 Adolescdents, Young Adults and Adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, self harm, relationship issues, OCD, and Oppostiional Defiant disorer. 

I work with clients of all ages, adolescents/teens,, young adults and adults who struggle with AHDH, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self harm, trauma, OCD, ODD, and self esteem issues.  I also work with young adults  who are experiencing failure to launch.

In my work with anxious adolescents, their parents may see something that looks more like depression.    At some point with teens and young adults the anxiety may have become so intense that they reached a point of oversaturation which launches them into a sate of depersonalization or realization.  In the depersonalized state they may appear depressed, lack motivation for social activities, sports and academics.  their grades may have fallen drastically, they may be on their phone 24/7, and they may have withdrawn from their family.   While shut down they may  reach for something to calm them down such as marijuana, vaping nicotine,binbg drinking or cutting  to self medicate and keep the anxious symptoms at bay.  They may engage in self harm in the form of cutting, biting nails or cuticles,  skin picking or hair pulling.. 

With talk therapy and CBT & DBT techniques my clients can begin to slowly  "feel" again and not self medicate such as talk therapy.

If medication is a consideration,  Welsh Therapy has partnered with PS Psychiatry, a concierge psychiatric practice.  

In cases where an assessment is needed DR. Katie Bascom can perform an assessment for ADHD, an assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder or a Comprehensive Evaluation to look at all aspects of mental health.

When I work with adolescents and young adults there are times when it may be helpful for their parents to have a parent support therapist.  If the kids are comfortable with their parents working with me, with consent,  I can help their  parents navigate these difficult times and find a way to stay close and positive with their adolescent or young adult.  If  my clients prefer for their parents to work with another therapist in the practice for Parent Support , we can assign the right fit.

I have an engaged and personable approach and create a safe space for clients to open up and begin the process of healing.
