Shoshy Weiss

LCSW-R

For over 25 years I have had the privilege and joy of working with women. I am continually moved watching women release the emotional shackles that have held them captive—to see them step into a true aliveness and discover what becomes possible on the other side! I invite you to learn more about my approach and the ways we may be able to work together.

Mrs. Shoshy Weiss, LCSW-R, IIE-CT, brings over 25 years of experience providing individual psychotherapy to women. Specializing in relational and complex trauma, her work also encompasses PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other emotional challenges. Her primary treatment approach integrates IFS and EMDR, two powerful and highly effective modalities. Clients are seen both virtually and in person in Lakewood, NJ.

With a deep passion for bridging psychology and Torah wisdom, Shoshy has facilitated DBT groups, created workshops, and developed "Relationship Breakthroughs," a telehealth course during Covid. She also runs a women's learning group at their shul, where her husband Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss serves as rav. They reside in New Jersey , near many of their children and grandchildren.

 

Shoshy is excited to launch "Foundations of IFS," an introductory course bringing the transformative power of IFS to women worldwide via Zoom and teleconferencing.

 

At the heart of her work is the belief that every person possesses innate wholeness and the ability to heal. She is deeply passionate about helping clients shed the emotional burdens that hold them back, and continues to be moved as they reclaim their lives and discover their authentic, exquisite selves.

Individual Psychotherapy

In person & Online

My work draws from IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR, two of the most transformative approaches in trauma healing, capable of providing people with deep and lasting change.

You may come with a lot of self-awareness — understanding your patterns, your history, your triggers — and still feel like nothing has truly shifted. Or you may come simply knowing that something feels off, that life isn’t matching the vision you held for yourself, without yet having the words for why. All of it can be worked through here.

Wherever you begin, what matters is that something in you is reaching for more.

You may be living with anxiety that hums beneath everything, or a stress that never fully lifts. Perhaps you’ve gone numb — not because you don’t care, but because feeling became too much. Maybe depression has made the world feel flat and far away, or shame has become such a constant companion you’ve stopped questioning whether it belongs there. These are not signs that something is permanently wrong with you. They are signals. And they are worth listening to.

Together we’ll tend to what’s really going on beneath — the childhood wounds that quietly wrote your rulebook, the relationships that left marks, the moments large and small that told you you weren’t safe, you weren’t enough, it was your fault. We’ll meet those places not with judgment, but with curiosity, skill, and genuine care.

I am continually moved watching women release the emotional shackles that have held them captive- to see them step into a true aliveness and discover what becomes possible on the other side.


Sessions available in person and online.


What you’re feeling is part of the human story — you are not alone in it, and you are not stuck forever. There is real joy ahead, and I cannot wait for you to find it!
