"As a psychotherapist I strive to assist my clients in the process of becoming more whole in all aspects of their lives. My primary training is as an art therapist and I use an integrative approach to promote healing. I find that enhancing talk therapy with experiential methods gives my clients the freedom to express their deepest selves. Within the therapeutic relationship we can find the existing internal nuances and textures that make us all unique and valuable.
My work includes seeing individuals, adolescents and adults, who have depression/anxiety, past trauma, addiction related issues and middle-aged challenges."

"You keep hoping that one thing will change and everything else will be ok. But that one thing never seems to change, or sometimes it does and there's something else that starts eating at you. If this sounds like you, I can help! I see therapy as a safe place to explore all thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The more you can talk about your life, the more mental space is created. Having more internal mental space gives us the freedom to approach problems with more energy and creativity, leading to the resolve we yearn."

"I believe the therapeutic alliance between the counselor and client can be a powerful foundation for change and growth. Sometimes we need a place to blow off steam, make sense of our choices, and create plans for a better future. Sometimes we get stuck and can't see the way out and need to take time to explore new possibilities."

"Counseling was once seen as something having to do with weakness. Now it used routinely for gaining strength, new skills & understanding one's life and purpose. Living & loving fully and leading a life that matters has everything to do with being able to share where we are vulnerable and finding the right mentors along the way to transform vulnerability into strength. I help mamas, papas and adults who want proven skills to help themselves &/or their child succeed. When families & individual adults experience ongoing stress, loss or trauma, having proven skills & tools is even more important--Help is here."

"Asking for help is one of the biggest challenges in striving to create the life you want, and I commend you for taking that positive step. The therapeutic process can be uncomfortable at times and stir up intense feelings. I commit myself to providing a safe space in which clients can experience those feelings so that rather than continuing to avoid pain, they can learn to explore it and actually use it as a gateway to new insights leading to positive change. I work with women 18 and up struggling to navigate the challenges and uncertainties that make up life."

"Therapy is a collaborative effort. I am present to accompany, listen, and reflect. I work with a broad range of individuals. With over two decades as a school counselor, I particularly enjoy working with children and adolescents and their parents. I work effectively with clients who are going through a divorce, the death of a significant person, chronic family illness, job changes, domestic violence, or abuse. Clients can expect focused attention, quiet acceptance and honest feedback in a private space where they can clear their thoughts and feelings, sort through fears and pain, and redirect their lives."

"My name is Carl Welder. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing an integrative mental health approach to psychology and wellness. Integrative mental health is an evolving, whole-systems approach to wellness of mind, body, and spirit. The goal is to help patients regain mental wellness through the use of individualized metabolic testing, nutritional therapies and dietary interventions, along with traditional medical treatments, including medications and psychotherapy. By treating mind and body simultaneously, my clients experience a greater sense of wellness in shorter periods of time. This approach is very successful in treating ADHD, Anxiety and Depression without the use of traditional, western psychotropic medications."
