License No: APCC8212
My name is Keileisha Weaver, I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I have lived in San Diego for most of my life. I grew up in San Diego and attended local schools there. I earned my B.A. in psychology and went on to complete my M.S. in clinical psychology. I first discovered my passion for counseling when I attended counseling myself as a teenager and watching those around me being given the opportunity to have access to a therapist and provided support with working through their traumas. Since that time, I have had the privilege of working with various individuals of multiple ages and diagnoses.
I have over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. My areas of specialization include ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, ODD, OCD, Trauma/Abuse, Stress Management, Work Changes, Life Transitions, Divorce, Parenting, Self Esteem issues, Relationships, and Behavior Management.
I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents & adults with various forms of mental illness & trauma, including sexual abuse, domestic violence, PTSD, depression, bipolar, substance abuse, Anxiety, Autism & ADHD. As an APCC, I love what I do and enjoy seeing progress made by clients and watching clients work through their traumas and distress. As an APCC, I have made it my mission to help children, adolescents, and families cope healthfully with life challenges and trauma. I know the idea of therapy is often intimidating, I find it important to provide a warm and non-judgmental approach with all clients and to have a collaborative approach to best achieve the desired results from therapy. Aside from using a collaborative approach, I use a combination of solution focused, and strengths-based approaches when working on identifying problem solving strategies and helping to achieve goals. I am committed to providing a welcome and safe environment for therapy. I am open to all clients; I believe everyone has their own unique characteristics which may further benefit their journey in treatment.
