Carol A. Levine

Are you anxious in relationships? Do you fear disapproval and/or lack motivation? I get it! I enjoy facilitating client change by first identifying the fixed thoughts and assumptions that interfere with fulfillment. Life is challenging, and what we say to ourselves can make coping difficult. Childhood experiences powerfully impact our self-statements, so you won't leave our sessions without exploring your youth - - who loved you, who didn't, and how you now cope and react. Finding personal meaning is also so important! My approaches are tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual or couple, as collaboration is essential. I work with women and men who are experiencing struggles in marriage, divorce, parenting, stress-management, dating, grief and workplace conflict. And if you fear social judgement, I will help you! Therapy aims to increase personal insight, self-awareness and self-compassion. Self-discovery and healing are at the heart of every therapeutic relationship. Additionally, how we self-nurture plays a crucial role in how we cope with life's ups and downs. The counseling experience will be a guided process whereby I take an active part in providing direct, insight-oriented feedback to you. Mutual respect facilitates a journey of searching your upbringing for answers to self-defeating patterns and relationships!
