More about Edward

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients navigate challenging life experiences, including depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and interpersonal dynamics.
I specialize in addressing deep-rooted emotional challenges such as isolation, social anxiety, and struggles with self-worth. My therapeutic work focuses on guiding individuals toward greater self-understanding, healing from past traumas, and developing meaningful strategies for personal growth.
My practice is grounded in creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate self-compassion. I'm committed to empowering individuals to reconnect with their inner strength, rediscover life purpose, and build more fulfilling relationships.
Through evidence-based techniques and a trauma-informed lens, I support clients in transforming difficult emotions like guilt and shame, managing workplace challenges, and developing healthier coping mechanisms. My goal is to walk alongside you as you create positive, sustainable changes in your life.

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.
