Have you been a victim of abuse or struggle with substance use issues? I have lived experience that can guide you through these struggles and the knowledge of concrete evidence-based practices that can help you succeed in your positive progression.

Arriving at the place of wholeness oftentimes is a journey. That path has “detours” and “construction” blocks along the way. Some of us barrel through those and some of us turn around. Either direction leaves us in a place where we need healing. We all have the strength to conquer our adversities and I want to partner with you.

My name is Junie Welsh and I am a therapist in TN and CA!

I am a certified advanced alcohol and drug addiction counseling in the state of CA. I treat young adults struggling with trauma, current or past substance abuse, those that have been affected by the substance abuse of a loved one, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. It would be a privilege to work with you!

Congratulations on taking the first step in this journey of discovery. It takes courage to look within oneself and explore the items that we carry from our daily lives. I believe that it is essential for us to stop and take care of ourselves actively and intentionally. I provide individual and group psychotherapy for adults. I also offer consultation services to providers who wish to understand the "why" behind the theory.

Life can be messy and full of challenges. Having the right guide through those challenges can help you not just overcome them but excel to live the life you desire. My therapy style is warm, collaborative, interactive and informed by evidence-based approaches. I offer compassionate care and direction in addition to a safe and honest environment that will foster self-knowledge, growth, and healing. Treatment approaches are tailored for each client to explore problematic behaviors and painful feelings while building skills for lasting change.

My philosophy about therapy is that when you meet a client where they are, that they can achieve every and any goal that they could possibly think of. My experience across various levels of care allows me to help you navigate through unchartered waters and to be with you throughout the journey. In fact, it'll be my honor to do so.

Our lives are stories meant to be told in full. It is in the telling of our unfiltered stories that we can begin to see things as they truly are and then work towards growth, change and healing. I believe in providing you a safe, non-judgmental and comfortable space to explore your inner and outer world. I offer to walk with you at your pace through the challenges and emotions of life, and hope to provide a source of light at your feet to help navigate unfamiliar or unstable terrains.

I have a great passion for the world of therapy and all it has to offer for individuals. Life sometimes brings forth challenges and situations that may make us feel broken and hopeless. I believe that hope is the beginning process of healing. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment for all individuals that may feel stuck in their lives and help them move forward through processing. I enjoy being creative in therapy and making the process of therapy self centered. "Where there is Hope there is Healing and where there is Healing there is Strength".

I love working with motivated clients who are ready to address some hard issues. I am often inspired by people's bravery when they are ready to face issues head on. Therapy is about progress, not perfection and I want to walk side by side with those who are striving for progress.

Making the choice to see a therapist is the first and often the scariest step on the journey to emotional wellness. It is also a rewarding one because eventually it can lead you to your goal of a more balanced and fulfilling life. I would like to help you achieve your goals by offering a safe, supportive and confidential environment where you can develop these tools and techniques to navigate your life’s most difficult times.

How can I help you?

Do you feel stuck? Are you struggling with knowing what to do, but having a hard time getting there? Maybe you don't know where to begin! When working with clients I come from a holistic approach. We are all created with a mind, body and soul; therapy with me will tend to all parts of you. I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS and EFT- all evidenced based practices proven to be effective for treating trauma, depression, anxiety and other issues. Through talking and engaging in more structured interventions during therapy, you can begin to heal and create a value driven, purposeful life filled with joy and contentment.

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. Therapy is only as effective as the relationship between the therapist and client and because of this I believe the best way to determine if a therapist is right for you is to book a session and simply meet in person and to trust your instincts. My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.

Have you promised yourself or others that you will cut back or refrain from drinking alcohol or using drugs? Are you frustrated with repeating the same old cycle? Do you feel like you have let yourself or others down? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? There is hope.

My clients often refer to what I call 'blurry trauma,' early attachment experiences that were less than affirming but so ingrained, the client often doesn't recall outstanding events. They may not even remember much about their childhood at all. That kind of trauma leads to addiction, confusing, disorganized or unfulfilling relationships, and difficulty harnessing the resources needed to navigate change so the client can create their most authentic life and relationships. I use present moment, present location resources such as the client's own strengths, passions, and ability to make creative decisions to facilitate safe change.

I am a pre-licensed cilinician, passionate about helping individuals forge their own path along the journey of recovery. My work focuses on an eclectic style of therapy to help you work through the pain of the past and have hope for your future.

I understand how hard it is to ask for help during one of life's challenges and I honor the courage it takes to begin the counseling process. I partner with clients by meeting each person where they are and by providing a safe, non-judgmental therapuetic space to work through problems, process feelings and find solutions. I provide a sounding board and empowerment to each person by using sense of humor, direct communication and a strong, diverse counseling skill set to help individuals reach their goals.
