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. With six years of experience, I have supported clients facing many challenges, including mental health concerns, behavioral issues, and substance abuse. My passion lies in helping children, teens, and families take a deeper look at behaviors to uncover the root causes, and in supporting young adult and adult women as they peel back the layers of perfectionism, burnout, and societal expectations to reconnect with their true selves.

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

I have spent most of my life helping people be the best versions of themselves, in one capacity or another. As a trauma-responsive counselor, I have several years of professional experience working with adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, addiction, loss, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.). What is most important to my client is most important to me. I strive to help clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to navigate whatever life handles them.

I’ve been working in the mental health field for nearly a decade and bring a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I hold a Master’s Degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Marshall University in Huntington, WV. These academic foundations, combined with years of hands-on experience, have shaped my compassionate, informed, and client-centered approach to therapy.

Most recently I was serving as a Licensed Clinical Therapist where I provided individual and group therapy in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. I am currently working at a small group practice treating adults with stress, anxiety, depression, ptsd, and more. I hold sessions on the weekend and in the morning one a week.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of authentic connection. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore difficult emotions, build insight, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

I believe therapy is a safe place in which we can be heard, supported, and understood. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths and find new ways to approach life's challenges.

I'm a licensed therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the general chaos that can come with being a human, especially during big seasons of change like parenthood, relationship shifts, graduations, or just feeling like you're not quite where you thought you'd be.

I'm warm, honest, and very much a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me is supportive, but also practical and grounded in real life.

Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, uncertain, down, and even overwhelmed in their lives. Trying to manage relationships, family, careers, and life responsibilities can lead to pushing away your own needs or putting them at the bottom of the to-do list. Maybe you feel stuck at work, are grieving past losses, or struggle within relationships. Each person ‘s suffering is unique, and therapy should be guided by their individual needs. Whether you are hoping to solve a specific problem by meeting a few times or seeking to address long-standing injuries or vulnerabilities, I will work compassionately and practically to find ways to create paths to relief and develop a deeper understanding of what is troubling you or getting in the way of your endeavors and desires. I am a clinical psychologist with extensive training and experience in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and parents, for therapy, consultation, and life coaching. My primary interests include couples therapy, anxiety, ADHD, cognitive and memory difficulties, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, women’s/men’s issues, and culturally sensitive counseling.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen and supported. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance-related concerns, using a collaborative and evidence-based approach tailored to each individual. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, build healthier patterns, and create meaningful change at their own pace.
