Create healthy partner, professional, social & family relationships
Crossing a river symbolizes bold and courageous growth. Often, when we are half way across a river, fear and doubt set in. This is when we get stuck and often abandon what we seek. I help clients navigate and lean into the discomfort, enabling them to move forward, break unwanted patterns and achieve their goals.

Meredith Weiner
LMSW, CTACC
I have over 25 years of experience helping people sift through the past to find their path forward. I practiced traditional psychotherapy in New York City for over a decade, working with individuals, couples and groups. I also spoke to many Fortune 500 companies and their employees about developing and enhancing their communication and collaboration skills. I studied psychology as an undergraduate at the University of Miami and earned a Masters of Clinical Social Work as a merit scholar from New York University. I was lucky enough to train under some of the best therapists in New York City, before opening my private practice. In addition to my formal clinical training I have completed a professional coaching certification program through Coaching Training Alliance. Using brain science, clinical experience and research based tools, I have created the River Cross Method. I work in Los Angeles where I live with my husband of 17 years and two teenage sons.
I have always been drawn to personal growth. In fact, I worked with my own therapist during my many years in graduate school and private practice. Once a week, I took the subway from my office on Park Avenue down to my therapist's office in Greenwich Village to talk endlessly about my own story and all of my blocks and wounds. While this therapy made me keenly aware of who I was, I still felt stuck. The more I processed the past, the more I became attached to the narratives from which I was trying to move forward. After years of psychotherapy, I switched from my therapist to a relationship coach. In a short period of time, I made changes I never thought possible. I moved on from the "why" and started focusing on the "how," learning skills I bring with me into every relationship. If you are similarly frustrated and tired of your own story, don't give up hope. I can help you move beyond the middle of the river to find the joy, connection and peace you seek on the other side.

Executive and Leadership Coaching
I believe leadership growth cannot be separated from personal growth. Consequently, one fundamental aspect of my leadership coaching is to help clients do the “inner work” of leadership. This involves building a deeper understanding of themselves, the underlying sources of their drive, and their unique strengths. It also includes identifying what may be getting in the way of them leading from a place of authenticity and clarity.

Michaeline DeJoria - CEO, John Paul Mitchell Systems
"In a matter of months, Meredith has taught me the tools to overcome and tackle internal blocks that have held me back for years. Meredith delivers tangible results without sacrificing compassion. In every session, I am not only healing but also setting myself up to improve over the week. I thought change was hard, and feared may challenges were insurmountable, until I met Meredith."
Carrie W - Music Executive
"Very grateful for for what Meredith has accomplished in a short time in regards to my marriage. She not only listens with a highly attuned ear, she offers concrete actionable solutions to deep problems. My wife and I were stuck in a never ending loop and could not find a way out of the old behaviors of relating to each other. With Meredith's help we have broken that loop and are on the way to more open communication, intimacy and healing."
PJ K - Writer/ Actor
Meredith is leading me on a path to sanity and clarity. She has taught me tools to overcome body image. Meredith has also guided me through dealing with chemotherapy for breast cancer. She is a kind and wise soul you can easily open up to. I live in the State of Florida and her west coast location has not stopped our ability to figure out timing. She is a wonderful coach and I am so lucky to work with her."
Stacey G - Fitness Company Owner
"Thank you Meredith! I was stuck. Stuck in my creativity, my marriage and my relationship with myself. I was sick of my story and did not know how to get out of my way. In three months you helped me find my way to clarity. I am getting more out of a day than I did in a month, I am present in my life and have found peace of mind. I can't ever thank you enough."
Mark R - Writer/ Director
"I was lacking in communication skills and my co workers had a negative perception of me as a result. This was limiting my career advancement and I did not know how to change. My co-worker was working with Meredith on communication in her romantic relationship, and suggested I call her. Through Meredith's coaching, I've learned how to communicate in a productive way and I have a tool box of techniques that I never had before. The work I have done over the past 6 months has significantly improved my relationships with others. I am no longer feeling lost in what to say and how to say it and I am capable being in dialogue with my team. I finally feel I have the skills to lead others. I also want to mention that somehow Meredith delivers feedback with so much humor and compassion that I found the work to be something I looked forward to."
