Joseph Levenstein, PhD, is a compassionate psychologist who understands the discomfort individuals feel when they first come to therapy. Adults and elders often find themselves grappling with emotions such as depression, anxiety, and anger. Joseph believes that the origins of these feelings often stem from one's self-perception and coping mechanisms. His therapeutic approach is centered on helping individuals adopt new ways of thinking and behaving, empowering them to navigate life's challenges more effectively. recognizing that the process of change can evoke fear, Joseph emphasizes that reading self-help books may only provide information, not the support needed to confront and overcome their fears. He is committed to fostering a strong therapeutic relationship while guiding clients toward viable alternatives to their struggles. Although medications may aid this journey, they are not essential; Joseph maintains connections with several local psychiatrists for those who may require that additional support. With expertise in various therapy styles, including Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), he offers a tailored, empathetic approach to each individual's unique situation.
