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.
Additional areas of focus:LGBT, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, First Responder Issues, Infidelity, Military and Veterans Issues, Multicultural Concerns, Polyamory / Nonmonogamous Relationships

Edwin was instrumental in listening to me, asking me the important questions, and guiding me in my latest journey & life situation. He always asks if I am open to feedback when I may be fired up in talking about what issues I have at the moment, and has a very kind and gentle voice. I highly recommend having him as your therapist.

Edwin Wea is a solution - oriented therapist. I’ve found more clarity and balance in just a few months of working with him. His approach is emphatic, and direct.
Written on May 19, 2023 after therapy with Edwin for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem
Edwin helped me with so many aspects of my life. He has expertise with children, which helped me with my toddler, and he coached me through relationship issues when my husband wasn’t open to couples therapy. Most importantly for me some days, he was there to listen when it felt like nobody else was there for me. His listening helped me find a more confident voice outside of therapy.

Edwin was a very well spoken man who was able to communicate valuable concepts to me effectively. His, entirely understandble, apprehension of BPD related matters inhibits my interest in continuing with him but though my own life history in therapy I can full heartedly recommend him to anyone who needs highly intelligent, calm, and well spoken support.

Adaptive coping skills appraising them honestly
Written on Dec 07, 2022 after therapy with Edwin for 4 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues
On my first call with Edwin, I vetted and probed to see what Edwin understood of neuroplasticity, brain retraining, and nervous system regulation. I also asked about meditation and mindfulness, having been a practitioner for many years and having studied the neurological benefits, and asked about people whose work he followed and liked. I was pleasantly surprised that Edwin really knows his stuff!!
I can't say that for all therapists. My previous therapist really had no clue... unfortunately but that was okay! That's why you vet people and set the intention to find the perfect match for you!
Edwin's presence is a consistent, stable source of support in my life which really improves the quality of my life. I am an entrepreneur and working professional with a double disability - brain injury and a rare congenital neuromuscular disorder. Stress management is absolutely critical in my life, and Edwin helps me with this so well!
