Children, adolescents, and teenagers progress through many life changes and challenges in their family, peer groups, schools, and other environments. As such, Dr. Edwards works tirelessly helping students to develop coping and social skills to achieve emotional and mental health. She manages this by using CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) techniques, which address negative attitudes, unhealthy emotions, and maladaptive behaviors - all which can negatively impact life's happiness.

Dr. Edwards is also very excited to be named the Head Coach of the Girls Flag Football team for the high school.
