Best Psychologist in Rhode Island


Jolie Weingeroff Psychologist, PhD

I have advanced training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults and adolescents. My areas of specialization and interest include: anxiety disorders, eating disorders, relationship issues, difficulties managing emotions, low self-esteem, and working with LGBTQIA-identified individuals. I am primarily a CBT therapist, though I frequently incorporate techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and dynamic therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a shared understanding of what brings them to therapy and determine what treatment approach(es) will be most effective.
My style is direct, practical, & relatable. I teach my clients self-care, coping skills, and ways to identify and communicate their needs effectively, so that they are able to live with authenticity and become more confident in their ability to navigate challenging situations. I continually focus on what works & keeping therapy moving in the right direction.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of treatment, and strive to create a validating environment in which I help my clients attain measurable goals. It is always a privilege to work with my clients and see them develop a sense of mastery and fulfillment. I look forward to hearing from you to start this important process together.

Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person’s present behavior. The goals of  psychodynamic therapy  are a client’s self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. ​Whether it be a long term problem or temporary life circumstance prompting someone to seek therapy, we understand that every individual client, session, and situation is unique. Our therapists have expertise in specific modalities of therapy and utilize cutting edge, evidence-based therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness strategies, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
