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.
