Getting to know LaNita Edwards

Hi there, I'm LaNita! Hello, my name is LaNita Edwards, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I have a diverse background and skillset within the field of mental health. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to support teens and adults impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma/childhood trauma, and day-to-day life stressors. My approach My approach to therapy is to exclusively meet the needs of my clients in hopes of creating and developing their own autonomy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps through collaborative efforts to change thinking patterns, and Solution Focused Therapy helps construct solutions rather than focusing on problems. My focus My former career in law enforcement has led me to specialize in working with and supporting those who protect and serve. I also have a strong passion for working with adolescents, particularly at-risk teens. I have found that my approach helps clients identify and acknowledge the challenges that have affected their mental health. My goal is to help clients navigate through these challenges by utilizing therapeutic tools that allow them to function throughout the day. My communication style My communication style is designed to create a serene and peaceful environment where my clients feel safe to share their thoughts, with the hope of helping them overcome the obstacles that have hindered their ability to navigate through life. My journey to mental healthcare As a police officer, I enforced the law but also offered hope and respect to those I encountered. As a marriage and family therapist, I have had the opportunity to socially impact the mental health community and help clients turn the page and start a new chapter in their lives by giving hope and perspective to those in need.
