Therapist

You may already know why you overfunction, people-please, silence yourself, or keep repeating patterns in relationships that leave you drained. Insight matters, but it is not the finish line. I help people turn what they know into boundaries, emotional self-trust, and choices that reflect the life they are ready to lead.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a nationally certified counselor, a former adjunct psychology instructor in higher education, and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health, including 6 years as a therapist, I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, emotional neglect, family dysfunction, identity concerns, and toxic relationship patterns.

My style is intuitive, culturally grounded, curious, and compassion-forward. We’ll explore what is underneath your patterns without making therapy feel stiff or overly clinical. We can leave the work voice outside. I’m not code-switching with you. Cool?

This space is best suited for people who are ready for honest reflection and willing to begin using new tools in real time, in real life. I give homework.

Tiana Welch

Tiana Welch

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


Have you ever felt like you're accomplishing everything but still feel unfulfilled or unsatisfied? Do you give so much of yourself to others that little is left for you at the end of the day? Does your child's behaviors (fighting, defiance, truancy, argumentative) leave you wondering what's really going on beneath the surface. It just might be time to take a deeper look.

I’m Tiana Welch, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, providing telehealth therapy for children, teens, and young adult/adult women. With six years of experience, I have supported clients facing many challenges, including mental health concerns, behavioral issues, and substance abuse. My passion lies in helping children, teens, and families take a deeper look at behaviors to uncover the root causes, and in supporting young adult and adult women as they peel back the layers of perfectionism, burnout, and societal expectations to reconnect with their true selves.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy attending Pilates and spin classes, coloring, painting, reading, and exploring new creative hobbies like learning to sew (this month).

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Alabama

Searching for therapists in Alabama starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Across the state, options vary between larger areas like Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile and more rural communities. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare Alabama therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and listed experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and which concerns they often support.

Location, scheduling, and format also matter when choosing a therapist in Alabama. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility across the state. If you live outside larger metro areas, virtual therapy may give you more options than a local-only search. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can help you compare communication style, session structure, and approach before you decide.

The cost of therapy in Alabama varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your specific location. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
