EXPERTISE: Dr. Weinel has expertise in the treatment of mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and more. Dr. Weinel believes that her role as a psychiatrist should be focused on carefully listening to patients’ stories, hearing each individual’s unique perspective, and collaborating to set treatment goals together. It takes time to thoughtfully understand the needs of individual patients, their family members, and other support network members (which may include teachers, counselors, speech therapists, etc.). Dr. Weinel cherishes psychiatry’s personal approach to medicine and thrives in the process of building long-term relationships with patients and their families. She is passionate about supporting her patients and enabling them to discover their own strengths and achieve their personal goals.
