Edward Tan, LMFT
Focus Area: Marriage And Family Therapist
Licensed in: California
I believe that therapy is most effective when clients are actively engaged in their own healing journey. My role is to offer guidance and create a nurturing space that fosters personal growth and self-discovery. I focus on empowering you to lead the way while providing the support you need. I have experience working with many populations, including homelessness, substance use, trauma, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and elderly adults
About Me
I graduated with a Master of Science in Counseling from California State University, Northridge, in 2019. My approach is rooted in Family Systems Theory, where I emphasize the importance of understanding the influence of one’s background and external factors on their mental health. I particularly enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, guiding them in exploring how their culture has shaped their experiences. Finding the right therapist is fundamental to the healing process. If at any point you feel we are not a good fit or you want to move in another direction, I will be by your side helping you find another great fit. I look forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
