Cormac Ryder Levenson is a compassionate pastoral counselor and therapist, holding an MDiv and BCC credential. With a background as a hospital chaplain and a Zen Buddhist who received lay ordination in 2007, he brings a rich tapestry of experience to his spiritual counseling practice. Cormac's mission is to support individuals in their journey to live from their deepest, most authentic selves. He understands that the path to authenticity can be challenging, particularly when it comes to balancing personal values with the demands of culture, career, and family. Cormac believes that during transitional phases, it is essential to have support, reflection, and encouragement to remain true to one’s core identity. He tailors his methodologies to meet the unique needs of each client, recognizing that while some individuals benefit from critical feedback, others thrive on unconditional support. Starting with a covenant, he collaboratively establishes the goals for their work together. At the heart of his approach lies a commitment to asking profound questions designed to help individuals clarify and prioritize what matters most to them. Together with Cormac, clients will explore potential discrepancies between their functional operating beliefs and their desired beliefs, facilitating meaningful personal growth.
