Meet Dr. Welbel
Dr. Diane Welbel views therapy as a collaborative, safe, and engaging process—one that is dynamic, relational, and deeply rooted in trust. She works closely with clients to explore and understand past struggles and patterns, manage current challenges, and foster growth in identity, hope, and self-esteem.
