Nick Weidner

With a background in law enforcement and a deep commitment to mental health, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. Before becoming a clinician, I served as a police officer, where I encountered firsthand the toll that high-stress environments, trauma, and addiction can take on individuals and their families. This experience shaped my passion for helping first responders, as well as those struggling with the impact of violence, PTSD, and substance use.

In addition to my work with first responders, dispatchers, nurses, I have extensive experience working with violent offenders and individuals facing significant trauma. I understand the complexities of human behavior, including the cycles of addiction and the deep wounds left by abuse, loss, and crisis. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness, alongside a spiritual component for those who seek it.

Recognizing that healing is not just psychological but also emotional and spiritual, I provide a space where clients can explore faith as a source of strength and resilience. Whether working with first responder personnel, veterans, individuals battling addiction, or those carrying the weight of past trauma, my goal is to foster healing, growth, and renewed purpose.

If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the unique challenges of high-risk professions, the impact of violence, and the power of faith in recovery, I am here to help.

Feeling empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

1. We start by getting to know one and another through conversation- trust is built upon transparency, authenticity, and reliability.

2. We investigate the problem areas of your life- what are the variables impacting you- both conscious or unconscious.

3. We examine character strengths- you have done life thus far, lets highlight the things you do well and assess further capabilities.

4. We explore goals for therapy- This gives us direction, focus, and how we later assess progress.

5. We WORK; applying my training and experience in many different therapy modalities to assist you in making positive life changes.
