What I Do 

Life can be challenging and we all have our ups and downs.  At times, it can be difficult to move past what is getting in our way of our happiness in order to be our true selves. There is nothing like having an objective outsider that can truly listen in a non-judgmental way, help you to reflect on  the situation and factors that may be contributing, and together come up with strategies  which can allow you to move forward in a more thoughtful and meaningful way.  I am here to be that person for you.

I use an interactive, relational approach where I am here to listen, but additionally we have a dialogue in which I provide feedback. I have trained in many different theoretical orientations ranging from more psychodynamic models to a cognitive behavioral approach. My individualized approach is specific to each person I work with, depending on what you are looking to achieve. I am always training on evidence-based practices to meet my clients' needs. 

I work with adolescents and adults as individuals, couples, and families collaboratively to achieve the goals that you have set forth in the beginning of the therapeutic process. Depending on what these goals are, the therapy can be brief and solution focused, or more psychodynamic-oriented and longer term. 

​I am trained in the following modalities and utilize these modalities during my psychotherapy sessions with clients whenever appropriate.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Eriksonian Hypnosis 
  • Psychodrama 

Who I Am 

My name is Nicole Wegweiser and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  I received my Bachelors of Arts from Connecticut College in 2000 with a double major in Psychology and Dance in 2000.  After living in NYC and waiting tables and dancing professionally, and a brief stent in publishing marketing, I went to graduate school and received my Masters in Social Work from Fordham University in 2008.  After graduating, I completed a one year post-masters certification in working with eating disorders and body image issues through the Women's Therapy Centre Institute in NYC.  After jobs in a variety of social work settings which include mental health clinics, schools, and a child protection evaluation center, in both NYC and NJ, I followed my dreams and opened my private psychotherapy practice in 2016.  

I am currently serving as "Member At Large" and am a faculty member of the  Clinical Hypnosis Society of NJ.  I am also currently serving on the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) Component Society Committee. I am in my second year of attendance to become a Certified Psychodramist at Psychodrama New Jersey and am in the process of accruing my consultation hours to become an ASCH certified Hypnotherapist.  ​In addition to being a therapist, I am also a Certified Yoga Instructor, Zumba Instructor, and Barre Instructor.
