This is Dr. Patricia Jane Weiss, PhD. I am a Neuropsychologist, and I specialize in treating children , teens and adults. I do an assessment of cognitive and psychological tests.

She has many years of experience in conducting such evaluations in the context of neurologic (e.g., TBI, epilepsy, brain tumor, MS, movement disorders, neurodegenerative), neurodevelopmental (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Specific Learning Disability) and psychiatric factors interfering with academic, occupational, and other aspects of everyday functioning.

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate

San Francisco, CA 94123
I understand the piercing pain and trauma that stems from sexual or emotional betrayal. Infidelity can leave you feeling wholly disoriented. Reconstituting yourself in the wake of an affair takes support. Therapy can provide essential relief during a very dark period, for each partner.
I provide support around other major life changes, such as navigating relationships with adult children or, equally, individuating from parents as you enter your 20's and 30's.
I passionately believe that psychotherapy with a trusted therapist offers relief from the natural and very human difficulties that inevitably arise for each one of us.

Feelings and thoughts, at times, may be difficult to manage. Unprocessed trauma, anxiety, depression, painful entanglements, behavioral issues, and the lingering effects of damaging experiences can exhaust us. They may also interfere with relationships and affect behaviors. Developing meaning regarding our trauma's, difficult emotions and life events can be invaluable. My hope is provide understanding and insight for people to discover potentially destructive patterns, heal from trauma and past experiences and find what really matters to them. Managing strong emotions can lead to a more creative, flexible, and full life.
