Introduction

I am John W. Edwards, III, a clinician dedicated to the mental health and well-being of Black men and boys. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, culturally responsive therapy, and the understanding that systemic barriers often shape mental health outcomes. I specialize in working with athletes, justice-involved youth, and men navigating issues related to masculinity, trust, and emotional resilience. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and strength-based interventions to help clients redefine their narratives, build confidence, and develop coping strategies that align with their lived experiences. Whether through individual sessions or group work, I aim to create a space where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported in their journey toward healing and self-determination.
