Getting to know Carolyn Edwards

"We as human beings never transcend the need for human connection." Welcome, and hello. If current life circumstances have brought on more than you can currently manage on your own, you don't have to try to figure it all out alone. My approach I have worked in the profession of mental health for over 20 years, in different capacities. I am currently licensed with the State of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. Having the readiness, willingness, and ability to confront our issues can be scary and hard. Having a road map and support allows us the confidence to face anything life throws our way. My approach to therapy utilizes Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Attachment-based, Client Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Cognitive Processing (CPT), Compassion Focused, Couples Therapy, Dialectical (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential. My focus I have assisted individuals, couples, and groups throughout my career. I am confident in my ability to assist in the areas of addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, postpartum adjustment, combat trauma, relational issues in marriage/partnership, phase of life concerns, and trauma. My communication style I am currently available to begin this journey with you. Nothing is fixed overnight, yet everything is "figureoutable." I have come to understand in my years within this profession that anyone can manage their circumstances with honesty, without keeping secrets, with knowledge, and without judgment. We all have a journey; we don't have to walk it alone. WE CAN FACE IT! My journey to mental healthcare I have a history of working in hospital settings, with dual diagnosis, women's issues, military families, and veterans. I have worked in early childhood education as a Child Life Specialist and with women's prenatal issues. I have had life circumstances that have led me to seek support myself.
