I am a board-certified psychiatrist licensed in Missouri and Arkansas, offering in-person and online telehealth appointments for children, adolescents and adults. You may function well on the outside while struggling privately with anxiety, depression, mood instability, attention concerns, or a persistent sense that something is not right. You are looking for clarity and steady guidance, not quick reassurance. You want a physician who takes your symptoms seriously, thinks carefully, and listens without rushing. You value privacy, directness, and considered care.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and depth-oriented psychotherapy. I take a thoughtful, patient-centered approach, combining medical expertise with careful attention to your concerns. My practice allows time for thorough, individualized care.
Seeking help takes courage, and you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you are looking for a thorough evaluation and steady, attentive care, I welcome you to contact me. Call or schedule your appointment online at www.welderpsychiatry . com

I combine thoughtful psychiatric care with therapy that looks beyond symptoms alone. We'll talk about what's been weighing on you and make a clear plan for moving forward. Sometimes medication helps, sometimes deeper conversation helps, often both. My goal is to help you feel more steady, clear, and in control of your life again.
