Approach

​

Dr. Levy works with a small number of individuals and couples so the therapy is can be focused, responsive, and useful. This allows for continuity and attention that’s often harder to maintain in busier practices.   As a a former treatment outcome researcher at New York Presbyterian, Dr. Levy is an expert in a wide range of treatment approaches and often uses more than one to help you reach your goals.  This differs from other clinicians who may treat most of their clients using a single modality. 

Dr. Levy's approach is respectful, warm, and compassionate.  She understands that therapy is a place where people often are at their most vulnerable, sharing some of their deepest thoughts and feelings, and thus treats each individual or couple with extraordinary care. 

Many of the people she works with are high-functioning in their work, career or school, but others have symptoms that have severely impacted them in at least one area. Dr. Levy has expertise in effectively treating individuals with anxiety, depression, OCD, eating, and substance-use disorders, those experiencing a major life change, and couples or families who are struggling.   She notices strengths as well as difficulties and will often notes them and harbors them to help you in solving a problem or reducing suffering. Her focus is on helping you make meaningful change and not keeping you in treatment longer than you need to be.  

All services are provided via secure telehealth throughout New York State.
