Dri Edwards

Dr. Dri Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Education and extensive experience working with adults. She specializes in addressing issues such as coping skills and developmental complex trauma. Many individuals may struggle in their relationships, facing challenges with emotional regulation, feelings of shame and guilt, and establishing healthy boundaries. Dr. Edwards recognizes that some clients may feel unsafe in various relationships, settings, or situations, exhibiting hypervigilance for potential threats. Her approach is rooted in a deep understanding of how developmental trauma—often stemming from unmet attachment needs in childhood—can impact an individual's capacity for trust and connection. Through her culturally sensitive and eclectic therapy modalities, including Trauma-Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-based practices, Dr. Edwards educates her clients about understanding themselves and equips them with effective coping strategies. This empowers them to regain balance and responsive choice in their lives, rather than being simply reactive. Dri's mission is to serve as a compassionate, warm, and reliable presence throughout the therapeutic process, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance that encourages healing and personal growth. Whether guiding clients through significant life changes or addressing profound personal challenges, Dr. Edwards is dedicated to being a supportive ally on their journey to well-being.
