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.

I am happy to talk with you about my current insurance and private-pay options, including whether your insurance may be used for services through one of the platforms I currently work with. Insurance participation and coverage vary based on your specific plan, location, and benefits. We can discuss your options and determine the best next step.
