About Terry Edwards (She/Her)
Copilot said: Terry Edwards helps adults and older adults gain clarity, stability, and renewed confidence when facing complex mental health challenges. At LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy and psychological testing for patients throughout Tennessee, offering thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, while also supporting individuals experiencing ADHD, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. One of Terry’s strongest professional interests is working with individuals who have recently been discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She understands that the period following hospitalization can bring uncertainty, emotional vulnerability, and the need for ongoing support. By helping patients strengthen coping strategies, develop effective treatment plans, and reestablish daily routines, she assists them in building a path toward lasting recovery. Terry also has experience helping patients navigate disability-related documentation and evaluations when appropriate, recognizing the importance of comprehensive support during challenging life circumstances. Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and faith-based counseling when aligned with a patient’s preferences and values. In addition to therapy services, Terry provides psychological testing and has experience conducting evaluations that help clarify diagnoses, guide treatment recommendations, and support important life and healthcare decisions. She works with a diverse range of individuals, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, military veterans, and people with autism spectrum disorders, while offering care for many additional populations and concerns. Terry believes that healing begins with understanding the whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms. She strives to create a supportive, respectful environment where patients feel empowered to explore challenges, build on strengths, and make meaningful progress. Whether someone is seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulties related to adulthood and later-life transitions, she brings both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to the therapeutic process. Outside of her professional work, Terry enjoys music, exercise, television, and movies. These interests help her maintain balance and provide opportunities for relaxation, creativity, and personal growth. Terry is a Psychologist who earned her education from Austin Peay and Tennessee State University. Through LifeStance Health, she proudly serves patients across Tennessee with therapy and psychological testing services designed to promote emotional wellness and long-term success.
