Frances A. Welk, Ph.D.

Therapy Process

Our relationship will begin with a complimentary 30-minute consultation meeting.

Because the connection between you and I is the foundation of the therapeutic process,I have two goals for our complimentary consultation. First is to gain an understanding of your struggle(s) and if/how I may help you in seeking solutions. The next goal is to provide a situation in which you can evaluate whether you feel comfortable, safe, and connected with me.

The therapeutic process is built on the foundation of a connection between you and me. If for some reason neither of these situations work, then I will give you the name of other professionals I feel might be a better fit.

Subsequent sessions will be spent exploring your struggle(s) using tools like questionnaires, gathering your history, looking for significant events, patterns, and ways in which they affect you life and discovering resources to meet your needs. We will work together to process your issues making positive changes and developing emotional balance. The length of treatment is dependent on what your presenting complaints are, how you process the issues involved, and how the symptoms exhibit themselves in your life.

My approach is resource oriented. I not only use your own internal resources to aid in your healing, but will use outside resources, if needed, to give you the best outcome possible.
