About Dr. Jon Weingarden's Blogs

Introduction to my blog, and invitation to contribute!

My hope is to write an array of mental health or mental-health related articles based upon my interests, things that come up in therapy, and what seems relevant or helpful to the community - both professionals and laypersons. Anything I write is from a personal or psychology professional perspective, and is only a perspective, not intended to be "right" or the only way to perceive a specific topic. If I touch on any subject outside the umbrella of psychology, I am not claiming any expertise outside of my field, but simply sharing a thought about the subject as it relates to my experience individually or as a psychologist.

I hope to engage good-natured, well-intended discussion, and health-related decisions. Please don't hesitate to reach out directly through the contact form, comment for discussion with the public, or consult your professional healthcare providers!

At this point in time, I intend the "Amuse Bouche" section to be the primary blog category. An amuse bouche is meant to be just a taste, amusing or entertaining, a "gift from the kitchen" meaning that I am sharing for free rather than selling ideas. These are meant, on one hand, to be stand-alone thoughts or articles, but also representative is at least an aspect of how I think or see psychology and wellness (as an amuse bouche should represent the restaurant in some fashion). If you like what you see and read, please show your appreciation in any way you see fit - sharing it, commenting, liking, subscribing, referring a friend, or donating to help make the time and effort put into maintaining the blog worthwhile beyond my personal satisfaction.

Additionally, I am always open to publishing articles by other writers in an existing category or their own category. Please reach out via the contact page and let me know your idea(s)!

Disclosure: Likely this blog will financially benefit me and the clinicians working in my practice by promoting the practice online. There may be other nominal financial benefits from advertisements placed on the website by Google, or links to some but not all products such as some of those on Amazon or professional affiliate programs. None of these are a significant or primary source of income, and would not under any circumstance influence opinions shared on this blog or website. Any income generated by this blog or links within simply help support the time and effort going into creating the blog.
