Current Work
Dr. Weiner currently offers individual psychotherapy to adults. His therapeutic approach is fundamentally person-centered, emphasizing the importance of a supportive and empathic relationship to create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves, explore their concerns, and experiment with new perspectives. He adopts an integrative and flexible approach, drawing primarily from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, and emotion-focused therapies. A central aim of his practice is to help clients connect with their emotions, values, and motivations, using this self-understanding as a foundation for meaningful and lasting change.
