Introduction

Hello and welcome—thank you for considering me an NYU-trained therapist with over 11 years of experience supporting clients through life’s toughest moments as a companion on your journey. I honor the courage it takes to seek therapy and hope to support you as you work toward healing and growth. Whether you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating identity and relationships, I provide a compassionate, culturally aware space where you can feel truly seen and heard. As a Millennial Afro-Latina therapist and mom, I bring empathy and a steady presence, partnering with you honestly and openly to uncover patterns, face challenges, and create a path forward. With deep respect, I offer compassionate support for those facing post-traumatic stress, relationship challenges, and adult life transitions. Drawing on Caribbean cultural roots, I create a safe, affirming space tailored to your needs, helping you build resilience, find clarity, and heal. I’m honored to walk alongside you on your journey. I know reaching out for therapy takes courage, and you’re not alone. I support clients recovering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse with empathy and passion. My lived experience shapes how I hold space—especially for those exploring identity, parenthood, and healing. 🤑 I offer sessions Sun–Wed, 9 AM–7 PM, at $80/session. 🏥 In-Network with: Aetna · Optum · Cigna 📍Accepting New Clients in New York 🖥️ Teletherapy available via Headway & Alma Let’s Begin Together Book your free 15-minute consult today at my secure portal: 🌿 ammari-amani-edwards-lcsw-nyc-est2024.clientsecure.metransitions transitions Contact 📞 201-500-8795 📧 ammari.amani.edwards@gmail.com 🏢 1 Dock 72 Wy, Brooklyn, NY 11249 Other websites to check out: Psychology Today https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1297444 Headway https://care.headway.co/providers/ammari-edwards?utm_source=pem&utm_medium=direct_link&utm_campaign=45059 Alma https://secure.helloalma.com/providers/ammari-edwards/
