My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eclectic modalities for that client.

I love working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds. I have a warm and direct approach, and I work with couples to communicate and hear each other in a safe and productive way. I use IMAGO therapy/Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), which most couples find very positive and quickly gives hope. With my individual clients, we work to understand your needs and desires and ways to help you find your inner strengths to achieve them. I also bring in some coaching tools when helpful. I respect and highly value the client-therapist relationship.

Therapy can help when life becomes overwhelming, when you feel alone in your struggles, or when you’re experiencing major life changes. You may find it difficult to talk about your problems with family members or friends, as they may not understand your feelings. My role as a therapist is to empower those facing various issues in their lives and to help you cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way. Being listened to can help you feel understood and remind you that other people care about you and what you have to say. I provide a supportive, caring, nonjudgmental, safe, and culturally appropriate atmosphere.

Therapy can help you to get to the roots of your issues, develop a better understanding of yourself and provide you with tools to more effectively manage your life. My role, as your therapist, is an objective and non-biased one. I will focus on listening to you, guiding you through a thorough exploration of yourself- past, present and future- and fostering insight. Your own insights will guide you to make decisions and take subsequent actions. Whatever the concern that leads you to therapy, rest assured that I will be deeply invested in supporting you through the process, freeing you to live the life you desire.

Bridging the worlds of psychology and creativity, I provide compassionate and effective psychotherapy for you, utilizing special techniques of mindfulness and imagery developed over 40 years that connect you to your creative, spiritual self. Reducing anxiety and alleviating depression requires accurate identification of issues, seamlessly integrated with an analytic understanding, in order to find inner control of the root emotions that cause moods and behaviors. Understanding you fully, I will help you identify the forces creating conflict and help you resolve them and find peace.  Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? You know something's wrong but don't know what it is...I can help....I have over 40 years of experience passionately helping people understand their emotions and thoughts, with tried and true techniques that have been proven successful! I provide psychotherapy for adults, children, and individuals with special needs, trauma, and autism (ASD), with a specialty working with children experiencing challenges to their mental health, such as adoption, divorce, and grief. My unique approach utilizes both verbal and creative imaging techniques. This combination is particularly effective with both adults and children of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, socialization, focus, and concentration. For children and individuals with ASD and any intellectual disability (ID), I help release pent-up frustrations while teaching the language of emotions, leading to self-control and self-regulation. This opens the door to modeling appropriate interpersonal communication skills, which can then be utilized in the larger environment of everyday life.

The relationship between psychotherapist and client is of utmost importance in my practice- feeling understood, accepted and not judged. With my extensive experience in the field both as a practitioner and a teacher, having a foundation of knowledge of human psychological development and unconscious processes is requisite to being able to listen to and understand what people are expressing, both within their awareness and what may not be accessible to them without professional help. I work with each person based on what their individual needs are.

I believe growth is not always comfortable, and difficulty does not automatically mean something is wrong. In therapy, I help clients become curious about the patterns, fears, beliefs, and old roles that may be keeping them stuck. Sometimes the obstacle is not a sign to turn around—it is the place where the deeper work begins. We may explore the boundary you are afraid to set, the grief you have postponed, the truth you have softened, the relationship pattern that keeps repeating, or the part of you that still confuses familiarity with safety. I used to think of transformation as the butterfly—the beautiful ending, the freedom, the moment when everything finally makes sense. But transformation is often the part before that. It is the cocoon. It is the dark, uncomfortable, sometimes messy work of making sense of our fortunes and misfortunes, our desires and doubts, our losses, fears, and old ways of surviving. Real change may ask us to sit with discomfort before we feel relief. To grieve what we are leaving behind before we know what comes next. To question beliefs we have carried for years and recognize that what once protected us may now be limiting us. My approach is collaborative, reflective, and practical. I help clients understand where their patterns came from, what those patterns once protected them from, and whether they are still serving them now. The goal is not to force change or pretend healing is easy. It is to help you move through the uncomfortable places with greater awareness, self-trust, and intention—so you can become the person you are ready to become and build a life based on what you choose, rather than only on what you learned to survive.

I have specific expertise working with couples as well as individuals navigating difficult relationships. I particularly enjoy working with high-achieving professionals, over-thinkers and cycle-breakers. I am an active therapist, meaning that I will ask questions and point out patterns to help you get to the root of what really brought you into therapy. I am a warm but direct straight shooter who values transparency and I use humor, intuition, and spontaneity in my work. My aim is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you listen to your own inner wisdom.

I believe effective mental health care begins with listening carefully and understanding the whole person, not simply identifying symptoms. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to understand each patient’s experiences, concerns, cultural background, personal values, and treatment goals so we can develop a plan that feels both clinically appropriate and personally meaningful. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), bipolar challenges, psychosis, trauma, mood-related challenges, and substance use. Depending on each patient’s needs, treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and practical coping skills. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable discussing difficult experiences. When spirituality is important to a patient, I welcome incorporating it into treatment. My goal is to help each person better understand what they’re experiencing, strengthen their ability to manage challenges, and make meaningful progress toward greater stability and well-being.

Hi, I'm Dr. Adam Weissman, Founder & Director of The Child & Family Institute and Weissman Children’s Foundation. I'm an avid traveler, adventurer, creator, collector, and the proud dad of two young boys. I specialize in the transdiagnostic assessment and treatment of pediatric anxiety, depression, habit, attention, and behavior disorders, including my new Compassionate Parent Training program, and Feelings Fuzzies book series for young children. Our team specializes in most things within the realm of evidence-based treatment--from OCD, habits, and tics, to phobias, trauma, panic, and selective mutism, to learning, attention, behavior problems, parenting, and family conflict, to health and sports psychology. I'm an authentic guy with a ton of lived experience, who loves to laugh and connect deeply, which I think are assets in the therapy room and create unique opportunities for trust-building, meaningful connection, and transformational change, well beyond your traditional cognitive and behavioral therapies, or eclectic, evidence-based approach. I'm available for private in-home sessions, texts and phone calls between sessions as clinically indicated, as well as other special circumstances given the wishes of the client and careful ethical considerations. I also run a doctoral training program through CFI, training the next generation of culturally informed and connected, compassionate, data-driven future psychologists. And my private concierge practice directly supports pro bono services for underserved children and families through the Weissman Children’s Foundation.

Whether you and your partner are struggling due to a rupture in trust, a major life transition, or uncertainty about alignment in goals for the relationship, I help couples gain deeper clarity so they can make meaningful progress toward long-term, sustainable growth. My clients have done well for themselves in many aspects of their lives, but feel lost about how to address the frustration, disconnect, and overwhelm in their relationship that may have them repeating painful patterns. As a relationally focused therapist, I’ll help you develop better insight into those patterns, explore the underlying functions and needs driving these dynamics, and build new ways of relating that foster connection and shared meaning in your life together. You deserve expert-driven therapy that is relatable, effective, and affirming, and you’ll find it here. I offer a safe, supportive space for people of color and LGBTQ+ couples. I also offer a unique perspective and support for clients navigating long-distance relationships, decision-making around marriage andor parenthood, adoption, and protecting their own families from intergenerational patterns that have persisted in their family of origin. Finding the right therapist is so important to getting the most out of couples therapy. Reach out for a free 20-minute video consultation so we can determine whether I’m the right therapist for you.
