As someone who’s been through my own healing journey, I have a profound appreciation for the therapeutic process and the changes people are capable of making in their lives. I know the healing power of having a trusted guide and supportive person. I understand the transformation that takes place from being truly heard and seen by a compassionate other. As a therapist, I endeavor to provide these things to my clients. I offer a safe space where you can express your worst fears and deepest hopes, without fear of judgment or criticism. Together, we will work to find relief from your suffering and develop the capacity for genuine joy.

You are looking for a therapist to understand the multidimensional aspect of who you are - on a spiritual, physical and emotional level. You’ve been listening to some great podcasts about becoming a better version of yourself, learning to be your own healer, or diving deep into “the work”. Maybe you’re toying with the idea of starting or restarting therapy because you like the idea of living a life of freedom, empowerment, and connection. I’d be honored to be your guide. I can help you deeply examine your life, better understand how you work and what you need, and develop the tools necessary to thrive.

Clients often seek therapeutic support when coping with a life transition that is effecting them and/or their families. I work with individuals and families as they navigate challenging times and my goal is to provide an environment in which growth occurs.

Grieving the loss of a loved one can feel lonely, isolating, catastrophic and disorienting. You may feel as if no one truly understands what it is like to grieve someone you loved so much. Grief can feel even more overwhelming when it is accompanied by trauma. You deserve to feel understood, supported and cared for while you grieve.

I work mainly with women 40 and over, who are experiencing life transitions such as career conflicts, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and spiritual concerns. I also work with males, and females under 40. I am Psychodynamically and Psychoanalytically trained, as well as, experienced and trained in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also use a Holistic approach in my work with my clients, which means I include the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions to bring about a deeper and holistic approach to treatment. I have training in many aspects of Spiritual Psychology, and I am trained as an Evidenced Based Practice therapist. I like to work with individuals who are interested in self-reflection and increasing their self-awareness in order to bring about change, balance, and joy in their life's. I use an empathic, supportive, and non-judgemental approach in my work with clients, which creates an environment for growth and symptom relieve. I create a treatment plan unique to the needs and circumstances of each person I see in treatment.

Need someone to talk to? I can help over the phone or in a teleconference. I am a licensed psychologist with specialized training in evidence-based psychotherapies established by research to be the most powerful, effective, and efficient methods for helping you through your difficulties. I strive to deliver these therapies with compassion, empathy, and understanding. I have a lot of experience treating adults and seniors who struggle with a variety of problems, including depression, other mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, behavioral issues, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, lack of direction and focus, and self esteem problems.

I specialize in a collaborative therapeutic approach, tailoring treatment methods to the individual interests and needs of each client. I integrate CBT, Mindfulness, person-centered, existential, solution-focused, and somatic movement modalities to address a wide range of client needs, from depression, spiritual awakenings, and parenting concerns to holistic living. I honor your vulnerability and openness in this process and hold the space for possibility, purpose, peace and joy in your life.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or just feel alone carrying the weight of your trauma, I am here to help you begin your journey towards healing. I provide treatment for children and their families that experience depression, anxiety, disruptive behaviors, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, autism spectrum, parenting skills, and other mental health issues. I approach each of my clients with a kind, compassionate, and caring approach to form a genuine therapeutic bond where you will feel comfortable, be understood, and have hope knowing you do not have to carry the burden alone.

My approach to therapy is one of active, yet gentle collaboration between therapist and client. My practice as a psychotherapist is to help cut through outdated narratives that often prevent us from creating the changes to live a satisfying and enriching life. I draw from my experiences working with individuals, couples, families and kids at a community mental health center, as well as at an elementary school. Additionally, I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and am a Prepare/Enright Premarital and Marriage Assessment Facilitator.

I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with the effects of childhood trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, and substance use issues. You deserve support along your healing journey and my job is to help bring awareness to unhelpful patterns in your life that may be negatively impacting the way you view yourself, relationships, and other areas of your life. I take a trauma-informed and somatic-based approach to help my clients get to the root of their issues for long-term healing.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious dealing with a challenging situation in your life? Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed in making the right decisions?

I am here to help you to explore new ways of thinking and moving toward new possibilities. Let's work together in a safe and warm therapeutic environment to make step-by-step changes for a better tomorrow!

Finding your true purpose and "meaning to life" is a focus of my therapeutic techniques. It may be necessary to assist you with your eating disorders, addictive disorders, sexual dysfunction and trauma before you can find your purpose. Often times a family or couple may need to be treated together. We can discuss this when you call. There is hope, joy and meaning for you. Please feel free to call me for a free telephone consultation. Dr. Weil

I have dual doctorates in both communications disorders from the University of Southern California and Clinical and Child Psychology from Columbia University. In addition to being a licensed Psychologist, I also am a licensed Speech and Language Pathologist. My undergraduate training was in New Jersey at both Rutgers and Princeton Universities. I have had 40 years of experience and have lectured extensively at medical schools and universities throughout the country.

Born and raised in Southern California, I've been gripped with questions of how to live a meaningful life since I was a child writing oddly existential poems on the nature of time (and how grapes can turn into raisins.) My search for answers led me to study literature, film, and theater, and to work for a decade in the arts while also volunteering in suicide crisis prevention and psychedelic harm reduction. Seeking to be of greater service to others, I earned a master's degree in clinical psychology with clinical experience focused on adolescents in residential treatment and trauma-informed psychedelic-assisted therapy for adults.

Life can be a tough place, but we've learned over the years that with the right perspective and right kind of help/support, we can overcome much more than we ever imagined possible, and thrive instead of just survive in life. Whether you are feeling stressed, anxious and/or experiencing lack of clarity in life; and you wish things would/could be different, but you do not how or what needs to change...that is why we are here. Together, we aim to help you become the best version of yourself.

As a Licensed therapist I have found my work with all ages to be extremely rewarding. In psychotherapy some main goals are to learn skills to better navigate through life, cope with challenging life stressors and communicate feelings, thoughts and needs effectively. ( In my work with children, adolescents and teens I work collaboratively with your child and you (caregiver.) In my work with adults we will work as a team to meet your goals.

Are you tired of spending time obsessing, counting calories, weighing yourself, compulsively exercising, or comparing yourself to others? Do you find yourself allowing your body or the food you consume to define your self-worth? In a toxic media culture, it can be extremely difficult to overcome obsessive thoughts about food and body on your own. That's why I'm here, to help you replace the unwanted, judgmental internal voice with self-compassion and empowerment. I believe you have the ability to fully recover in order to live a freer life and am here to support you through the process.

Reaching out to a therapist can be a difficult step to take. I know the profound pain that can come with dealing with mental health challenges, including addiction...yours, or as a family member affected by another person's addictive behaviors. I understand how traumatic growing up with an alcoholic/addicted or a dysfunctional parent can be, or being involved in an unhealthy relationship. These experiences can lead to devastating feelings - shame, abandonment, depression, anxiety, isolation, anger, and much more. I invite you to share your feelings in a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood & heard.
