Meet Eddie Eagle Spirit

"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship."  ~Louisa May Alcott

After retiring from the United States Army as a Chief Warrant Officer Three, Eddie continues his commitment to service as an MSW graduate student at The Catholic University of America. He is completing his advanced-year field practicum as an MSW student therapist in preparation for graduation and then becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Eddie comes with a wealth of counseling and case management experience from his time in the military as an Army Officer. His experience encompasses medical case management, care coordination, crisis intervention, and support for Veterans and their families. He looks forward to supporting individuals and Veterans facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other challenges related to their past trauma. As an emerging social worker, he is dedicated to honoring each person’s dignity, building on their strengths, and fostering growth. Eddie partners with clients through a strengths-based approach, helping them recognize and draw on their inner resources to build resilience and support meaningful personal growth.

Eddie spent eight formative years in Italy’s Veneto region and can speak both Italian and English. He totally understands the demands and stress that everyday life can have on individuals and families. A crisis can overwhelm a person’s usual coping strategies, causing fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, confusion, or hopelessness that clouds clear thinking and makes effective solutions difficult to identify. Therapy offers a safe, structured space to ease immediate distress, process what happened, and restore a sense of control and safety. Welcome to Central Counseling Services (CCS).
