EHRIN WEISS, PH.D. · CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
I became a psychologist because I grew up watching people I cared about struggle, and not knowing how to help.
I spent my career building the tools I wished I'd had then.
Clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety, OCD, and family psychology. Working with adults, teens, and children in Houston and across Texas, New York, and 40+ states.
MY STORY
The question that started everything was simple: what actually helps people?
I knew I was going to major in psychology before I started college. Growing up, I had friends dealing with mental health challenges and difficult family dynamics that I didn't fully understand at the time. I wanted to help them and couldn't. I didn't have the tools, and I'm not sure I fully understood what was happening. That gap stayed with me.
I also experienced significant anxiety myself, something that became clearer in college. I've been able to draw on the techniques I now teach to manage it, and that experience has given me a practical, inside-out understanding of how these tools work and why they matter. But my primary motivation was always to understand and help others, not to process my own experience.
What I've found, after working with hundreds of people across a wide range of concerns, is that there's no single answer to what helps. Different people respond to different approaches. What works for one person may not work for another. And the most important factor in any good treatment is the ability to pay attention to what's actually happening and adjust accordingly. That's the orientation I bring to every person I work with.
WHO I HELP
Adults, teens, children, and families across the lifespan.
I work with people at every stage of life, from young children through adults, on a range of concerns. Each specialty page goes into more depth on what I offer for that specific population.
Adults
Anxiety, OCD, burnout, and life transitions. Individual therapy for adults of all ages, including young adults whose concerns align more with the teen years than adult life.
Teens & children
Anxiety, OCD, depression, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, social difficulties, and more. CBT and DBT-informed approaches adapted for each age group.
Parents & families
Evidence-based approaches for parents who feel stuck, including parent-only treatment options for childhood anxiety and behavioral concerns.
MY APPROACH
Skills-based. Relational. Matched to the person.
My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, primarily CBT and its derivatives, but the specific approach I use depends on the person in front of me, not a predetermined protocol. I've pursued training in a wide range of methods specifically because different people respond to different things, and having more tools means being able to find what actually works rather than applying the same framework to everyone.
Alongside the skills-based work, the relationship matters enormously. I'm genuinely interested in the people I work with as whole people, not collections of symptoms. The goal isn't to treat a diagnosis. It's to help someone function better and feel better in the ways that matter to them. That requires paying attention, staying curious, and being willing to change course when something isn't working.
I'm also direct about that last part. If an approach isn't working, I want to know. I'd rather have an honest conversation about what isn't helping and try something different than continue down a path that isn't moving things forward. You direct what we focus on. I bring the tools and the clinical judgment. The work is genuinely collaborative.
Primary approaches
CBT, TEAM-CBT (Level 3), ERP, I-CBT, DBT-informed skills, SPACE (Lebowitz), TF-CBT, non-violent resistance (Omer), behavioral science (Kazdin), developmental neuroscience (Siegel & Bryson)
The philosophy
Matching the approach to the person. Staying relational and empathic alongside the skills-based work. Focusing on the whole person, not the diagnosis. Adjusting when something isn't working.
Also drawing on
Parts work drawing on Internal Family Systems, when it fits the person and the presentation. ACT and acceptance-based strategies. Rumination-stopping techniques. Situational flexibility framework.

PUBLISHED WORK
Anxiety Relief Book for Kids
A practical, evidence-based workbook that translates CBT techniques into age-appropriate exercises for children and their parents. Used by families, schools, and therapists working with anxious children.
The book grew directly out of clinical work: the exercises are the same ones used in session, adapted so children can practice them at home with their parents. It's a tool for families who want to support a child's anxiety work between appointments, or for parents whose child isn't yet in therapy and want a place to start.
