I’ve had therapist before and I can assure you Ava is the one that has made me feel the most comfortable in all aspects and it feels safe to be open with her without judgement. She listens to understand not just to answer. She has made it a safe space and I will appreciate her always
More about Ava
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 24 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients. Among the areas of expertise are: PTSD, Play therapy, Couples and Family Therapy. I have worked for two regional MHMR's and in a psychiatric hospital setting (UTHealth Science Center Northeast) with families, adults and adolescents. I also have credentials as a teacher and taught special education for several years in public school districts.
I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist with additional specializations in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively identify and address personal life challenges. I strive to integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each patient. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. I received training in Cognitive Processing Therapy through the Department of State Health Services, and my name appears in the state online registry of certified CPT therapists.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Everything is great
Ava has a wise, calming demeanor that is very comforting. I feel that she has dealt with a wide range of issues in her practice, but she doesn't minimize or dismiss anyone's specific experience.
Ava is very in tune with my issues and has so much wisdom and advice… I feel so supported in my journey.
Ava is kind and patient. She takes time to learn my history and background and uses her expertise to guide best practices. She is very knowledgeable and solution oriented.
So far I really enjoy my time with Dr. Weaver and I have been more open and honest than I’ve ever been. She doesn’t make me feel like I can’t be myself. And she’s very honest with her responses. I look forward to my time with her. It’s been nice to have someone understand me and my thoughts.
Very good with communication skills, advice is outstanding and you can tell she is experienced.
