Dr. Welch is a graduate of medical school with five postdoctoral years of formal training in psychiatry, more than the usual, board-certified psychiatrist. He has additional, specialized training in diagnostics and has been asked to testify in a number of high profile court cases in recognition of his training and background. As a medical doctor and psychiatrist who provides sophisticated psychotherapy, Dr. Welch provides the highest level of diagnostic skills and medication expertise to patients who he comes to know quite well. A patient's privacy is considered to be extremely important and is carefully protected.
The focus is on quickly restoring a person's desired level of functioning and health. Individuals' preferences regarding medications, alternatives, etc. are critically important and respected. Psychological and medical education and independence are key treatment goals that all of Dr. Welch's patients have in common.
Dr. Welch recognizes people are often better served by seeing one doctor for therapy, diagnosis, and medication needs--he also works closely with respected counselors and psychologists when indicated. Visitors to the office often aren't patients (attorneys, examinees, etc.) -- unidentified regarding their purpose -- hence, discretion and privacy.
