Getting to know Dr. Sara Taxman
My name is Sara Taxman and I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School and completed my American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited pre-doctoral residency at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital with a focus in children, adolescents, and families. Following internship, I completed my post-doctoral fellowship at The Family Institute at Northwestern University on the Mindfulness and Behavioral Therapies Team. I have extensive experience with youth and families across multiple treatment settings including therapeutic day and boarding schools, residential treatment centers, outpatient psychiatric clinics, and inpatient psychiatric hospitals.
Currently, I am working at Rosewatter Chicagoland Counseling providing psychotherapy to youth, young adults, and families with emotion regulation difficulties, eating disorders, trauma, addiction, suicidality, and self-injurious behaviors. I have comprehensive training and experience using numerous evidence-based therapies, including dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In addition to therapy, I am also excited to work as an adjunct professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and honing my skills in psychological and neuropsychological assessment.
My primary goal is to provide behaviorally driven therapeutic care to clinically and culturally diverse adolescents and young adults. I want to support my clients and their families and help them implement the skills and perspectives they acquire in therapy in their lives outside of the therapy room. In my free time, I love to play pickleball, practice yoga, and travel. I also love Taylor Swift and the Dave Matthews Band!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Appointments scheduled through ZocDoc are for Brandon Less, M.A. and Ashley Levenson, M.A. Ashley and Brandon are doctoral students who have completed their master's degrees and have years of experience providing clinical services. I supervise Ms. Levenson and Mr. Less and have full confidence in their skills and abilities.
My name is Ashley Levenson and I am a PsyD student working towards my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School. I work with individuals across the lifespan in a variety of settings, with an emphasis on adults. My approach to therapy is primarily cognitive-behavioral, using evidence-based interventions to help clients reach their therapeutic goals. I strive to create a collaborative and comfortable environment, where clients feel open to express themselves and empowered to participate in shared decision-making for treatment. While I am trained in a wide variety of clinical concerns and populations, I especially enjoy working with adults on issues related to anxiety, OCD, disordered eating, body image, women’s issues, and health- and illness-related concerns.
My name is Brandon Less. I hold a Masters in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School and am currently working towards my Psy.D. I've provided psychotherapy and assessment services to youth and young adults in community mental health, medical clinics, and outpatient psychiatric settings. My therapy style is warm, curious, and relational. I take a humanistic approach to understand all the "parts" that makeup who you are. I often think of therapy through musical terms: together, we explore the combinations of rhythm, melody, and lyrics that define your authentic self. I believe we are born with an inherent sense of worth and an instinctive tendency to follow our own tune and tempo. When our needs and traits feel "out of sync" with caregivers, friends, and society at large, we learn to judge, withhold, or alter parts of ourselves, leading to suffering and disconnection.

I’m sure it’s a great practice - unfortunately I scheduled an appointment and never received an email invite, called the practice and left a message and never heard back.
