My name is Liz Weingart and I have been working with adults, children, and families for over 25 years. I began my career as a home-based family therapist working to keep at risk children in their homes. This position allowed me the opportunity to work with children with a wide range of diagnoses, such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depressive Disorders, various Anxiety Disorders, and Aspergers Disorder. While working with adolescents and young adults, I have provided treatment for suicidal ideation, self-mutilating behaviors, and eating disorders.

For some, it is not an easy decision to start counseling, but the therapy process can lead to unimaginable improvement. I do counseling with children, teens, and adults for a wide range of issues. I also enjoy marital therapy and family therapy. It's my goal to help you grow and heal though the challenges caused by mental illness or life's challenging circumstances. Working together we can see change and hope! I know it's important to get help or support when you're looking for it. So if you call and you don't get to talk to someone... we do call back, usually same day or next business day.

We have therapists with experience in Interactive therapeutic play with children as well as with Autism and other childhood disorders.
Acceptance, understanding and real compassion for whatever challenges you are facing. That is what myself and my staff are about first and foremost.

These are common and easy mistakes to make. If you are struggling, and things just aren't getting better, you need help from unbiased professionals that will listen to you and help you find peace again.

My experience in the mental health field began as a nurse, where I provided care for adults and children at inpatient psychiatric facilities.
As human beings, we can often endure experiences that may alter our ability to maintain a desired level of functioning. Because one's difficulties can stem from childhood experiences, as well as other significant life events or traumas, working with the individual to aid in determining the root cause of the issue is imperative. I strive to assist others in identifying, and engaging in a more functional state of mental health & emotional well-being.

Life experiences impact how we see, perceive, and interact with the world around us. When these experiences are traumatic or even just difficult in nature, sometimes it helps to seek out someone who can help you discover the tools needed to mend or create new paths back into healthy relationships. Play is the language of children. In my daily work with children and their families, I find that play often builds bridges where words fall short.

I have experience in assisting children, adolescents, and adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, social skills, and behavioral issues.
Asking for help is one of the hardest things to do. It can make you feel defeated and vulnerable, however, it is the first step to overcome the obstacles in your life. After overcoming this step, the last thing you want to do is to tell a stranger your most inner thoughts. I will provide an environment that encourages trust, open communication, and understanding. I believe it is important to collaborate with my clients as each client is the expert of their own lives. It is my personal goal to empower and develop the skills my client needs to address any issues that are prohibiting them from living the life that they want to live.

As a registered play therapist, I use play to help children explore emotions, deal with unresolved trauma, and learn new coping mechanisms to redirect inappropriate behaviors.
Children often do not have the words or the ability to tell you what is going on with them, how they feel or why they are acting the way they are. I work with children ages 12 and under who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problem behaviors. My goal is allow them to communicate in their own way, through play, to process and resolve trauma, explore emotions and learn ways to redirect inappropriate behaviors.
