Her practice often receives referrals from the detention center and the group practice where she previously worked. Her firm's name, 11:11 Therapy and Consulting, is named for a significant date — November 11, 2011 — when her daughter's father was in a serious car accident. She and her daughter have since reclaimed 11/11 as a symbol of healing and strength.

In addition to running her own practice, Ms. Weaver served as a therapist at Meridell Achievement Center from 2024 to 2025.
