Hi, I’m Marlane.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I provide a safe, supportive space for individuals and families navigating stress, trauma, emotional challenges, and substance use concerns.
With over five years of experience supporting clients in crisis, I use a collaborative approach tailored to your unique needs. Through evidence-based approaches such as CBT and trauma-focused CBT, we will work together to build coping skills, improve emotional wellness, strengthen communication, and create meaningful change.
My goal is to help you feel empowered, resilient, and confident as you move forward.
Have you ever felt like you're accomplishing everything but still feel unfulfilled or unsatisfied? Do you give so much of yourself to others that little is left for you at the end of the day? Does your child's behaviors (fighting, defiance, truancy, argumentative) leave you wondering what's really going on beneath the surface. It just might be time to take a deeper look.
I’m Tiana Welch, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, providing telehealth therapy for children, teens, and young adult/adult women.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy attending Pilates and spin classes, coloring, painting, reading, and exploring new creative hobbies like learning to sew (this month).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Norfolk, VA
Searching for therapists in Norfolk starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Norfolk has a range of therapy options, from local offices near neighborhoods like Ghent, Freemason, and Larchmont to virtual appointments across Virginia. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy may make it easier to find appointment times that fit. If you prefer meeting in person, location, commute time, and office availability may matter more. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
