About Timothy
Hello! It can be a scary process to start therapy and I will do my best to respect who you are and what goals you are seeking. I believe therapy should be a two-way street where you and I work together to decide what is best for you. Your current emotional struggle does not have to define your future. Working together, my hope is to help empower, encourage and educate you in finding resolution to this struggle.
I’ve been a clinical counselor for 20 years and currently work in a private practice. I wrote the books 2Bits and Grit & Gold, which can be found in online bookstores. I specialize in alcohol and drug issues along with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, bipolar, work issues, spirituality struggles, family & relationship issues, marriage and divorce struggles, ADHD management for adults and adolescents, teen issues, life transitions, self-esteem, anger and stress management. I have extensive experience helping those struggling with alcohol or drugs recover, along with helping individuals heal from trauma and loss.
I have my own Telehealth practice and can accept insurance for sessions if you live in Ohio or Florida. Please let me know if you would like to utilize your insurance.
Outside of my clinical counseling practice, I also offer life coaching and sober coaching with tools, accountability, and support through my coaching platform and app. You can explore coaching services at actuallyiCAN.org and download my free support app at actuallyiCAN.app for motivation, pre-support, worksheets, and encouragement.
My aim is to learn from each person’s story and keep an open mind so I can see what is needed to help. I will not presume to know or judge you because of what you’ve been through.
I am nationally certified as a Master Addiction Counselor and National Certified Counselor through the National Board of Certified Counselors, and a Licensed Professional Independent Counselor in Ohio. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from John Carroll University in Ohio and my Master’s Degree in Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University in Ohio.
My experience includes: private practice, community mental health, crisis intervention and hospitalizations, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, EAP, DOT, domestic violence groups, anger management groups, alcohol/drug recovery groups, group homes for troubled youth, case management, a shelter for runaway street youth in New York, Harlem and California, hospice for AIDS patients, and a terminally ill children’s floor.
My goal is to utilize my education and experience to empower and help you navigate anything you feel is holding you back in life. I believe people have the ability to get through adversity, can change, and that one approach does not fit all.
I look forward to working with you!

What clients say
- “no specific comments at this time.”
- “Timothy Welch really individualizes his approach to communication, which I’ve found beneficial in increasing my trust in him. He is able to pinpoint the root cause of issues and provides expert ways to cope with or relieve insecurities. He provides validation, but also assists with irrational thoughts caused by past trauma. I highly recommend him.”
- “Timothy is awesome. It's really important for me to have an un-censored approach to therapy. Sometimes you get screwed up, and there's no sense in beating around the bush for the sake of professionalism. There's no pomp-and-circumstance with Timothy. He's very real and honest. Conversation feels organic, and it works to bring out your issues naturally like that. In the best way, Timothy doesn't feel at all "shrinky".”

- “It is very early in the therapy relationship, so I would probably be better equipped to do this when we’ve had more than 1 session. However, I have really appreciated his calm and thoughtful way of questioning. It doesn’t feel rushed, and so far he has been a help in guiding me through manageable pieces of work and thought. <br /> I also appreciate that he integrates big picture and acknowledges the smaller, living-this-moment aspect too. I have made a little progress and am looking forward to working with him further.”
