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.

As a mental health provider, my goal is to walk alongside you to fix not what is broken but to help you find tools to cultivate hope, nurture your strengths, and watch your life bloom again.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 44 years of experience in behavioral mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals living with schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I take pride in helping clients navigate challenges with time management, organization, and self-esteem so they can make meaningful, lasting life changes and achieve better balance in their daily lives.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, and I am board-certified. My approach to care is holistic, recognizing how nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes impact emotional well-being. I incorporate talk therapy, mindfulness, and mind-body techniques to support clients’ mental, physical, and spiritual health.
I see seeking mental health care as a courageous act of self-investment. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore challenges, gain clarity, and grow in confidence. Together, we focus on building tools for healing, developing healthier habits, and creating a more balanced life—one step at a time.

Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.
In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.
Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
Whether you’re in an abusive relationship today, you got out of one in the last few months, or it’s been years since you dealt with the abuse, counseling can help. Everyone is at a different place in their own personal process and Thriveworks Fredericksburg, VA Counseling & Coaching can help you discover options for moving on.
If you’re afraid of seeking counseling, rest assured that you are not alone. Too often, victims decide they’re not ready and that they’ll wait until they are ready.
The truth is that you don’t have to feel ready to take action. If you’re worried about yourself, or are tired of living with the fallout of your specific situation, then it’s time to get counseling.
Your counselor will take the time to get to know you and understand your situation and will find ways to help you move forward. Not everyone has the same situation or has gone through the same things.
You will be treated for exactly what you need help with.
Many people don’t realize just how many issues can result from dealing with domestic violence. They can include posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and even aches and pains. A trained counselor can help you walk through these issues and come out on the other side.
Don’t fall into the trap of feeling like your abuse wasn’t “that bad” or “bad enough” to warrant counseling. Whether you were physically assaulted, sexually abused, or emotionally abused, there is help out there for you. You deserve to get the help that could totally transform your life.
There’s never been a better time to call Thriveworks Fredericksburg, VA Counseling & Coaching – at 540-322-5424 and there won’t be a better time. We are here to listen.
