Reaching out for support can be a big step, and you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I believe therapy works best when we approach it as a collaboration. Your story is unique, and you are the expert in your own life.
I work with adolescents and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by things like trauma, anxiety, stress, ADHD, or difficult life experiences. Together, we create a space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin exploring what healing and growth look like for you.
Clients often describe me as inquisitive, warm, and even a bit humorous, someone who helps them look at challenges from new perspectives while staying focused on solutions.
As a Board-Certified Psychologist, I specialize in providing therapy services to children, adolescents, parents, and families. Using evidence-based treatment (i.e. CBT) as the foundation, I tailor treatment to each individual or family.

- Clinical residency at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana
- Licensed clinical psychologist in the states of Ohio and Louisiana
- Over 12 years of experience working in schools, inpatient treatment settings, and hospitals
- Associate Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
Hello I am Ashaunti Edwards. I have been counseling for 10 years. I have worked with military families as I am a veteran, couples, individuals.
