caring listener with a kind heart, an easy laugh and a warm honest manner. I enjoy our sessions, and feel supported when we talk.
Tanya has given me the support, tools and hope that I never thought I would have in my lifetime. She is amazing in helping me get through the tough stuff I have to face and still helping me find humor in dark times. When I can laugh at my past it seems to give me a sense of my burdens being lifted off my shoulders. I would recommend her to everyone that is in need of a helpful hand. She is priceless to me and my healing!!
Tanya has helped me to develop self confidence through self exploration, positive affirmations and learning to recognise and acknowledge things I am proud of. I feel supported and comfortable talking to Tanya & look forward to our sessions. We have built up a really good relationship and I feel comfortable talking to her about even very deep or even controversial subjects. I feel heard and understood with out judgement. Tanya is very knowledgeable and has a brilliant way of helping me to understand the reasons behind my emotions. I highly recommend Tanya and am so grateful for her help.
Tanya is an absolute gem. Her ability to be present with you is both refreshing and revealing in the most amazing way. I gained so much clarity about my next steps with this great lady, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Tanya's very friendly, welcoming, and energetic. She patiently listens, prompts you to think outside the box, and provides actionable plans.
Tanya is great! Easy to talk to and insightful. I always looked forward to our sessions :)
Tanya has a great personality and friendly attitude . She keeps me in the reality of situations while still being supportive and understanding of my decisions. She offers practical solutions and ideas without making me feel as though it's the only way to move forward. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found a counselor that I am comfortable with and I look forward to continuing this journey together.
Tanya is an amazing counsellor, she’s very friendly and outgoing. She’s easy to connect with, and easy to confide in. She’s supportive, and understanding. She gives her best advice. I would highly recommend her.
Tanya has been extremely helpful as a counsellor and has been instrumental in getting me on the right path for my mental help. She listens and sets goals for me - knowing that that is how I operate best. She takes the time to understand what I’m really trying to say and asks the questions to challenge my thinking. She has been great and I appreciate her expertise.
Tanya made me comfortable from the first moment. Her warmth, her smile, her professionalism are incredible. She had the ability to connect with me instantly. I feel safe talking with her
