About Me

Jerry Mitchell Edmondson, MA, LPC, NCC

Experience Empathy and Compassion

Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

-Oliver Goldsmith

I have been working in the field of counseling and

psychotherapy since 1996. I have experience working in a variety of settings, which has allowed me the privilege of counseling many different clients from diverse backgrounds. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient facilities and have done individual and group therapy as well and family and couples counseling. I grew up in the St Louis area but have also lived and worked in other areas of the country including the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago and Dallas. I received my bachelors degree in 1987 in both Psychology and Sociology and my graduate degree in 1996 in Clinical Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and a National Certified Counselor.

I view the therapeutic relationship as a vital part of the change process. During the time I spend with my clients, I work diligently to establish a supportive, collaborative atmosphere where we can look honestly at you present life difficulties and create a future that is not dictated by past behavioral patterns. Although my technique tends to be in a cognitive behavioral framework, I utilize a variety of techniques depending on the particular difficulties and needs of my client.

If you are considering therapy as a possible solution to the challenges you are facing, please contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to determine if my services are right for you. Even if I can not meet your needs, I will be happy to direct you to an environment where you can get the help you that you are looking for and the peace of mind that you deserve.
