Tim Welch
As a licensed professional clinical counselor based in Ohio with over two decades of experience, I’m here to offer support for those wrestling with anxiety, alcohol and drug addiction, depression, trauma, stress, relational, life , self-esteem and ADHD.
My extensive clinical background allows me to offer well-informed guidance, while my personal experiences enrich my ability to empathize and connect with clients on a deeper level.
I firmly believe in tailoring my approach to fit your unique needs because I understand that one approach does not fit all. Let’s work together to explore your concerns and find solutions that resonate with you on a personal level. Your well-being is my priority, and I’m committed to seeing you as a whole person, not just a list of issues.
First session
You don’t need to walk in ready to tell me everything. We’ll start with what brought you here, what’s wearing you down, and what you want to be different. I’ll ask questions, listen closely, and help us make sense of what’s happening without reducing you to a diagnosis. We’ll talk about what you’ve already tried, what has helped, and where you keep getting stuck. Together, we’ll choose a starting point and, when appropriate, something practical you can use between sessions. There’s room to be honest, uncertain, frustrated, or quiet. You don’t have to perform here.
Strengths
As a clinical counselor, I bring a wealth of experience, both professionally and from life's varied journeys. My extensive clinical background allows me to offer well-informed guidance, while my personal experiences enrich my ability to empathize and connect with clients on a deeper level. Energetic and receptive to diverse perspectives, I approach each session with an open mind, fostering an environment where new insights and understandings can flourish.
Ideal clients
You might be the person everyone counts on while privately feeling exhausted, anxious, stuck, or ashamed. Maybe alcohol or drugs have become a way to quiet your mind. Maybe trauma, ADHD, depression, or relationship patterns keep pulling you back into the same struggles. I work with adults who want something to change—even if part of them is unsure about letting go. With 27 years of counseling experience, I bring a direct, practical, nonjudgmental approach. You don’t have to hit rock bottom, have the right words, or have your whole story figured out before we start.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I have found great success in utilizing EMDR for clients who have experienced trauma. Also it’s been useful with reducing urges for addiction and other anxieties.
Eclectic
One approach does not fit all. Like people, problems are different for everybody and it is important to stay open to different techniques to address them.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Great tools to help people address all sorts of issues, situations and moods.
Motivational Interviewing
This technique is great to utilize to help someone focus on solutions to their problems. Action oriented. Good for addressing alcohol and drug use and other addictions. Puts you first in the process and tries to meet you where you’re at.
