More about Edward
- 23 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience, dedicated to transforming lives across diverse cultures and healthcare settings. My commitment to service began with an international humanitarian effort where I collaborated with a nursing facility, the American Red Cross, and the National Guard to deliver over 100 hospital beds to an underserved region. Today, I draw on decades of mental health expertise to guide young adults and those 50+ beyond anxiety, depression, and self-doubt.
As a practitioner with a Doctorate in Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health, I specialize in empowering individuals across the lifespan to embrace holistic growth and resilience. I blend evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and my personal Seven Dimensions of Transformational Living (7-DTL) model, with my deep understanding of neuroplasticity. My work is based on a core belief: "microchange leads to substantive change." As the author of The Consumer’s Guide to Caregiver, Hospice, and Quality of Life Solutions—praised as “a masterpiece of help and support”—and with doctoral research on mental health professionals’ experiences with youth at risk for suicide, my approach is informed by both clinical practice and research.
My disciplined approach reflects both professional mastery and personal triumphs, such as completing grueling 100-mile cycling events like the Angeles Crest Century. These experiences underscore my commitment to incremental, disciplined progress—a mindset I inspire in every client to help them live with greater purpose.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
