MEET THE FOUNDER
Edie Drysdale, LCSW
Mending Forge Therapy & Wellness Center was founded on a vision of creating a therapy center where individuals and families feel genuinely seen, supported, and cared for. The heart behind this space has always been creating meaningful relationships, offering personalized care, and recognizing that every person’s journey and needs are unique.​​

Hello and Welcome!
One of the greatest compliments I receive is that people feel genuinely heard and understood in our work together. Clients often describe me as empathetic, calm, and easy to talk to, and they appreciate having a therapist who listens without judgment while also providing practical tools they can use outside of sessions.
Parents frequently share that their children and teens feel comfortable with me quickly and often look forward to coming to therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, so I take the time to build trust, meet each child where they are, and create a space where they feel safe, respected, and understood.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Leo University and my Master of Social Work from Union University in May 2021. Since becoming a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in October 2021 and now practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings, providing evidence-based care to children, adolescents, adults, and families.
