About Me

Heather Edwards is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the Midtown area of Manhattan near Grand Central Station. Many of her clients are women who've found success in their career or academics & have difficulty balancing the demands of a high-stress profession with personal relationships & responsibilities. Often, there is burnout, anxiety, depression, or resurfacing of traumatic experiences. As her clients engage in therapy, they confront and reprocess trauma memories, reduce their emotional impact & reclaim control over their lives. They develop healthier coping mechanisms, enhance emotional resilience & thrive overall. Heather is a seasoned therapist with 20+ years experience helping adults, families, & children in homes, hospitals, community centers, schools, & private practice. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY, FL, RI, & PA, a Certified EMDR Therapist, a Life Coach, & Board Certified Counselor. I specialize in anxiety, depression, & trauma.
