About
Having personally experienced the therapeutic process following a traumatic loss, I have a genuine understanding of the courage and strength it can take to sit across from someone you’ve never met and share your story.
I am Tamica Edmonds, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, relationship issues, trauma, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I utilize an eclectic approach including Motivational Interviewing, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy. I believe that empowering clients through genuineness, openness, and transparency helps create a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect and trust, where clients feel heard, valued, and supported.
My approach is grounded in genuineness and collaboration. I use strengths-based and client-centered methods to help clients feel heard and empowered. I incorporate trauma-informed practices while prioritizing safety, trust, and readiness for change. My goal is to meet each client where they are and help them develop effective coping strategies.
Taking the first step doesn't require having everything figured out—just a willingness to begin. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and reflect. Together, we can uncover your strengths and work toward meaningful change. You deserve to be heard, supported, and given the opportunity to grow. When you're ready, I invite you to schedule a session.

As a therapist, I will do all that I can to learn who you are and what you're looking for, and then help create truly meaningful change.
I specialize in working with people with ADHD and autism, as well as anyone looking for a space where they can feel genuinely heard. As your therapist, I will not be another voice telling you to push through and make things work when they just won't. I will show up as a kind, calm person who's ready to meet you where you are without judgement. I’ll take the time to get to know you, learn what matters to you, and work with you to create the change you're looking for. If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure about where to even begin, that's okay. We can figure it out together!
In our sessions, you’ll have space to talk openly about whatever is on your mind. I can offer structure, feedback, and practical guidance when that’s helpful, while also giving you room to slow down, sort through your thoughts and emotions, and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
You deserve a life that is authentic and feels like your own. We can talk, get to know each other a little, and see if working together feels like a good fit. I'm available to work virtually with anyone in VA.

I am a Resident in Counseling with 2 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with individuals, couples, and families, supporting them through identity development, life transitions, trauma, and grief.

A go to approach for helping people in couples or marriage counseling is to focus on communication.
Active listening and 'fighting fair' skills are tools that couples can really benefit from learning in couples therapy.
Clients can show meaningful progress through self-reports as well as reporting less conflict during sessions.
Clients can supplement their time in counseling by completing all out-of-session homework and activities.
To prepare for your first couples session, you can start thinking about what you feel is most important to start working on.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
