How to Start Therapy at Weiss Wellness?
Your Path to Healing Begins Here
Book a Free 15-Minute Consultation
Reach out through our website, by phone, or by email. We’ll schedule a quick call to understand what you’re looking for, answer your questions, and help you decide if we’re the right fit.
Complete Your Intake Paperwork
Once you decide to move forward, we’ll send over your intake forms. Please complete them at least 24 hours before your first session so your therapist has time to review everything in advance.
Attend Your 60-Minute Intake Session
Your first full session is 60 minutes and focuses on understanding your history, goals, and what’s bringing you in. For minors, this session typically happens with parents first.
Begin Ongoing 45-Minute Therapy Sessions
From there, ongoing sessions are 45 minutes. We’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your goals, and adjust it as you grow.
Mental Health Concerns We Help With
We work with clients navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges; offering tailored support for each concern.
Our Therapy Approach:
Evidence-Based & Integrative Methods
psychological
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
We utilize scientifically validated therapies like CBT, EMDR, and exposure therapy to effectively treat anxiety, trauma, OCD, and mood disorders.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Our clinical assessments guide personalized treatment plans focused on measurable outcomes and lasting change.
Walk & Talk Therapy
Some conversations flow better outside a traditional office. Walk & Talk therapy combines movement with traditional talk therapy – reducing stress, encouraging openness, and giving sessions a different kind of energy when you need it.
Art Therapy
Not every emotion can be put into words, especially for kids, teens, and trauma survivors. Art therapy uses creative expression as a way to access feelings, process experiences, and communicate what’s hard to say directly.
Somatic Therapy
Stress and trauma don’t just live in your mind, they show up in your body as tension, fatigue, or chronic tightness. Somatic work helps you notice these physical patterns and release them, often in ways traditional talk therapy can’t reach alone.
Who We Help? Therapy for Every Stage of Life
Therapy for Children & Teens
From middle school through high school, adolescence brings its own set of pressures. Academic stress, social dynamics, social media, friendships, identity, and the pressure of applying to colleges. We help young clients build the skills and confidence to navigate it all.
Therapy for Adults
Adulthood brings its own layers – career pressure, relationships, self-worth, burnout, and everything life throws in between. We help you untangle what’s weighing you down and build the tools to move forward with more clarity.
Therapy for Parents & Families
Parenting is rewarding, but it’s also one of the hardest roles to navigate without support. We work with parents and families through communication challenges, emotional struggles, and the everyday realities of raising kids today.
Therapy for
Individuals in the Retirement Phase
Retirement is a transition that doesn’t get talked about enough. We support individuals stepping into this chapter, figuring out purpose, identity, relationships, and what comes next after a lifetime of work.
Therapy for Young Adults & College Students
The years between 18 and 25 come with major shifts, managing independence, college life, identity, relationships, and the transition into the workforce. We support young adults through the emotional and practical challenges of this stage.

Q7: How long will I be in therapy?
There’s no fixed answer. It depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some clients feel ready to wrap up after a few months; others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist will check in regularly to make sure therapy is still helping.
Q8: What will you share with me if my child is in therapy?
We respect your child’s privacy while keeping you appropriately informed. At the start of treatment, we’ll talk through exactly what gets shared. As a general rule, parents are kept in the loop on treatment goals, progress, and any safety concerns, but the day-to-day details of sessions stay private so your child feels safe opening up.
