Taleatha Welch, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Taleatha!

I believe in a communitarian approach, placing significance on the person and their environment, and meeting each individual where they are in the moment.

My focus

I work with issues such as PTSD, Mild-Moderate Depression, Anxiety, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Grief, and Bereavement.

My approach

I have been trained in a strengths-based, family-centered approach. We will utilize Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to enhance coping strategies for use in everyday life and situations.

My communication style

I strive to build a genuine connection with my clients by fostering an environment of transparency and support. Remember, you are the expert in your journey, and I am here to assist.

My journey to mental healthcare

For as far back as I remember, I have desired to serve people. It has always been my desire to serve and bring out the best in people. I am here to assist those who are willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work. Ultimately, this is your journey, and I am here to assist.

My goals for you

We will work together to identify your goals and develop practical strategies that fit your life. I focus on building on your strengths and helping you navigate challenges with tools you can use every day.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We'll explore your goals and begin to map out how we can work together to support your journey.
