There is another review from 2015 regarding Dr Weller and his ability to deal with abuse in a marriage and personality disorders, and wow, I could have written it myself. Dr Weller basically became an enabler for my abusive husband. My abusive husband seemed to feel emboldened in his abuse while under his care. I was dealing with extreme abuse, EXTREME and many of his behaviors had become downright bizarre during this time. I felt like a crazy person myself trying to get Dr Weller to see what was happening but he continued to coddle my husband, the abuser. On top of that, he missed that my husband was in psychosis which I later discovered was due to hidden marijuana use. How Dr Weller could not figure this out with all of the bizarre behaviors he was presenting with is beyond me. I’m lucky that I did not end up dead at his hands while he was under the care of Dr Weller. I suggest he spend some time studying up a little more on abuse. Why Does He Do That is a great place to start. I believe this man is a danger to woman in abusive relationships.

Dr. Weller is awesome. His style is very casual and laid back. I would describe his therapy as "talk therapy." He lets the client lead the session. Very accommodating considering schedule and payment. Great guy!

Dr. Weller has changed my life and made it so much better. As his patient, he sees me and my needs and supports me in finding my better self and teaching me how to resolve and filter through my own demons of PTSD with all the hardships that accompany that including depression and anxiety.

He always encourages and guides me to find my own answers that allow me to have control and direction of my life. Dr. Weller is the best psychologist/life guide I could have found. He is honest and direct with the perfect balance of compassion and empathy. I am living a better life because of him. He’s an amazing doctor and truly saves my life.

"It is not possible to be truly balanced in one’s views of an abuser and an abused woman. As Dr. Judith Herman explains eloquently in her masterwork Trauma and Recovery, “neutrality” actually serves the interests of the perpetrator much more than those of the victim and so is not neutral. Although an abuser prefers to have you wholeheartedly on his side, he will settle contentedly for your decision to take a middle stance. To him, that means you see the couple’s problems as partly her fault and partly his fault, which means it isn’t abuse."

Dr. Weller was horrible at this and just made things worse! I made the mistake of telling him that we appreciate honesty and straightforwardness (which we do), but as a supposed personality disorder specialist, he should have known better than to show any signs of siding with the abuser, even if only in neutrality. Our former psychologist saved our marriage and self respect and helped my husband take accountability and responsibility, but we moved. We were told that my husband would need counseling "indefinitely" for his narcissistic personality disorder, so we sought out Dr. Weller. At first he told me basically that I was crazy for staying with him after all he put me through, but then when my husband came and cried to him he felt sorry for him and acted like my holding my husband accountable was unfair. Just what a narcissist wants to hear. Anyone with any remote knowledge of NPD knows that this is a tactic or fleeting emotion the NPD patient has and will further their entitlement issues. Our former psychologist would tell me straight up if I was silly when we were ALONE. But in front of my husband it was clear he had my back and it was JUST what my husband needed! It has been several years since we have seen Dr. Weller, but I have been wanting to review him for a long time and gice others a heads up because he was extremely expensive and didn't seem to have a clue about how to handle NPD. It took me a long time to undo what he did and it is HARD trying to deal with a narcissist and former abuser on my own to make sure it doesn't get to that point again. Don't waste your money on him, if you are dealing with NPD anyway.
