Getting to know Dr. James Levy

In today’s fast paced world, I like to think of psychotherapy as a space to press the pause button, slow down, and think. With everyone I work with, I try to develop a strong therapeutic working alliance defined by empathy and respect as we collaborate to understand the issues at hand. Through listening, in an attentive, thoughtful, non-judgmental manner I will help create a space where we can both reflect on and observe your challenges, coping skills, strengths, and conflicts. We will explore how feelings and behavioral patterns from the past may be influencing your current behavior. Working together, our aim is to help you understand why you feel the way you do currently, noting how past experiences can often influence present concerns. With a client’s willingness, any aspect of their life can be examined together. Therapy, and working collaboratively offers the possibility to live a fuller, less inhibited, encumbered life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Professionally, I earned a doctorate in psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, part of Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Since 2019, I have been an Advanced Candidate in the Adult Psychoanalysis Program at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, (IPTAR). Between completing graduate school and studying at IPTAR, I worked for over fifteen years with people who have psychiatric disabilities, intellectual disabilities and learning disabilities.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

While I work primarily from a psychodynamic point of view, I also have training in other modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. In addition, I have extensive experience working with anxiety and depression, relationship issues, concerns about self-esteem, and family relationships.
