Jane Weiler, LCSW

I’ve spent my adult life sneering at therapy — the stereotypical Freudian with tweed jacket and pipe who wants to go back to excavate my childhood at three sessions a week until one of us dies. But this summer, I felt the need of another opinion — not my own, not a friend’s — and via the Psychology Today website, I found Jane Weiler. On that site, you can see a brief, personal YouTube video where she comes across as she is in real life: plain-​spoken, easy, sympathetic without being in the least false, sincere. I’ve had five sessions so far and each time I’ve gone away feeling heard, understood, supported. I am sure that if I came in with a terrible plan, Jane would have no trouble gently encouraging me to take an alternate path, but she doesn’t advise, she doesn’t nag, and her plain but friendly counsel is wonderful. I’ve become a therapy convert, or at least a Jane Weiler advocate. We’re not related; I don’t get a discount; she’s the first counselor I’ve ever reviewed on Unilocal.But she’s low-​key brilliant at what she’s doing, and I recommend her as strongly as one can on Unilocal
