Philosophy of Care
J.D. Weidner is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia who has 12 years of experience working with individuals with co-occurring disorders. He completed clinical licensure training at Nova Southeastern University, and also holds an academic doctorate in psychology, with a focus in addiction. He collaborates with the clients through motivational enhancement, cognitive behavioral therapy, guided self-change, solution-focused, exposure therapy, meditation, performance enhancement, coaching, and client-centered approaches to help individuals realize their goals in treatment.
He understands that frequently we may self-medicate ourselves as a way to deal with stress, loss, or grief and that these patterns can be detrimental, taking the form of addiction or behavioral form of escapism, and often result in a spiral of self-destruction that leads us to feel out of control. In addition, these patterns in life can cause us to lose sight of our goals affecting our health and our relationships. Therefore, he is here to help individuals regain control over their life and break the cycle to start healing.

I found Dr. Weidner very relatable and I was very impressed with his recall regarding my issues. As an older adult I think Dr. Weidner has the ability to adapt to different generations.

Thank you for listening to my concerns and needs. You have really helped me in the past 4 weeks with seeing my path and building confidence in me.

I was matched perfectly with JD at a time when I really needed someone to help me process a break up and other things I was struggling with in my communication style. He’s greatly helped me with achieving new communication goals, boundaries being set with others and also becoming more comfortable with letting go of past relationships while accepting my journey and where I am in my life. He’s been extremely good with checking in during weeks when I’ve been busy and is schedule has been very easy to work along with mine.

JD has been great. Listens, asks questions to make me think about my actions.
I feel a difference already and it’s been two weeks. I have been feeling a better grip of my emotions and anxiety.
If I have any questions, he’ll respond fairly quickly.

He’s a kind, understanding person who has made me feel at ease (which is very difficult!) I would recommend him highly to my peers.
