Hi! I’m Dr. Kristin Edwards,
Licensed Psychologist
& founder of Tampa Pediatric Psychology.

I hold a modern view of mental health treatment: one that is non-judgmental, warm, humorous, and most importantly, goal directed. I am a firm believer in the healing powers of knowledge. Empowering parents with the information they need to improve their family’s wellbeing is the root of all our services.

It can be hard to know what’s at the root of your child’s behavior problems.

We offer a range of evaluations to help you find answers, clarify previous diagnoses or obtain second opinions, better understand your symptoms, and most importantly, learn what steps to take to start improving.

Parents often seek our expertise to help answer the following questions:

  • Does my child have autism?

  • Is my child’s attention span normal? What is the normal attention span of a toddler?

  • How can I help my child perform better at school?

  • How do I know if my child has dyslexia?

  • What can I do to get my child to follow directions?

  • How can I get my child to sleep in her own bed?

  • What can I do to help my child besides medication?

Stop struggling with anxious thoughts and find genuine happiness and purpose in life.

We offer individual therapy to teens, college students, and young adults as well as individuals seeking pregnancy/postpartum support. Our therapy sessions are grounded in the science of genuine happiness, discovering new ways of responding to difficult emotions, how to take the power out of ADHD or anxiety, and how to break free from self-criticism or self-doubt.

We work with parents just like you…

  • “Dr. Edwards helped my daughter and I navigate through a difficult time in her life and I’m forever grateful for her time and effort in assisting us both. She’s a wonderful person and a great resource.”

    -Google Review

  • “Before working with Dr. Edwards, I would have said I had done everything I could to help our daughter’s anxiety. It felt like anything we tried only made the problem worse. Since working with Dr. Edwards, we have changed so much about the way we approach her. I feel like she finally sees that we are only trying to help her. Our relationship has significantly improved. Her eyes even look brighter. It took me so long to find time to commit to this, but I can only say I wish I would have started sooner.”

    -Parent Review

  • “Dr. Edwards has really helped my wife and I reshape our child's behavior amazingly. We've come out of each session feeling more confident and focused with new ideas.”

    -Google Review

  • “I am so appreciative of the intimacy of the [parent] group. I wasn’t sure what to except, but have come away from each session with so much to think about and have learned way more about my self as a parent than I ever expected to. The group has truly opened my eyes to the ways I can help my daughter through my own self-improvement and learning how to be there for her in the way she needs me to.”

    -Google Review

  • “Kristin is a highly skilled, while still very down to earth, psychologist. All of our shared clients have made significant progress and I feel confident referring to her for both neuropsychological / psychoeducational testing and for psychotherapy.”
