Since I became a memeber with BetterHelp, I had to take a break and eventually had to change therapist and I am glad I did. I am pleased and happy with the therapist that I have now. Ms. Edi listens to my concerns, issues and encourages me every time before the end of our sessions to continue working on my goals.
More about Edi

- LPC, LMHC
I believe in getting results. As an active and lifelong learner, I bring evidence-based techniques to my over 20 years of experience as a clinician to help people identify and achieve the goals that match their values. In pursuit of those techniques, I have obtained a Doctorate in Behavioral Health to complement my dgrees and licensure in Counseling. I hold certifications in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and biofeedback.
My background provides me with the experience to assist with a wide range of concerns including depressed mood; anxiety, relationship, communication, and boundary issues; substance misuse; long-term pain and or chronic health issues; and stress. I currently hold licenses in Texas (LPC),New York (LMHC), and NJ (LPC). I have deep compassion for anyone who is trying to self-manage emotional and physical pain and realize that seeking help is truly a courageous first step.
My style is to work collaboratively with you to set goals and define measurable steps to increase success and achieve a healthier life, whatever that looks like to you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Edi is kind and understanding. She really helped me deal with the situation I was dealing with in my marriage.
A few weeks into working with Edi and it's already been productive for such a new undertaking. She is smart, caring, and practical. I'm grateful to receive her different perspectives while still walking away with advice that is realistic for my unique set of circumstances.
Edi gives me room to express myself and meets me with brilliant expertise, exercises, and active healing I can use every day.
Edi is professional, kind, and genuine. It’s obvious that she has a passion for her career and is very knowledgeable with many different resources. In the time we’ve been working together I’ve learned a lot of useful techniques that have made an improvement in my day to day life. I’m thankful that we matched. She’s really helped me to see things in a new way and I so appreciate our sessions!
