Welcome to Inner G Counseling where your well-being is my focus. I'm Sauda Welch, a licensed mental health therapist, offering individualized therapeutic services to help you on your journey to wellness.

What Is Therapy?

Therapy is a collaborative process between you and a trained therapist aimed at improving your mental health and well-being. It provides a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, gain insight into yourself, and learn coping skills to address challenges. In therapy, you can work through issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, with the goal of achieving greater self-understanding and resilience.

Mind Body & Spirit: My Methodology

I draw form various evidence and cultural based methods of treatment and healing. I take on the role of your guide, inviting you to explore different aspects of your being, beliefs, and behaviors, for you to uncover, love, & accept the most authentic and healthy you. I do this by creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore the depths of your mind, body and soul. I invite my clients to notice their beliefs, express their emotions, and feel their body throughout the healing process.

What to expect from session to session

  • Education

    These sessions I teach you about the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and sensations in their experience and perception. With this knowledge, you become aware in the psychological and physiological processes that contribute to depression, anxiety, and negative trauma and stress response.

  • Practice

    In session, you may learn and practice mind- body techniques such as meditation and breathing to help reduce the frequency and severity of negative symptoms of anxiety and depression.

  • Client Directed

    Some session, you may come with a place you want to explore, or maybe something transpired during that week. We will take time to discuss and process your thoughts and emotions about these events.

  • Spiritual Integration

    Whatever your spiritual path, I will help you take the steps to walk in your true calling. We will incorporate teachings from your tradition, interpret their meaning from your understanding, and take steps to align your mental, physical, and behavioral selves, with your spiritual.

  • Experiment & Recording

    I encourage all my clients to keep a journal! No matter what you choose to record or how you want to keep it, your journal is a survival guide, proof of all you will overcome and your working space to process your experience between sessions.

Signs You Might Benefit from Therapy

  • Persistent Anxiety

    Anxiety can manifest in many ways, including constant worry, racing thoughts, restlessness, and physical symptoms like a racing heart or tension. If you often feel on edge or overwhelmed by anxiety, therapy can help you explore the underlying causes and develop strategies to manage it effectively.

  • Trauma and Its Aftereffects

    Unresolved trauma can linger in your life, manifesting as flashbacks, nightmares, or feelings of numbness and detachment. If you’ve experienced a traumatic event and find it hard to move forward, therapy can offer a path to healing and reclaiming your life.

  • Poor Communication

    Struggling to express yourself or feeling misunderstood by others can lead to frustration and strained relationships. Therapy can help you improve your communication skills, helping you to connect more deeply and authentically with those around you.

    Constantly feeling drained, unmotivated, or disconnected from your work or personal life could be signs of burnout. Therapy can help you explore the factors contributing to your burnout and guide you in finding ways to restore your energy and passion.

  • Difficulty Setting Boundaries

    If you often find yourself saying “yes” when you mean “no,” or feeling resentful when others take advantage of your time and energy, you might be struggling with boundary-setting. Therapy can support you in learning how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, so you can protect your well-being and relationships.

  • Depression or Low Mood

    Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed can be indicators of depression. Therapy provides a supportive environment to explore these feelings, understand their roots, and work towards regaining a sense of balance and joy.

    Unlimited Sessions: Unlike some insurance plans that restrict the number of covered sessions, paying out of pocket means there are no limits on the number of sessions you can have. This gives you the freedom to engage in therapy for as long as you and your therapist deem necessary for your progress and well-being.

This way, you won't risk being denied coverage due to the lack of severity of your symptoms.
