Ammari Edwards

Ammari Edwards, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York with more than 11 years of professional experience. She earned her graduate degree from New York University and has built a practice informed by evidence-based approaches to help people facing complex emotional and life challenges. Her work with World Trade Center first responders through the FDNY contributed to a deeper understanding of trauma, resilience, and the demands of high-stress work environments.

Ammari’s clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, career concerns, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication and family problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and a range of women's and workplace issues. This breadth of focus allows her to support clients whose difficulties span emotional, relational, and occupational domains.

Her practice emphasizes an individualized, collaborative process. She draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor interventions to a person’s values and goals. Ammari works with each person to develop a practical plan that reflects their priorities and capacities.
