Dr. James Levy, PsyD

Psychotherapist
32 Un Sq E, Ste 1100 & Ste 510, New York, NY
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.

In-network insurances

Dr. James Levy has 100+ in-network plans.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $200 for 50 minutes
Ongoing session: $200 for 50 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork

More information on payments and coverage

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can submit claims for you to be reimbursed or provide you with a superbill. If you are unsure about your insurance coverage, I am also happy to assist you with insurance eligibility questions and to help you understand your benefits before getting started.
