A Licensed Psychologist in the State of Oregon is a person with a doctorate degree and has been approved for independent practice by the Board of Psychologist Examiners (http://www.oregon.gov/OBPE/index.shtml) to provide psychological services. Dr. Weitman’s Oregon License number is 1767. She also is licensed in the state of Washington https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/providercredentialsearch/ Her Washington License number is PSYC.PY.60948521
Dr. Weitman helps people with various mental health concerns. She currently treats adults, older adults, and couples. She specializes in treating Public Safety Personnel and survivors of traumatic incidents.
You and Dr. Weitman will jointly create a plan for treatment based on your needs and goals. The type of treatment, the duration, and the frequency of visits will be collaboratively determined. There are many different methods that may be used to address your presenting concerns. Please feel invited to bring up any needs, requests, concerns, or questions.
Psychological treatment is a shared responsibility between you and Dr. Weitman. Treatment will likely be more effective if you share your honest thoughts and feelings. It calls for a very active effort on your part. If you are engaged in treatment, you may be asked to work on things both during sessions and outside the office. Most problems have solutions, so if you are experiencing problems with the treatment process, please let Dr. Weitman know immediately.
Please cancel all appointments within 24 hours so that your scheduled time can be used by others seeking services. If you choose to send her an email, please follow up with a phone message if you do not receive a response. You may leave a message on Dr. Weitman's voicemail, even after hours. If not, you will be charged the full fee for the session.
In light of current events related to Covid-19, and aligned with Oregon’s 'Stay Home, Save Lives’ policy, my practice offers online sessions until further notice. Once we have confirmed a virtual appointment, I will be providing detailed information for easily and securely attending sessions.
We will be meeting using a HIPAA secure platform called SimplePractice.
