Find a licensed online therapist in Albany, NY

I am a clinical social worker, licensed in Connecticut and New York State. I have been helping individuals, couples and families grow and change over my entire 47 year career. Change can be frightening to contemplate, but in reality change is normal. People grow and change on a daily basis as we learn, adapt and grow wiser and gain more experience. Often, being human, we make mistakes or we find that our lives are not what we expected. This can result in depression and/or anxiety, or a disruption in our relationships with families and loved ones. It may even result in serious mental illness. As an experienced therapist, I help my patients become in charge of that change process, rather than victims of it. I can't solve your problems, but I can assist you to solve them yourself.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. My name is Ammari Amani Edwards, LCSW, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with over 12 years of experience providing mental health services in community, behavioral health, trauma-focused, and private practice settings. I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University’s Silver School of Social Work in 2016. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship concerns, career challenges, burnout, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. My experience includes serving through the FDNY World Trade Center Counseling Services Unit, supporting first responders and individuals impacted by trauma. This work deepened my understanding of the emotional demands of high-stress professions and the importance of compassionate, individualized care. As an Afro-Latina therapist and mom, I bring cultural awareness, lived experience, and appreciation for the demands of caregiving, family life, and balancing multiple responsibilities. I respect the ways identity, family, community, and personal history shape emotional well-being, while recognizing that every person’s experience is unique. My approach is warm, collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported in exploring difficult experiences and making meaningful changes. My Approach I tailor therapy to your needs, values, goals, and current circumstances. Depending on what feels most helpful, I integrate: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Explore unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills. Psychodynamic Therapy: Understand how earlier experiences influence present emotions and relationships. Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based Therapy: Build on your abilities and identify manageable steps toward your goals. Mindfulness and Somatic Awareness: Notice emotions, physical sensations, and stress responses with greater awareness. Narrative Therapy: Explore the stories you hold about yourself and make room for new perspectives. Person-Centered Therapy and Self-Compassion: Support autonomy, self-understanding, and a kinder relationship with yourself. Together, we can explore what brings you to therapy, recognize patterns contributing to distress, strengthen boundaries, and develop strategies for lasting growth.
