Getting to know Karen Levier
With twenty years of experience as a therapist, I have synthesized my psychotherapy training with music therapy from New York University. This melding brings together the clinical foundations of cognitive behavioral therapy with the mindful use of music, art, and meditation—combining calming, enriching creativity with compassion.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, which further grounds my approach in evidence-based practice and empathy.
I do my work with you from a strengths perspective. The Strengths approach sees the patient as whole, even when they come to sessions feeling broken. Hope and faith are the key ingredients. As a therapist, I am here to help you find within yourself the ability to dance through the rhythms of your life stories.
