Relationship Coaching

Dr. Welter offers individual mental health coaching (primarily to adults 18+) over telehealth.

Mental health coaching services are typically more educational, short-term, problem and solution-focused, and more directive than traditional psychotherapy services, particularly when the focus is on the impact of and recovery from trauma.

The focus of coaching is on the development and implementation of strategies to reach client-identified goals and to improve well-being. Coaching may address specific personal projects, life balance, job performance and satisfaction, or general conditions in the client’s life, business, or profession. Coaching utilizes personal strategic planning, values clarification, brainstorming, motivational counseling, and other counseling techniques.
