Approach to treatment:
Dr. Weaver takes a personalized approach. She realizes that every patient is different. She makes it her priority to give each and every patient the individual attention they need. Dr. Weaver strives to understand your needs and goals, and to develop a treatment program (with the patient's input) to address your needs. Treatment is an evolving process that requires flexibility in approaches as the patient's needs and goals change.
Dr. Weaver realizes it can feel frightening and overwhelming to begin therapy (especially if is your first time). So, the first session is devoted to making you feel comfortable, getting to know each other, and helping her understand your situation. You will then gradually begin talking about the difficulties you are having and the reasons you have sought therapy. Dr. Weaver realizes that it is not always easy to discuss personal thoughts and feelings to someone you don't know well, but you can rest assured that everything is strictly confidential, and she is only here to help you.
