Personal Statement

While he initially worked only with adults, Dr. Weg began to accept children and adolescents into his practice in 1996. This change came in response to multiple complaints by concerned parents who reported to Dr. Weg that they were having difficulty finding child psychologists who were competent in the cognitive behavioral treatment of OCD. At that time, Dr. Weg initiated post-doctoral training with some of the country’s most prominent specialists in the treatment of pediatric OCD. He has since himself presented workshops on this topic to mental health professional organizations, and has expanded his work to include not only children and adolescents with OCD, but also youngsters who suffer with other types of anxiety disorders.

He has previously for a period of nine years served as a consultant to the Johnson & Johnson family of companies, where he offered regular presentations on stress management topics, smoking cessation, and a variety of communication and life management skills. This was presented as part of Live For Life, an employee wellness program, to more than a dozen J&J companies in Central New Jersey, and to audiences often numbering over 100.

For a period of four years, Dr. Weg had served as a member of the Board of Directors and scientific advisor, for Panic Relief, Inc., an organization dedicated to the education, support, and referral for panic sufferers. He had written a featured article in every issue of the Panic Relief News during that four year period, wherein he reviewed, in detail, a cognitive-behavioral treatment program for panic.
