Substance use and process addictions are some of the most painful and debilitating issues a person and their loved ones can face. I have extensive experience helping people overcome these issues to build a stable life. I work with both individuals as well as couples and families for any addiction issue.
Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health struggles people face in today's society. These issues can range from mild to severe loss of ability to function. I can help you reduce and eliminate your symptoms by offering the most effective tools available today.
OCD can take many forms, and can negatively impact a person's ability to navigate daily life. I work with you to understand the underlying dynamics that keep the obsessive compulsive process going. Once you understand these dynamics, you can move forward in living your life in the way you choose.
Anger can destroy relationships, employment opportunities, and just about any area of ones life. Most importantly, it can devastate self-esteem. I utilize evidence-based techniques to help you achieve mastery over your emotions so that you can live with stability.
While being a sexual minority is more accepted in today's society than in times past, there are still many struggles that LGBTQIA+ individuals face, no matter your age. I understand and am knowledgeable about these issues and am honored to explore with you these sensitive and challenging issues. Together, we can create a better life for you.
After many years of working exclusively in an office, the pandemic has changed the way therapy can be offered in the minds of both therapists and clients. Telehealth creates a venue for powerful work that is no less effective than in person therapy. It also makes therapy more feasible and available in that clients no longer have to travel to receive quality care.
CBT is an evidence-based treatment intervention that strives to reduce symptoms of many mental health conditions. CBT focuses on the impact thoughts have on emotions, and the manner in which emotions impact behavior. I discover how cognitive distortions and maladaptive schemas can be altered to elicit positive change in my clients.
Psychodynamic therapy involves the facilitation of a deeper understanding of a person’s emotions and other mental processes, and works to help people gain greater insight into how they think and feel. By improving this understanding, people can then make better choices about their lives. This approach relies more on the relationship between the therapist and client to make meaningful change.
With over 30 years of clinical experience in the fields of addiction, substance use, LGBTQIA+, depression, anxiety, OCD, couples and anger management, I am highly trained to address any issue you may be facing. You will receive innovative and effective interventions from not simply a therapist, but a licensed psychologist, to help improve your quality of life and gain the skills to overcome any difficult situation.
At Levine Psychological Center, I believe that every client is unique and deserves a personalized treatment plan. I work closely with my clients to develop a plan that suits their individual needs, goals, and preferences. I use evidence-based practices and regularly review progress to ensure you are getting the most effective treatment possible.
