Michelle Ascher-Weinberg, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Are you exhausted from holding it all together at work, in your family, or in your partnership only to feel frustrated that the same patterns keep resurfacing? You’re capable, thoughtful, and driven yet something isn’t shifting. You're finding that talking about it and reading about it has not brought the results you hoped for. Evidence-based, more experiential therapy can help you understand what’s underneath those patterns so real change becomes possible. As you gain clarity about the parts of you that work so hard to protect, please, or perform, you’ll feel less internally conflicted and more grounded in your relationships. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down and speak honestly about what you’re carrying. Rather than adding more tools or techniques, we focus on what’s happening inside. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) we’ll gently explore the different parts of you that have been trying to help, even the self-critical ones. You have so many parts inside that are longing to be known. Together, we can uncover the self-compassion and confidence that’s already within you, and ease the internal conflicts that haven't found relief with traditional talk therapy. If you’re ready for meaningful, lasting change, I invite you to reach out.

I offer telehealth sessions in California and Florida. I periodically offer online group therapy opportunities. Please reach out if a group sounds like something you might find helpful.

Psychotherapy offers more than a place to talk. It provides a steady, thoughtful space to understand yourself more deeply. It can help you recognize patterns that keep repeating, make sense of emotional reactions that feel confusing or overwhelming, and strengthen your ability to respond rather than react. Over time, this self-understanding builds clarity, confidence, and more grounded decision-making. Through a supportive and collaborative relationship, therapy helps you develop greater self-trust and emotional resilience. Instead of just managing symptoms, the work focuses on lasting change, so you can feel more connected in your relationships, more aligned in your choices, and more at ease within yourself.

If you've had a disappointing experience in therapy, you're not alone. Maybe traditional talk therapy didn't go as deep as you hoped, you felt your therapist was disengaged, or you were given advice when what you really needed was space to understand yourself. Those experiences can leave you feeling unheard, discouraged, or skeptical. Therapy should feel collaborative, attuned, and genuinely supportive. Rather than telling you what to do, the right therapeutic relationship helps you uncover your own clarity and insight. If past therapy fell short, it doesn't mean therapy isn't right for you. It may just mean you have yet found the right fit.
