About

Gwen Weil, Ph.D.

I have been seeing adults and adolescents in psychotherapy, first as a Psychological Assistant and then as a licensed Clinical Psychologist, since 1998. I provide both short- and long-term psychotherapy, and work with clients whose presenting issues include depression; anxiety; eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and obesity); obsessive-compulsive disorder; personality disorders; Asperger's Syndrome; chronic illness; substance abuse issues; sexual orientation and gender identity issues; and job and relationship transitions.

My approach to psychotherapy is eclectic, and informed by the particular needs of an individual client. However, I have a long-standing interest in psychodynamic approaches to treatment (inter-subjective, relational, and self-psychological approaches in particular). In addition, I have studied Buddhist meditation practices for almost 15 years and Anusara yoga for 3 years, and the wisdom, ways of conceptualizing the self, and orientation towards mindfulness and joy in each of these spiritual systems informs my work with clients. My clinical work also draws from humanistic, DBT, and CBT approaches to treatment.

I am continually amazed by how much she remembers about me and my life She definitely believes in quality over quantity here and it is much appreciated. I've never received better advice from anyone else. It was sound, helpful, and completely unbiased. When comparing them to others I have visited for the same condition, they are among the best I have seen. They always make sure to return my phone call/email as soon as possible.

Gwen made sure every single question I had was answered, and are always available if I think of any more questions I want answered. Gwen is so warm and professional, and makes the whole experience that much better. I was so impressed with the progress I was able to make after visiting her, and I feel a lot more confident and hopeful about the future. The office was very easy to locate, I didn't have any trouble finding it at all.
