LMFT, 9 years of experience
Hi, I’m Paul. I am a Licensed Therapist and my goal is to help you discover ways forward through distress towards wellness. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Distress is experienced in many different ways that impact our ability to function and cope within a healthy framework. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth behavioral patterns and pain perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or are just ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a session. Thanks. Hope I can be a resource.
During our first session we will get to know each other. There is nothing about having a first session that locks anyone into a commitment. Our time will be spent in dialogue about who I am as a therapist and whatever you feel comfortable sharing with me about your reasons for seeking therapy. In some cases I may assess for potential safety concerns or levels of distress though these diagnostics are only to find appropriate supports for challenges that someone may be experiencing at heightened levels. Therapy is a conversation and our first session will give us both information about one another to decide what the next steps may be.
I am a listener and an empath while being and existential realist. There are ways forward and I love assisting people in discovery and mediating wellness to the best of my abilities.
I believe my dream clients are those that have a curiosity about themselves and a desire to engage.

I just completed my third visit with Paul and he has been great. This is my first go at any type of therapy and I feel safe sharing what I am going through with him. I plan to continue attending more sessions with him.

I got lucky (or somehow AI helped?) with Grow matching me with Paul Weaver. We had a connection from the beginning and is now my riding partner in my journey. I look forward to his insight and every session.

This was sort of what I hoped therapy would always be. I have problems that need addressing and I know I need help as I have continuously failed alone. He listened and gave the same kind of advice I'd hear from my most trusted friend who works in recovery. He made me better accept/understand the ways "healthcare" enabled my addiction or worse, and that it's not my fault, which has me crying right now, but I guess I have still been carrying a lot of guilt/responsibility around that.
Our emotions inform us about how we perceive ourselves in our experience of the world and working to understand how our emotions inform our sense of being helps create new options.
Moving through distress with intent and strategies help us take one step at a time while appreciating where we are.
Self empathy can be hard to experience and learning self compassionate skills allow us to learn new ways to manage distress with confidence.
Focusing the capacity of our minds is an important component to actualizing change. Mindfulness supports help us unlearn unhelpful ways of processing by challenging us to bring awareness that change can occur.
