*Hello and Welcome ! I'm Jenna McDonald . I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Western New York and also working with clients statewide (NY) via Telehealth. I work with teens, adults, and couples; specializing in anxiety, stress, life transitions ( ex : work/school stressors), relationship concerns, substance use and trauma. I use different types of therapies to help my clients make progress and start feeling more in control and on their way to a more mentally stable wellness.* My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Person Centered Therapy as I find it helps the client to organize his/her goals so that we can work through those together, based on what is most important and meaningful to that client. Solution Focused therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), are other modalities that can help myself and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to create a path forward. I have found that my style and approach is a good fit for clients who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions ( work/life balance, job change/ school/social pressures), relationship issues, anxiety, and depression . I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. I have had success working with shy clients, young adults , or just those new to therapy who are apprehensive to open up at first , given my down to earth personality. My communication style is working with my clients to understand what it is they are experiencing and build that rapport. My hope is to provide supportive problem solving and collaboration, while I can also be that listening ear. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. I will also be that realistic reminder to my clients of what is healthy/what is not, so that we can work towards optimal mental wellness. I will challenge my clients and not be a person to enable negative behavior. My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us, and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we’ll work together to set goals and track your progress. Sometimes we just want someone to listen to us and have the ability to vent our emotions and frustrations. I can be that person who is neutral, which can give me a great outside view and ability to provide assistance when needed. What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about your past experience with coming to counseling, what worked well with past counseling/ what didn’t, what you are coming to counseling for currently and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there.

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.
