I believe every human has the capacity and potential to achieve their objectives and discover more about themselves. My goals as a therapist are to help one find self-acceptance and inner contentment without relying on validation from the outside. Everyone has their own personal journey and I am dedicated to helping others problem solve and find solutions to achieve a state of well-being.
My lifetime experience with my horses has taught me about the importance of humility, patience, empathy, adaptability, and selflessness. I bring these same principles to the counseling relationship. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to express themselves.
I utilize several therapeutic approaches that help people overcome the obstacles preventing them from improving their quality of life. I am very flexible at adapting therapeutic techniques to help individuals with their specific needs. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I enjoy helping people empower themselves to make the necessary changes to live a more fulfilling life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deena Weinstein. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Deena is great she always responds in a timely manner and when it shows me off line when I'm not tries several ways to connect to me. She always has great reccomendations on how to deal with my different situations that arise. She is understanding, knowledgeable, and always makes me feel like my time with her is a safe space. My situation is a bit out of the norm but she really understands where I'm coming from and helps me see things objectively as well as giving me more coping tools to help me through things. I would 10 outta 10 recommend Deena.

Deena has been very kind, understanding and has been very supportive when I have needed help, I most appreciate her methods of communicating and how she is able to articulate where i can grow, without any feelings of judgement or criticism.
I was very skeptical of therapy at first but her approach has been very useful, kind and i have referred someone else to use better help because of her.
