You’ve spent a lifetime showing up for everyone else. Now you’re in a season of starting over and it doesn’t feel easy. Maybe it’s a divorce, retirement or the weight of unresolved trauma. Or a quiet but persistent thought: “There has to be more than this.” You’re not broken. You’re at a turning point.

I’m Tanya L. Edwards, LICSW, and I specialize in working with women 50+ who are navigating trauma, major life transitions, and the reality of starting over. With over 30 years of experience, including inpatient psychiatric care and working with veterans facing PTSD and depression—I bring both depth and clarity to this work.

My approach is warm, direct, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR, CBT, CPT practices to help you understand what’s happened, shift the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and move forward with clarity and confidence. This work isn’t about staying in the past—it’s about moving through it. The most courageous thing you can do right now is choose yourself.

Women's Issues

I support women who are navigating trauma and/or unresolved past experiences. I focus on creating emotional safety while helping clients develop insight, resilience and practical tools for healing. You will be heard without judgement, explore patterns and experiences that no longer serve you, rebuild trust in yourself, and move towards greater emotional balance and understanding.

For clients who have experienced some form of trauma, EMDR and CPT are the treatment modalities I use in therapy sessions. Together, we will determine which one best meets your needs. For clients who have depression, CBT is often the treatment used during session to help you see how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors are interconnected. You will learn how to reframe your thoughts and emotions.
