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  their grades may have fallen drastically, they may be on their phone 24/7, and they may have withdrawn from their family.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.

Failure to Launch Issues in Young Adults 

Lianna is a Clinical Psychologist who has worked with individuals of all ages. At Welsh Therapy, she works with adults (21 and over) who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and navigating identity challenges. She has expertise in working with LGBTQ+ communities and has a strong family systems background. In addition to working individually with young adults, she also enjoys working with couples and parents. 

Often, the self-esteem of young adults navigating mental health challenges slowly declines with one setback after another. They may struggle with motivation and experience difficulties maintaining jobs and healthy relationships. Lianna helps teach practical tools, skills, and techniques to make fundamental changes in their daily lives. As the process unfolds, Lianna and her clients track their accomplishments, small and large. Lianna uses CBT, DBT, EF Skills, Talk Therapy, and many other techniques to resolve the client's struggle. 

Her role with parents is to help them understand their child and their behavioral health needs, their way of going about their daily lives, and their overall functioning. She helps parents become conscious of their responses and helps teach them how to be more effective in their reactions and interactions. Often, parents have strained relationships with their children and difficulties with communication. Lianna brings hope and guidance through realistic skills and techniques that parents can implement immediately to open communication and create a more positive relationship with their children.

Lianna, along with Welsh Therapy, has partnered with PS  Psychiatry for those clients who may choose medication as a component to the treatment of their ADHD, Anxiety, or other mental health issues.

Lianna sees clients in person or virtually in the Doylestown & King of Prussia offices.

Nicole has been working with children, teens, and young adults for 24 years. Her work spans from working in the Philadelphia School District to private practice in Doylestown, PA.  Nicole's work with kids is rooted in being authentic and genuine and allowing them the time and space to feel safe and build trust in order to share what is going on in their inner world.  Nicole's work with children, teens, and young adults is for issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, oppositional defiant disorder, school avoidance, self-harm, mood disorders, and disordered eating

Nicole does involve parents in her work with teens in the form of parent support sessions.  Parents become worried and stressed when their children are suffering.  Nicole can work with parents, if the minor client gives consent, and supports them while remaining HIPPA compliant.  There are times when a child prefers to not have their therapist work with parents for support.  In that case, another member of the practice can see the parents and Nicole can remain with the minor client.  

Her style is engaging and casual. She creates a nurturing holding space.  Parents are thrilled with Nicole's ability to reach their child's inner world.  

School Avoidance is a particular issue that is rampant at this time and is a result of the pandemic and virtual schooling.  I work with adolescents to teach coping skills and learn to manage the uncomfortable feelings they are experiencing at school.  If the student needs accommodations we can work together with the family and the school counselor to ask for reasonable accommodations in the interim.  As a last resort, if all else fails, there are times when the anxiety is so severe that the student may need to learn at home on their own and we can assist the family in helping this transition to go smoothly.  We will work hard to try to integrate the student back into the in-person classroom as soon as possible.  The goal is always to get your teen back into the classroom.

Nicole, along with Welsh Therapy has partnered with PS Psychiatry for those clients who believe medication may be a helpful asset to the treatment of their mental health issues.

Hello, I'm Anita I work with women in various stage of transition in their lives.  I work with women who are thinking about  divorce,  going through a divorce, or on the other side of divorce and trying to build a new identity..  I support women whose husbands have had an affair and who are experiencing betrayal trauma.  I also work with women who have experienced narcissistic abuse in their relationship. 

I empower women to notice patterns and beliefs about themselves that influence their decisions and behavior in their primary relationships.  By looking back at their family history to identify any patterns they are repeating in their romantic relationships.  I support women to make conscious and thoughtful decisions in their choice of partners and to gain entitlement and power in their relationships.  

As nurturers and mothers, women tend to extend this mothering instinct into other areas of their lives, whether with their significant other or their work environment.  Learning to be in relationship without doing all the work in the relationship is possible once we understand ourselves and what makes us do what we do each day.
