Are there times when you wish you had an unbiased or nonjudgmental person to talk to? Someone who understands or can offer suggestions navigating this thing called life? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS2). I am also a certified Master Life Coach in the following areas: Life Purpose, Happiness, Goal Attainment. I also hold certifications in Confidence, Cognitive Behavioral, Life Story, Health and Nutrition, and Mindfulness Life Coaching. I utilize knowledge from multiple approaches to help you accomplish the goals you set out to meet, helping you become your best self.
In the course of my career, I have worked in multiple mental health settings, including residential and partial care with individuals with chronic, severe, and pervasive mental illnesses, life change programs with individuals with problems with addictions, and Private Practice with adolescents, teens, couples and families. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, caring but, most importantly, safe environment to help you feel comfortable enough to share your goals openly. I realize it can be scary starting this journey, but I applaud you for your courage.
I look forward to walking this journey with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sonja Welch. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I really have learned and grown a lot with my counselor. I enjoy meeting with her each week. I have referred her and Faithful Counseling to friends and family.
