We are excited to have David joining our office space as a male Catholic therapist ! Follow his page and get to know him !

Highly recommended for those looking for a male counselor !

Visit his page at http://www.stjosephcounseling.com

Hello and welcome to St. Joseph Counseling! My name is David Edwards, and I started St. Joseph Counseling to provide research-driven mental health treatment to members of my community who are interested in seeing a therapist with a Catholic-Christian perspective. My training and experience covers various theories and applications of psychology, and my education at Divine Mercy University has offered me the knowledge to integrate these principles with a Catholic-Christian understanding of the person. I believe that this integration offers a richer experience of mental health treatment for all individuals, regardless of their spiritual or religious beliefs. I feel privileged to share this knowledge with members of my community.

Please take a minute to like the page, share it with your friends (or enemies), take a look at my website, and let me know your thoughts. I am accepting new clients, so if you or someone you know would like to talk with a Catholic therapist, please give me a call or send a message.

Why would I go talk to a stranger about my problems? How would that help? If I admit that I need help, people may see me as weak, incompetent or just crazy. It is admitting that things in my life are not going the way I want them to. I may not know why all of a sudden life just became so hard. Why life seems to have lost its spark, why things I used to do now cost me more effort, such as getting out of bed, going out with friends or enjoying the things I once used to. However, I don’t have to keep living this way. I can go seek out help. You have nothing to lose.

About Ave Maria

“Be who you are meant to be and you will set the world on fire.”
-St Catherine of Sienna

I never imagined myself opening my own private practice. In May of 2019 I began to look for a new job and I received an email from Michelle Goodwill asking if any Catholic therapist would be interested in joining her and another woman to start a Catholic Counseling office in Gilbert. It seemed too good to be true. While I was trying to look for a job, I was trying to stay true to my Catholic values as I had begun the search. I decided to email her back and just let her know that I was interested. Shortly after, I received a response for an opportunity to meet up with Michelle so she could share her mission with me.

Leaving my previous work as a counselor at Catholic Charities was difficult as I was working with refugee and unaccompanied minors and I loved what I did. However, I felt that this was a call from God to action. So after much prayer and encouragement, I took the plunge of quitting my full time job in September of last year to embark on this new adventure.

When I began, I was unsure of what even to call the private practice that in itself seemed like a barrier to get started. I had thought about St. Francis of Assisi counseling as I have a great devotion to him. However, the name seemed way too long and so I decided to continue to bring up to prayer the name of the practice. Mother Mary always brings us closer to her son Jesus, and I thought what best name to have for the practice than Mary herself as the patroness. So the name came: Ave Maria Counseling Services. We have been opened since October of 2019 and even though the practice is Catholic one does not have to be Catholic, to receive mental health services here.
