Getting to know Ralph Weiss

Hi there, I am Ralph. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Los Angeles, California, with over 25 years of continuous practice. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University – Los Angeles. I now work with adults, couples, and families. I have found that understanding is most useful when it flows from connecting with feelings and with what is held in one's body. My approach I have obtained training in Primal Therapy, IMAGO Relationship Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and most recently in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches. I believe that history influences how we develop in all aspects of our lives. I see the significant impact of traumatic experiences on how we partner, parent, live, and work. I do not believe growth and change are intellectual processes; rather, true change comes from a deepening cognitive, emotional, and somatic experiential process that involves connecting to the sources of our distress. My focus I work with adults, couples, and families. I prefer in-person sessions because I can see the small moment-to-moment changes that are so important. Telehealth is an option for folks who are not a danger to themselves or others, as I need to be able to attend more closely. However, I no longer provide in-person response to psychiatric emergencies in the home or community. My communication style I co-create safety with you by tracking you closely, without judgment and with acceptance. Working together is a collaborative process where I focus on what is emerging in the moment. My office is well soundproofed, with space to move around and a padded wall and mat for you to express your thoughts and feelings more freely. My goals for you I look for the parts of you that are curious and courageous enough to risk growth and pain, and the parts of you yearning to come into being. Your goals in therapy speak to these deeper longings.
