Erin Welsh

Erin Welsh is a Maryland-licensed clinical professional counselor with 13 years of experience. She works with children, adolescents, adults, caregivers, and people who are looking to grow their families, bringing a broad base of training and practical experience to each case.

Her approach centers on collaboration - identifying a client’s strengths and needs, setting meaningful goals, and outlining the steps needed to achieve them. This process is intended to promote greater self-esteem, new learning, and connection with available supports, while helping clients adopt a more positive perspective.

Erin has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting difficulties, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. She also addresses stress, self-esteem struggles, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping disorders, anger management, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and related matters.

Treatment is individualized and eclectic, shaped to fit each client’s unique circumstances. When supporting children as young as four, Erin emphasizes parent involvement and often works with parents and children both separately and together, sometimes including siblings or other family members so the whole family can support the child’s progress. She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients manage negative self-talk and incorporates multisensory and tactile techniques with younger clients when appropriate.

Erin provides messaging and live messaging services and offers occasional phone sessions. She checks in Monday through Friday and is available to begin work with new clients who are interested in these service options.
