Howard Weightman

My communication style

I like to say that I have two eyes to watch you with, two ears to listen to you with, and one mouth. When I do speak, I want it to be in the form of a question so that you can figure out what works best for you in your life. The goal is for you to answer the “why” questions in your life so you can find joy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I realized my greatest success and passion was to help young men and women improve their lives. I went to Jacksonville University to learn and grow so that I can be there for men and women dealing with horrible life events and be strong with them to help them get through the trauma, and excel because of the trauma, not break under it.

My goals for you

I am a systemic person. I want to identify the triggers to include the people, places, and things that cause you emotional pain, and then I want to develop personalized coping skills from your life that you can use to process and cope when triggered.

Our first session

I have a five-step process in therapy. The first step is to build a therapeutic relationship of trust, communication, and understanding between the therapist and the client. The second step is to explore emotions and discomforts of emotion. The third is to question and assess emotional dysfunction for step four.
