Hi, how are you? No really, how are you? If you are tired of saying, "I'm fine, I'm well, and/or I'm okay", when you really aren't then it may be time to seek assistance. My name is Teresa Edmunds and I'm a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in the state of Pennsylvania, and I'm here to help. My therapeutic approach is integrated with short term behavioral approaches like CBT & psychodynamic approaches as needed. I utilize a realistic, straight-forward, & strength-based approach to work with you without making you feel judged.

Have you ever felt stuck? Told yourself, “I don’t know what to do,” or “I don’t know where I’m going? Sometimes our “mental chatter” gets in our way and stops us from moving forward and growing in the ways we want. This is especially true when we’re feeling anxious, depleted, or burnt out. That’s when a professional coach or therapist can help. I have more than 15 years of experience supporting people to return to wholeness. That means finding your purpose, successfully navigating transitions, moving out of burnout, developing life and parenting skills, and to attaining your goals.

The core mission of Oshun Family Center is to provide racially concordant care to members of the Black community that are struggling to cope with life transitions. Especially those impacted by postpartum mood changes, birth, and racial trauma. It is our goal to center the experiences of Black people and create a welcoming space for healing and refuge.

As a parent of a struggling teen/ young adult, you often wonder what can be done to help them feel better. You have tried many things yet there has been little to no lasting improvement. Your child’s personality has changed, they have challenges with relationships, their interests have decreased and you worry that things might get worse. You know that your child has great potential to do great things but the way things are going, their future looks bleak. Seeking help can be scary, because you want to make sure that your child has someone they can talk to but feel like even this step is risky.

Therapy can be a beautiful journey of healing, empowerment, and growth, but starting that journey can be difficult and takes a lot of courage. Therapy can be a space to pause and navigate life’s challenges with the support of another. As a therapist, I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is a key component to creating a safe, accepting environment from which you can heal and grow. I prioritize relief from the pain that has brought you to this moment by providing strategies to better manage your symptoms. I also believe that true healing comes from deeper reflection and understanding of our experiences and culture

Therapy is a collaborative process. In therapy, we listen in a way that is different than friends or family might do. Like working a craft, we attend to the details, to the storytelling and to the storyteller. Patterns emerge, who are you? What do you value? What do you need? We then begin to rework the piece, together. My aim is to remain open to new tools and language with which to engage in this type of collaborative and deeply client centered practice and I want the client to feel that they are the central figure in their own treatment.

My privilege as your therapist is to provide the opportunity and environment that will allow you as the client to feel safe to discuss any issue. I am a fully licensed clinical mental health counselor. As a professional, I always meet my clients where they are to help them transform and find change, learn growth and gain insight.
