Kristen Welch is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (MLADC), trained in CBT and EMDR. Within individual therapy, I assist my clients to create clear goals, but I am flexible in providing space for more open exploration when that is desired. Ms. Welch is compassionate, client-centered, and interactive. I ask questions when I have them and acknowledge patterns when I observe them. I consider you the expert about your life and I think of myself as a consultant whose job it is to explore meanings and find answers and will work with you to examine behaviors and beliefs that are more or less useful to your life.

My focus in relationship counsling is on improving communication and problem-solving skills, understanding relationship patterns, increasing empathy and emotional engagement towards one another, which in turn, improves the sense of connection between partners.

Ms. Welch specializes in the treatment of addictive disorders, DWI aftercare and LADC Evaluations. Ms. Welch offers telehelath and office visits.
