Welcome

My name is Carl Welder, a licensed professional counselor and former school counselor/special education teacher working to provide children and adolescents with meaningful and practical counseling services.  I believe that children have an amazing capacity to heal themselves if they are given a safe space in which to do so.  I provide a safe environment, unique hands on techniques, and an empathetic presence for children to express their feelings.  This therapeutic environment will help your child to begin the healing process and reclaim their full potential.  I look forward to working with you and your child.  Together, we can help your child to adjust to his or her ever changing world.
