Hello! My name is Avis Edwards. I’m a Licensed Resident in Counseling. I graduated in 2009 from Adler University with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. I have 14 years of experience in the behavioral health field working with children, adolescents, and adults with varying mental health and co-occurring disorders. I provide culturally sensitive individual, family, group psychotherapy, and crisis counseling. I use a variety of treatment modalities to include but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Crisis intervention, Family Systems Approach, Solution-focused and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience in treating the following: anxiety, depression, ADHD trauma,anger management, phase of life issues, women issues, social skills, grief and loss, stress,substance abuse, and relationship issues.
I’m experienced in a variety of settings that include schools, MAT clinics, hospitals, jails, private practices, and community settings.I provide a warm environment that encourages individuals to openly express their thoughts/feelings, identify patterns and develop positive coping strategies in efforts to meet them where they are and foster desired change. Great News-I am currently accepting new clients starting at age 16. Finding the right therapist is so important, so don’t hold back any longer. Together we can do this!
