Therapists Beginning With X in California

My ideal client is a person with a growth mindset who wants to work on their internal narrative. I want to be a witness and facilitate transformation. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Attachment-focused- EMDR. Eye Movement, Desensitization, Reprocessing. Attachment-focused- EMDR is an effective relational modality to reprocess old negative memories/trauma and come to embody a positive more functional internal narrative. I work with people on addiction issues like alcohol, drugs, food, and self-destructive behavior that is getting in the way of a more stable existence.

Change is constant. At times, it leaves us feeling like we’ve disconnected. You may feel stuck, or your body & emotions numb.

Many of my clients find that they feel better when they have an ear to listen and affirming space to feel seen and explore. You have the medicine, and i'm happy to be a compassionate witness on your healing journey, please reach out to collaborate with me today!

Hello and welcome! My name is Miya Edwards, and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in California.

I work with adults to address anxiety, self-esteem, identity issues, grief, and depression, using narrative therapy to help each person I work with to develop a preferred story for themselves.

Therapy is tailored to you, however, it is done so from a holistic, person-centered, collaborative, and comprehensive approach.

For the past 10 years, I have worked with children, adults, couples, and families in order to improve their pattern of interaction with others. Relationships are essential to our lives, but at times it can be difficult and painful in relationships.

Seeking help can be overwhelming, but it is most effective when you are ready and willing to work towards the future you want for yourself.

It's important to remember that both conscious choices and subconscious drives shape our personalities. These hidden motivations can significantly impact our behavior and emotions.

In the intricate tapestry of life, your emotions are valid and your journey is significant. Your well-being matters and your story is unique. My ideal client seeks support in navigating life's challenges to understand themselves better and develop coping strategies. Their goal is to cultivate resilience and find balance with the aid of me, their compassionate ally, on their journey toward self-discovery and personal growth.

I take on a very client-centered approach, starting where you are at and what you are needing most. Together, we will create a therapeutic space that provides you with safety, awareness, and growth.
