Getting Started

Jill P. Weber, Ph.D., 703-541-1277, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

You have already taken a difficult first step by trying to find a psychologist. Take some time to:

Then, once you feel comfortable, contact Dr. Weber either via email or at 703-541-1277 for a free, initial consultation.

Our First Meeting

Our first meeting lasts about 60 minutes and is an open dialogue in which we explore the nature and background of your difficulties. This is also your opportunity to determine whether you feel comfortable with the idea of therapy and a connection—or a good fit—with Dr. Weber.

By the end of the first meeting, or soon thereafter, you should decide if therapy is right for you and if Dr. Weber is a “good match” for you. From there, regular meetings will be scheduled and your path to a stronger, happier life begins.

Confidentiality

Treatment within this practice is provided with respect and privacy in a safe and supportive environment. It is of the utmost importance to me that you feel safe sharing your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences in a caring, compassionate, therapeutic environment.

Everything you share is strictly private and only between you and I. Should you want something to be shared with another professional or institution, you would need to provide written consent.

One exception to this confidentiality is in case of immediate danger to yourself or others, or in the case of child or elder abuse/neglect, which legally psychologists and other mental health professionals are required to report.
