Working with kids, adults, couples, and supervisor to multiple masters level students.

Outpatient Mental Health provider with an agency in the Butler county (PA). Before the official designation of Licensed Professional Counselor, experience must be earned.  I spent my time developing the counselor skills that would propel my interpersonal, group, couples, marriage, relationship therapy into the current form of treatment I endorse. Without this experience of community mental health, I would not be the mental health professional I am today. I had the most supportive supervisors I could ask for. 

Working with Families:

Certified to conduct a very specialized, evidenced based therapy known as Parent Child Interaction Therapy with the mental health organization I had been a part of. I do not carry the certification forward, however I carry the communication skills, behavioral interventions, and improved family processing skills developed as part of this exciting therapy. 

Working with Kids and Families:

Experience meeting the client where they need assistance the most: Their home or school. Considered to be the next jump in therapeutic assistance. Behavior Specialist and Mobile Therapy provided invaluable experience working with families, understanding systemic stress, economic disparity, and educational interactions. I treasure the experience I developed working with the most wonderful clients, families, co-workers. 

Edward was credentialed as a K-12 Pennsylvania School Counselor. Internship and Practicum completed in public school setting. Experience with academic, interpersonal, testing, IEP, 504 and communication. I quickly made the evaluation that a school counselor position was not suited to my personality and therapeutic style.

Working with Kids and Families:

Considered the Step below hospitalization or a step after hospitalization. RTF is considered the highest form (non-hospitalized) of intervention involved with mental health rehabilitation. I had the pleasure of working with a distinct population of diverse symptoms, personalities, and families.
