Dr. Steven Levey

Dr. Steven Levey helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting strain, and life changes. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, low self-esteem, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the emotional impact of disasters. He works to make sessions practical and grounded so problems feel more manageable.

He uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and real-life strategies that can be tried between meetings. He listens closely to how daily routines, relationships, and work affect mood and behavior, then helps people build coping tools that fit their lives.

With 22 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, Dr. Levey draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. He leans on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and brings mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity and improve attention.

People often come for help after big life changes, during periods of loss, or when stress becomes overwhelming. He supports people who are managing divorce and separation, caregiver strain, abandonment fears, isolation, and issues like jealousy, commitment worries, and forgiveness.

Dr. Levey practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets priorities and he offers guidance, feedback, and practical exercises to move toward those goals.
