“I recently had my first therapy session with Ed and was very pleased. He is an excellent listener, creating a comfortable environment where I felt truly heard. Ed provides honest and insightful feedback, telling me what I needed to hear rather than just what I wanted. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to commit to a journey of self growth. ”

Getting to know Edward Sidebottom
Hi there, I'm Edward!
My name is Edward Sidebottom. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who uses a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to help treat symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress.
My approach
I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Person-centered Therapies.
My focus
I work mostly with adults and teens who have difficulty adjusting to life stressors and who struggle with anger, depression, anxiety, and traumatic past experiences.
My communication style
I like to provide a safe environment that allows my clients the ability to let down their defenses and discuss their needs without judgment or shame.
My journey to therapy
I started my path as an undergraduate at Longwood University as a Psychology major. The human brain and behavior have always been of interest to me. I spent ten years working in a hospital in an administrative support role in a busy Intensive Care Unit and saw the impact stress has on healthcare workers. During those ten years, I also began my volunteer career as an EMT and was able to see firsthand the effects of stress on first responders. My passion for helping others who have experienced trauma ultimately led me to obtain my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Liberty University in 2016. It was during my time as a resident in counseling that I began working with individuals who had been diagnosed with severe mental illness.
My goals for you
After the initial session, I work in collaboration with my clients to develop long-term goals and establish short-term objectives and interventions to reach those goals.
My first session with you
During the first session, we will discuss the therapeutic process and responsibilities of the client and therapist, review the general goal of therapy, and identify how I can best be of service to you.
