About
Having personally experienced the therapeutic process following a traumatic loss, I have a genuine understanding of the courage and strength it can take to sit across from someone you’ve never met and share your story.
I am Tamica Edmonds, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, relationship issues, trauma, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I utilize an eclectic approach including Motivational Interviewing, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy. I believe that empowering clients through genuineness, openness, and transparency helps create a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect and trust, where clients feel heard, valued, and supported.
My approach is grounded in genuineness and collaboration. I use strengths-based and client-centered methods to help clients feel heard and empowered. I incorporate trauma-informed practices while prioritizing safety, trust, and readiness for change. My goal is to meet each client where they are and help them develop effective coping strategies.
Taking the first step doesn't require having everything figured out—just a willingness to begin. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and reflect. Together, we can uncover your strengths and work toward meaningful change. You deserve to be heard, supported, and given the opportunity to grow. When you're ready, I invite you to schedule a session.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Arlington, VA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Arlington, VA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Some of us have healthy dynamics with our family members; others aren’t so lucky. These individuals might have grown up during a particularly difficult time—for example, their parents struggled to keep a job or decided to separate. Or, they might have experienced something traumatic, disagreed with their family’s religious beliefs or moral code, or simply didn’t get along with their family members. And for those who don’t have a troubled past, these individuals still encounter challenges in their relationships with family.
If you have a shaky foundation with your family, but you’re interested in working it out and improving these relationships, a family therapist can help. Additionally, if you have overall healthy relationships with your family members, but you’ve hit a rough patch, a family therapist can assist you. In summary, family therapy can help you and your loved ones work through the problems at hand to repair any broken or faulty relationships.
Thriveworks Arlington, VA has family therapists and counselors who are ready to help. To schedule your first family therapy session, simply call (703) 775-2939. Our scheduling specialists will assist you in booking your appointment. They will walk you through your many scheduling options including evening and weekend sessions!

The exact course of family therapy will depend on the family’s specific situation, needs, and goals for counseling. For example, family therapy is often short-term, but if there is a deep-rooted issue, it might take more than 10-15 sessions to accomplish the desired progress. From a general standpoint, family therapy can help you improve communication skills, deepen connections, and ease any tension.

Depending on your exact circumstances, family therapy might be one of several treatment methods you decide to pursue. For example, if you are struggling with a mental illness, which is having a harmful impact on family members, you might attend individual therapy in addition to family therapy.
Again, your exact experience in family therapy will depend on the individual needs of your family.
