Welcome and congratulations on taking this step to prioritizing yourself and your mental health! As a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I have witnessed over and over again how empowering it can be to take charge of your mental health. Throughout the years, I have worked with a wide variety of clients and issues, but now focus my work on serving adolescents and adults with trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and women's issues.
Hi, I’m Jody. I have a master’s degree in clinical social work and am a licensed clinical social worker. I’ve been working as a clinician for the past 8 years in a community outpatient mental health agency.
I specialize in substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I have a background in women’s mental health including relationships and parenting.
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).
I am a caring therapist that put my patients first. I am a cognitive therapist and work with patient introducing them to having thoughts that bring on feelings that eventually lead to behavior.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fairfax
Searching for therapists in Fairfax starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for that area. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or solution-focused therapy. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may involve.
Fairfax has many mental health professionals, but local office availability may vary by schedule, neighborhood, and specialty. Virtual therapy can help expand your options across Virginia, especially if nearby appointment times are limited or your calendar makes in-person visits harder to arrange. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointments that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and session format in one place.
Therapy in Fairfax can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated cost before booking, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
