Christina Weiss

As a South Bay native, it mattered deeply to me to build a healing space rooted in the community that shaped me. I wanted to bring together a team of like‑minded professionals—people from a an array of therapeutic specialties - who share a genuine passion for the healing process. I believe we have built that here, and I’m committed to continuing to grow this  healing space into a truly integrative resource for our community.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with well over two decades of experience in the mental health field. My work centers on trauma healing, including complex PTSD, developmental trauma and the nuanced intersection of eating disorders, addiction recovery and dissociation. I draw from a deeply integrative framework—rooted in somatic therapies, depth psychology, and relational approaches—and weave in my extensive training in Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, EMDR, and IFS/somatic parts work throughout our work together.

I am honored and grateful to run a thriving practice at the Weiss Psychological Center where I support individuals and families working through trauma, dissociation, and long‑standing challenges with emotional and nervous system regulation. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as its Director, providing supervision and guiding clinicians in trauma‑informed, relational and embodied treatment frameworks.

My clinical leadership background includes serving as Clinical Director at Center for Discovery – South Bay and as a Founder of a Partial Hospitalization Program for eating disorders originally designed to be a cornerstone at the intersection of eating disorders and trauma. Earlier in my career, I worked across multiple levels of care—including residential addiction treatment, eating disorder programs, and university counseling centers—which has given me a comprehensive understanding of the full continuum of mental health services and levels of care, particularly within the eating disorder and addiction field.

I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and a master’s in Communication Management with a Public Health emphasis from USC’s Annenberg School. I also completed training in Attachment and Psychodynamic Theory at the Tavistock Institute in London and am currently pursuing Level II certification in the Treatment of Complex Trauma and Dissociation through the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) where I serve on the Board of the Eating Disorder Special Interest Group, contributing my experience at the intersection of trauma and eating disorder treatment.
