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).

Your Story. Your Purpose. Your Identity. Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been. Life has a way of shaping us. Painful experiences, trauma, loss, relationships, and fear can leave us carrying beliefs and protective patterns that once helped us survive, but now no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your story, heal unresolved wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with the authentic identity that's been there all along.

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.
