“Amber is the perfect example of a professional. You often do not come across someone with so much knowledge who can display it in a way that is so professional and welcoming. I have had a few sessions so far and can feel myself going in the right direction. The entire process was very simple, stress- free, and smooth. Each step was explained to me and I am always seen on time. ”

Getting to know Amber Weiss
I’m Amber Weiss, a licensed therapist and founder of Transformative Mindset. We are a practice of highly skilled and compassionate providers dedicated to helping you create meaningful change in your life. Our team specializes in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. We combine evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy with deep empathy and understanding. At Transformative Mindset, we believe therapy should feel structured, supportive, and tailored to your unique goals, empowering you to overcome obstacles and build the life you truly want.
At our practice, we understand that reaching out for help is a brave step. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to grow, we are here to support you with care, professionalism, and respect. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build resilience, and create a stronger, healthier mindset for the future.
We offer both in-person and virtual sessions to meet your needs. Our offices are conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan at 347 Fifth Avenue and in Coconut Grove, Florida at 2000 S. Dixie Highway. No matter where you are, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me and the team at Transformative Mindset, you can expect a therapy experience that is structured, practical, and deeply supportive. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel heard, understood, and guided with care. I will meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you build insight and skills to create meaningful change in your life.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my direct yet compassionate approach. I balance validating your feelings with helping you take actionable steps toward your goals. I integrate evidence-based techniques like DBT, CBT, and solution-focused strategies to ensure our work is tailored to your unique needs. Most importantly, I will always show up as a real person in the room with you – someone who is fully present, engaged, and invested in your growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our process begins with an initial consultation where we learn about your goals, challenges, and what brings you to therapy at this time. We will verify your insurance benefits and inform you of our expected payment. Once you are ready to confirm your appointment, we will send you the intake forms and you will be all ready to start your journey.
During your first few sessions, we will explore your history, current concerns, and strengths to build a clear understanding of your needs. Together, we will create a treatment plan that feels both structured and flexible, outlining your goals and the approaches we will use to reach them.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to you. We often integrate techniques from DBT, CBT, and solution-focused therapy to help you gain insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful change in your life. As we continue working together, we will regularly check in on your progress, adjust our focus as needed, and ensure that therapy remains aligned with what is most important to you. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or deeper long-term growth, our goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space every step of the way.

I was very nervous about starting therapy. My friends had been encouraging me to try and I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I gave it a shot. She made me feel comfortable from the very first. She is understanding but also challenges me when appropriate.

I had never been to therapy before. I was really scared of being judged and concerned if it would work for me. She helped me conquer my fears and overcome my hesitations about therapy. I never realized how much it could help me.

Amber is super empathetic and gives wonderful advice. She has an ability to help me dig into my issues and find ways of feeling better and working through these thoughts and feelings. I would highly recommend.

I have been to many therapists throughout my life but have never had an experience like this. She is so kind to me, even when we are working through challenging topics. She makes me feel safe, heard, and comforted.

I already made a second appointment with Amber. I am so thankful to have found a therapist who I feel I can entirely connect with. You really can’t put a cost to that and the session was with every penny! I feel super comfortable communicating with her and I look forward to our next session! Thank you!!!!

She was right to the point. Her advice and expertise were to a T and it was very easy to go through the hurdle with that kind of advice. I totally got through it thanks to her. Also, whenever I had a question or concern— I was able to reach out to her through email and she wrote me back right away. I can’t thank her enough for the support she gave me in getting through things.

This was my first experience with therapy and Amber was great. I didn't know where to start and she led the conversation by asking questions to get to know me which got me to open up and I felt like we got a lot accomplished by the end of the first session. Amber is super professional, on-time, and makes sure that you work on being a better version of yourself even outside your scheduled sessions by assigning things to incorporate into your week.

During my visit I met with Dara. She was very attentive to my concerns and was very thorough. The office setting placed my mind at ease and the provider was very patient and listened attentively. :)
February 18, 2020Daniella D.Verified patient
Wasn’t really satisfied with how small the waiting area was. There wasn’t a receptionist to great new patients however once that process is over and just on the first visit it’s all good! Meredith made me feel welcomed. She made an uncomfortable situation feel easy and gave a sense that relief is near and she is happy to take the journey with you.

