Levine Psychotherapy · Experienced Therapy. Wherever You Are in New York.
Experienced, Compassionate Therapy — Wherever You Are in New York.
Online psychotherapy for adults throughout New York State. NYSHIP Empire Plan members welcome, with assistance navigating out-of-network benefits.
My approach
Thoughtful, practical therapy built around you.
Reaching out to a therapist often comes after a long stretch of carrying things on your own. Therapy with me is a steady, confidential space to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and decide what you want to be different.
I work collaboratively and directly. Together we clarify your goals, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and build practical skills for managing stress, emotions, and relationships. Our work is individualized and evidence-informed — grounded in sound clinical practice and shaped by what actually helps you.
For NYSHIP Empire Plan members
State employees, retirees, and families: your out-of-network benefits may help.
Many NYSHIP Empire Plan members have out-of-network behavioral health benefits that can partially reimburse the cost of therapy. I am an out-of-network provider, and my practice works with a professional billing service to help you verify benefits and submit claims — so you can focus on therapy rather than paperwork.
