About me

I am a licensed mental health counselor, in the State of Washington for over 20 years. I am trained in multiple modalities: cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivation interviewing, client-centered therapy, rational-emotive therapy and hypnotherapy. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, couple's counseling, family therapy. I specialize in working with multicultural individuals and blended families. I am a minority mental health specialist for African Americans. I have experience working with military individuals.

My style of interaction emphasizes the importance of unconditional positive regard. I promote a client's growth, healing and self-actualization. I treat all clients with dignity and respect, recognizing that therapy is a unique experience for each client. I tailor my approach to the client's strengths and their desire for specific behavioral change.

Counseling is a special journey for each person. It takes courage and motivation to seek help, working with someone you have never met before. I encourage the client to openly discuss their concerns/reflection throughout the counseling process, so that his/her journey is a good experience. I recognize that it is an honor to help clients explore change in their live, at their pace.

I look forward to helping you help yourself.

Mr. Edwin is an amazing therapist! He’s calm, confident, and able to convey thoughts and feelings that make sense to me. I’m extremely thankful to have him as my therapist.

He’s very good but I’d rather give my review a little further in so I can do it justice rather than after one session.

A very knowledgeable person and I find our work to be productive and not the coddling type. I respect his knowledge and experience and have no hesitation implementing his ideas in my life.

Edwin is really easy to talk with and has a deep concern for my well being. It shows that he knows how to help me and I feel like I am on my way to recovery. He has a good way of summarizing what I am feeling and shows a high level of reflective listening. I would highly recommend Edwin!
