Abbie Welch, LMLP-T
About Me
I am a Kansas native and a Licensed Masters Level Psychologist (LMLP). I have been in the helping professions for the last 5 years, and am currently pursuing licensure as an LCP (Licensed Clinical Psychologist).
Starting therapy can be a somewhat intimidating first step in improving your mental health, which is why I strive to create a welcoming and open environment for my clients. I have been passionate about mental health and the study of psychology since early in my academic career, and I thoroughly enjoy providing support and healing for people of all walks of life.
Every individual has their own unique story and background, which is something that I value and respect with each of my clients. I believe in cultivating a healthy and strong therapeutic relationship built upon empathy and trust; it is an essential part of the healing process.
My Specialties
I am happy to work with adults, young adults, and adolescents. My specific focus is on clients who desire help in working on the following issues, among others:
- Anxiety/Stress
- Coping skills & wellness
- Emotional Regulation
- Depression
- ADHD related concerns
- Life Transitions
- Relationship or Family Conflict
- Self Esteem
- Trauma
- LGBTQ+ concerns
My Treatment Approach
I enjoy working with clients to maximize their own wellness and overall well-being; which I conceptualize as embodying prolonged happiness and satisfaction in different areas of life.
As I have developed and honed my clinical skills as a therapist, I have come to value an integrative and holistic approach to therapy. I believe this provides the best care for my clients, and enables us to maintain a collaborative relationship that is essential for healing and rapport.
My initial therapeutic approach draws upon a variety of techniques and interventions commonly used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps us to understand and improve upon our core beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors.
Accepted Insurance Plans
In the near future, I will be able to accept Ambetter as well as Kansas Medicaid plans:
- United KanCare
- Sunflower
- Ambetter
- AllWell
For self-pay clients and clients who have other health insurance and would like to schedule on a self-pay basis, my self-pay rate is $95 to $150 per session. I also offer a sliding-scale session fee to a limited number of clients who may be in the midst of financial hardship.
