Since I was licensed in 1996 I have worked in the public sector in a number of treatment programs as the clinical director within the 12-step program phiolosphy which developed my focus in addiction and recovery work. I believe the core values of small and manageable, as well as, one day at a time applies to life. My theory approaches are Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused which align well with 12-step work. I find most patients want to make beneficial changes in their lives and move forward, again CBT and Solution Focused theories support this forward movement. In my solo private practice I treat patients experiencing depression, anxiety and anger issues. I have 25 years of experience in this field and would like of offer help to you.

I am licensed in California with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. My experience includes both medical and inpatient psychiatric and outpatient clinics. I have been trained in feminist theory, domestic violence and PTSD. My preference here on this platform is to offer supportive therapy to stable clients who are looking for support in coping with career and general life stresses and life transitions. I like to work with creative types, entrepreneurs and children/ preteens. I do believe that providing play therapy with children is difficult virtually though. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am also a certified hypnotist so I may incorporate hypnosis in sessions to help you relax or have you listen to guided meditations in between sessions. People describe my personality as compassionate, down to earth and funny. I listen and offer feedback as needed and offer you options. Ultimately, you make the final decisions in your life. I prefer to work with you in short term 6-12 week sessions and we will re-evaluate your progress then. If you have any questions, please write them down and we may address them in the first session. Generally, the first session, I will gather more information and establish what goals you wish to work on in therapy. We will also establish the messaging treatment options. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to meeting you soon.

Arease Edison
I believe the most beautiful thing is our ability to be vulnerable... it's what makes us human. I have found that when you slow down and check in with yourself, you may come across the most amazing person...YOU! Many of us are disconnected from ourselves and it's evident across various life domains. Learning to identify your needs and get them met is your responsibility. Exploring various parts of ourselves increases chances that we will have a more meaningful existence. Much of the work I am blessed to do with clients, is providing them with a safe space to land mentally and emotionally. Understanding the complexities we face in black and brown communities makes this interpersonal work meaningful. Therapy is not taboo and asking for help does not equate to weakness, rather strength and courage. As we become healed, whole and well, we contribute positively to our family, friends and our community. I find meaning in helping others identify their needs and use words not behaviors to get them met... we are deserving of this. I want each person I am called to work with to know they deserve to be authentically seen and validated and we don't need anything outside of ourselves to be whole. Once we are healed from past hurts, we can become whole (lacking nothing) and then practice wellness to stay grounded. Be well. XoXo Dr. Edison
