About me

I am a mental health counselor licensed in Florida with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist, clinical consultant and executive coach. I am also a trainer and provide training in an evidenced based model for clinicians across the country. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach utilizes Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Motivational Interviewing and Brief Solution Focused models. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. My intent is to respond within 24 hours of initial contact.

I look forward to working with you!

Dr. Welch is a great listener and empathetic. He made me feel supported and understood and offered practical and easily implementable strategies to combat the issues I brought up. He has extensive knowledge and experience which is evident in his approach. I definitely recommend choosing him as your therapist! I am so glad I did.

I have been working with Dr. Welch for 3 weeks now having at least 2 sessions per week with homework. The experience has been truly eye opening and I am so grateful for his guidance to better perspectives and approach to my familial and personal issues. He is easy to talk to; I can always be open and honest. Truly a gentleman. Great at what he does!

Dr. Welch was very helpful in guiding me to discover a vocabulary to describe my condition. He talked about useful studies from research that shed light on the way we think, which helped me to make sense of what I was going through. Thank you, Dr. Welch!
