Dara M Weil, Psy D

At our practice, we specialize in working with older adolescents and young adults in the Evanston and surrounding areas since 2001. Our practice is dedicated to helping individuals overcome a range of mental health concerns, including eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and identity/adjustment issues.

A Personalized Approach

As a generalist, I, Dr. Weil, use a wide range of theoretical orientations to provide a tailored approach to each client. I predominantly use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. In our initial sessions, I work with clients to set goals and identify obstacles holding them back from achieving a more fulfilling life.

A Collaborative Approach

As a collaborative therapist, I believe in working closely with clients to identify their goals and develop personalized strategies to achieve them. I strive to be direct, yet empathetic in my approach, understanding that it takes courage to engage in the therapeutic process. My goal is to empower clients with the skills and tools necessary to overcome their challenges and lead more fulfilling lives.

Services

Our practice offers individual therapy sessions, each lasting 50 minutes. The initial meeting may take a bit longer to gather necessary information. The length of therapy depends on individual goals and needs. Some clients require only a few sessions to address specific issues, while others may benefit from regular sessions over a longer period.

Confidentiality

I adhere to the highest standards of confidentiality. All information shared in therapy is private and confidential, unless you provide written permission to discuss otherwise. In rare instances, I may be legally obligated to disclose information, such as imminent danger of harm to oneself or others, child or elder abuse.
