Everyone has times when they need help or support. Our strengths and coping strategies may not help us in all situations. Maybe its time to work on a growth point. You may be experiencing chronic stress from many factors, including minority status. Mental health is tied to happiness, physical health, relationship satisfaction-all aspects of our lives. Therapy is an opportunity for change that can lead to a better life than you had before. It takes self-knowledge, trust, and courage to reach out to a counselor. In return you have new hope.

Times of chaos, confusion, and challenge are opportunities for a shift in perspective and meaningful, long-lasting change. We don't often have a choice about challenging circumstances but we do get to choose how we respond and whether or not we grow stronger from the experience! Using a blend of traditional "talk therapy" and alternative therapies (such as mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative expression) we collaborate for my clients' restoration of their natural wellness in mind, body, and spirit. I can help you become your best self!

I have extensive training with most psychological disorders and relationship issues through use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In addition, I have developed a specific interest in treating obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and all other anxiety disorders. During my training and practice, I have gathered experience in both intensive and traditional outpatient settings. If you want a clinician who strives to understand exactly what you are going through, you will be happy to know that I have personal experience with seeking and receiving help through therapy. YOU are my focus.

Is your child struggling? Are you struggling to support them? We all experience worry from time to time. The truth is that worry is a normal part of life. In fact, if we never worried, that would be a problem! But sometimes our worries or our kid's worries start to grow so big they take over our daily lives. Leaving the house, going to school, meeting new people - even ordering favorite food at a restaurant! - can feel nearly impossible. When worry starts to impact daily activities and the overall happiness of your family, it’s time to find help.

I believe that “trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” I work with those who have experienced various forms of trauma, including shock, developmental, medical, relational, and religious trauma. I also work with those experiencing forms of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and those experiencing systemic and cultural forms of oppression. I believe that everyone has the right to a nurturing and supportive space, and strive towards the ongoing creation of an inclusive environment for all.

Sharing your story can be scary and uncomfortable. Choosing a therapist you can connect with to support your journey of self-reflection and healing is important. I strive to build a good relationship with clients and to create a safe space where everyone can feel comfortable sharing their stories. I’m a laid-back person and believe in being my authentic self with clients. I understand that some prefer a quiet, calm space to reflect while others prefer a space with creativity and humor. My approach is collaborative, you are the expert on your life, my role is guide us towards the goals you want to achieve.

We all experience pain--it’s normal. A lot can unsettle us as humans--feelings of anxiety and depression; career and identity development; making meaning of unpleasant thoughts, feelings, sensations, and experiences; and navigating the balance between chaos and control, freedom and responsibility, connectedness and differentiation, action and paralysis. It's no wonder life feels difficult so much of the time! I'm passionate about helping people become more grounded and accepting of themselves as they grapple with these hazards of being human.

You're working hard to overcome the challenges and obstacles in your life, but sometimes it feels like an uphill battle.

Now, even the pursuit of success and happiness is proving to be disappointing. If your relationships, career, and happiness are suffering, it's time to reach out for help. As a counselor with over 8 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals like you overcome the obstacles that are holding you back.

Approaching life's changes is often accompanied by high levels of distress and feelings of being lost. I like working with persons in transition because of the tremendous opportunity for real change and growth that I have seen take place. I can help you tap into your inherent wisdom so you can walk with confidence on your own path. I work with individuals and couples during mid-life transitions, career changes (or a growing need for one), relationship changes, ongoing mood problems, excessive anxiety, and stresses associated with changes in religion/spiritual outlook.

I believe in self-determination (choice) and the natural process of growth. I will, therefore, assist your growth/change process by providing you with education, support and honest feedback. Because I prefer to examine issues from a holistic perspective, I will discuss the integration of your strengths as they relate to the five life domains: emotional, mental, physical, relational and spiritual.

Connie Welsh
Counselor, PCC, BCN
Hi! Welcome. I enjoy learning about my clients and helping them figure out how to be happier and more productive. My focus is treating trauma, anxiety, addictions, depression or ADD. Many people have a combination of these issues. Don't think you are alone, most people have something going on. I know it is sometimes uncomfortable to contact a therapist especially if you have a history of trauma. I have been told I am easy to talk to. I listen to my clients and actively work on approaches to help. I take most insurance panels including Medicaid to help with the cost of therapy.

I believe a fine tuned awareness of oneself is essential to overall well-being. I focus on supporting you in understanding your present problems in new ways and discovering novel, practical options you can take to increase satisfaction and reduce distress. I work to assist you in clarifying your personal needs and noticing what interferes with feeling fulfilled or grounded. Often times, action toward getting our needs met comes with considerable risk. I am here to help facilitate your growth process as you understand and work through patterns that interfere with well-being but often also function as helpful, self-protection.

I had the honor of serving as the director of the counseling center at Columbus College of Art & Design for 10 years before moving into private practice. I especially enjoy working with artists and creatives, queer folks, transgender and non-binary folks, and neurodiverse folks. Some of the treatment areas I've focused on most include PTSD and complex trauma, sexual violence, childhood abuse, dissociation, anxiety and panic, depression, and relationship concerns. I believe in folks’ own natural and innate ability to learn, shift, grow, and heal, and I see myself as a guide or partner in the process. I highly value client feedback.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
