About Ed Parks (He/Him)

Hello! I’m Edward Parks. For more than 20 years I have worked in public mental health clinics and hospitals, and now, with LifeStance, I work with nearly every issue from social anxiety to schizophrenia. I have learned to adjust my therapy style to my client’s changing needs, rather than applying a regimented school of treatment.

For over a decade, I have paired with those struggling with anxiety, thought and mood disorders; re-orienting them to reality and building their skill sets. I am also dedicated to helping adults recover from childhood trauma and abuse and have developed a treatment system especially for this adult population. I have completed certification in treating personality disorders, and have provided clinical supervision for more than 10 years.

My schedule is M-F, 8-5 most days. I provide in-person and telehealth therapy every day, but only telehealth on Fridays. I see individual adults (18+, unless already finished HS) I look forward to hearing from you. (NOTE: I am Catholic, and can incorporate Catholic / Christian concepts into therapy by request.)

See what our patients are saying about Ed Parks

Mr. Parks is the perfect counselor for these last years of my life. He specializes in PTSD which I have struggled witth (& received thearapy for) for the past 58 years. He is helping me resolve issues that have held me back for decades; I WANT/NEED to resolve these issues as I prepare for death. He is helping me to make the right decisions that the anxiety & brainfog of PTSD have prevented me from making. I have even discovered deep seated issues that I have deeply buried despite decades of therapy. I think God has placed Edward Parks in my life to prepare me for a more peaceful death than I would otherwise know. "Edward" (which is the same name as my ex husband) means "Happy Protector." He is certainly performing that role for me: protecting me from myself and my own worst thought patterns. I thank God for Mr. Parks every day.

Edward is very easy to talk with. He's very personable, very knowledgable, and speaks with wisdom & understanding. He helped me to understand much of what I was experiencing. He was very encouraging in each session and gave me some great advice to help me on my journey.

Dr Mary Porter is and has been my doctor of choice for the last six plus years since my wife and I moved now into this area! I drive over to her office in Savannah GA from Bluffton SC because she is that good and I would strongly recommend her to one and all!
