Hello! I’m Gail J Weissert, LCSW-C, DCSW
Individual, Family, Couples and Hypnotherapy
I bring to your life over thirty years’ postgraduate experience in varied settings and with many populations. My greatest joy in life is to see my clients make strides through crisis and beyond – to coping better, feeling better, and with a new understanding and skill set. My training and experience are in a variety of modalities, from cognitive behavioral therapy to behavior modification, to family systems therapy, to hypnotherapy and energy psychology strategies.
My Expertise
Expert in Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
With years of experience, I help individuals understand and control their body’s response to stress, easing anxiety and improving emotional well-being.
Through personalized therapy, I guide you toward a calmer mind, helping you reframe negative thoughts and regain control of your life.
My Approach
It’s pretty simple. We always try to come up with a direction to immediately begin to resolve your presenting problem. This involves careful, non-judgemental listening on my part. We identify the most salient underlying issues and begin to work on them, together, to achieve your most desired outcomes, so that you can feel better as quickly as possible. I choose from a variety of clinically approved strategies to do so. Self-determination, a value in my profession, is key. I will not change you, but I can definitely help you to grow and change, and in turn, the systems around you will change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Offer Telehealth Counseling?
Yes. I am now offering mental health counseling services via telehealth, which means over the phone (landline), cellphone, (including face-to-face), and also over a HIPAA approved, secure platform, which will work over computer or smartphone as well. Learn more here.
How Much Does A Session Cost?
Privately paying offers some benefits, such as that an insurance company or other entity is less likely to obtain access to any information about you. I charge the average rate, which is $195.00 for an initial intake assessment session, $135 per session thereafter for individuals, or $145 per session hour for couples.
I am empaneled with most insurance companies and with a number of Employee Assistance programs. Thus, what you will pay depends upon your situation. EAPs often pay for a very limited number of sessions, 1-6 typically, and there is no out of pocket cost to the client. If you use your health insurance, you may pay about $15.00 up to about $40.00 copayment for each session.
A few insurances do not have copays at all. You can find out how yours works by calling the number on the back of you insurance card under “Mental Health Benefits”, or under “Customer Care”.Your health insurance company’s website may also explain your benefits to you.

What Happens In The First Session?
How Many Sessions Are Necessary?
I always review with my client when they feel that they are doing better, or when they have reached their hoped-for objective. Sometimes, my clients opt to move forward on working on another issue or try out the use of some other modality.
