The
Practice of Moses Weksler, Ph.D.
I have been in practice for
over 30 years with extensive experience in
individual and group therapy, innovative
hypnotherapy, forensic psychology, pain management,
and overweight adolescents and adults.
I, further, have extensive
involvement with personal injury litigation, IMES
and consultation, and disability IMES and make court
appearances as an expert witness in personal injury
and child custody cases. I am an independent
consultant for N.Y. Presbyterian Hospital,
Maimonides Hospital, and North Shore University
Hospital.
My practice is multiphasic
and eclectic and I am also a specialist in orthodox
Jewish practitioner experiences and with observant
and secular Jews.
I have two practice
locations for your convenience: Bayside and
Brooklyn.