She listens to your concerns and knows exactly where to go from there. Super effective and I don't know how I would have been able to move forward without her. She is very unique in her approach and I feel like I am gaining in each session that we have. I have been seeing her for over a year now and our sessions have gradually decreased to the maintenance stage. I feel like she brought out the best in me and words can't even justify what I have gained from our sessions together. Superb therapist!!!!

I have been seeing Amber for over a year. She is an excellent listener. She asks questions and inserts ideas to help naturally guide your thought process. Amber never makes you feel judged or attacked. She genuinely cares and has a fresh perspective to offer you. She has an impeccable way of blending professionalism while making you feel truly cared for. I have made leaps and bounds in my life because of my sessions with her. I hold Amber in high regard and would recommend her to anyone.

I have seen numerous therapists and have never really felt like it was the right fit but with Amber, I feel really lucky to have found her. She helped me with my addiction and I no longer experience the hardships that I have in the past. I am so happy to have chosen her. She is a perfect therapist!!

I saw Ms. Weiss today and I have to say that I absolutely recommend her. She is a one of a kind therapist and very professional. The whole process was really easy and structured. She outlined my goals and gave me homework to start working on them. I already booked a follow up appointment with her. Highly recommend and A+ in my book.

Wow! I went to her for one session and since the appointment, I don’t feel as anxious or need to take any medication. I am shocked that it only took her one session to help me. I was experiencing anxiety for months and it was awful. My only wish is that I would have come sooner. She is truly a miracle worker and good at what she does. I am going to go back to see her to work on other goals I want to achieve.
December 12, 2018Suzanne A.Verified patient
That was a terrible experience start from the very beginning. 1. The place is very hard to find, there are multiple entrance for that street number and the entrance for this doctor is not on 36th street but there is no notice at all. When I call them I never got answered 2. The therapist is not professional at all. All I got from her is “you are great and you should think more positive”, literally. You can get much more by just talking to a friend, but you pay a lot for this 3. When I ask can I get some assessment to understand my current status from a more professional way. All I got is ‘I have to ask my advisor’ 4. When there was still around 15 min, I clearly feel the therapist start trying to end the session and wrap up my information. I don’t see any patience from her.
After all I feel I was totally cheated by this place and the feeling is very disappointing

Oh my gosh... She is so caring, sweet, and makes you feel totally comfortable. Ms. Weiss would take the time to listen to the issues that you have, which is very important. She shows complete and utmost empathy with you. She has a plan for you and wants you to win. For a first time client I don't regret one bit selecting her to be my therapist. She deserves every single piece of gratitude in my book. I can't wait to meet up with her again.

I booked a last minute appointment with Dr. Weiss and I'm glad I did. I had never been to a therapist before and she was warm, caring a thoughtful. She balanced listing to my concerns and providing helpful feedback. I highly recommend.

Very professional, soft mannered, and seemed very knowledgable & easy to talk to. I will defently be coming back & I think we will be a great fit working together.

Wow! Working with Amber has been a transformative experience. She was very skilled at picking out and organising my issues. After years of searching I finally found a therapist I was happy with and could continue to see. She is truly one of a kind. Amber Weiss is warm and smart and professional. It was a lovely visit and I am excited to continue my journey of discovering myself with her. She is the best therapist we all need, but can't find.

Amber seems very determined and passionate about helping to solve my issues. I find that most therapists just tell you what you want to hear but Amber seems to tell me what I need to hear. I could already feel like we were getting somewhere the first session. She also gave me worksheets to help me strengthen my skills outside of session. I highly recommend her!

I went to see Amber with my husband and I was worried we weren't going to get anywhere but she totolly transformed our thinking and we left the session feeling very hopeful that we can work together. She gave us specific tools and exercise to help us communicate better.

Amber was very attentive to my feelings. She allowed me to feel really comfortable during the session. I feel like normally it is hard for me to share things with a therapist the first time but not this time. I will be back for more sessions.

Since seeing Amber after 10 years of extreme anxiety and panic disorder, I am happy to say that I no longer have anxiety or any panic feelings. I am so happy to have met her! She is the best therapist ever! I hope more people get the opportunity to be cured like I did.

She is an excellent therapist and I would highly recommend her. I've have had depression for quite some time and I was feeling really hopeful after I left the session. She was very motivated towards helping me. She is very easy to talk to and I will be back for more sessions.

Easy to talk to, seemed very professional. She chalanged my thoughs and helped me see thing clearer. I already scheduled another appointment with her. I've never seen a therapist that seemed as determined to help find a solution to my problems as she.
