Hi there, I am Edna Kyei-Quayson
I was left depleted and broken, feeling despondent...until I chose God
That was my story once. After a devastating divorce, I found myself at a crossroads and chose to draw closer to God. This decision inspired me to raise awareness about the importance of His presence in relationships, especially for younger generations.
My journey through a painful union and eventual healing offers hope to those facing challenges and encourages those seeking professional counseling.
Despite numerous hardships, including a bitter custody battle, loss of loved ones, and a serious car accident during graduate school, I persevered. Balancing single parenthood and my studies, I earned a master’s in clinical mental health counseling and launched my business.
Each challenge has strengthened my resolve to help others. Now, as a Licensed Professional Counselor and entrepreneur, I am dedicated to guiding others through their struggles, offering support and hope for a brighter future.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
For the past five years, I have utilized CBT to help clients address and reframe intrusive thoughts and manage anxiety. By exploring the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can challenge automatic negative thoughts and reduce stress and anxiety.
Couples Counseling
As a Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) Facilitator, I guide pre-engaged, engaged, and newly married couples through a premarital assessment. This process helps address finances, expectations, personalities, communication, and mindset, setting a strong foundation for marriage.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Over the past four years, I have employed DBT to enhance clients’ lives by improving distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach helps reduce anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-harming behaviors.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples strengthen their emotional bonds by understanding attachment styles, improving communication, identifying negative patterns, and building empathy. Through EFT, couples can create a safe space and enhance their relationship.
