Ethan Weiss, MS, LCSW

Ethan Weiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist specializing in mental health treatment for children, adolescents, young adults, and families. He holds both a Master’s of Social Work from Loyola University of Chicago and a Master’s of Child Development from the Erikson Institute.

Prior to opening Yes & Therapy LLC, Ethan was Lead Clinician at Herrera Psychology in Osprey, Florida where he provided individual therapy for youth and their families, collaborated with other professionals to create networks of support for clients, and offered workshops and speaking engagements to build awareness and reduce stigma around mental health. Ethan previously worked as the Middle School Director of Counseling and Academic Services at The Out-of-Door Academy in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.

Before entering the mental health field, Ethan studied theater at Skidmore College, trained in Russia with the Moscow Art Theater, and in a graduate intensive for classical theater at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts.

No matter the setting or the client, Ethan believes that the most effective therapy takes place in the context of an open, dynamic relationship. As a result, his primary goal is to create a therapeutic environment that encourages dialogue, flexibility, humor, and spontaneity in the pursuit of client-directed treatment goals.
