Philosophy:
Dr. Levy is a cognitive behavioral and biofeedback therapist. His clinical approach is evidence-based.
Anxiety and depression are treated using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), based on research showing effectiveness in treating episodes and preventing relapse. Panic attack, PTSD, phobias, bipolar depression and personality disorders are treated with CBT methods tailored to the presenting problem.
Stress-related health disorders are treated with biofeedback, based on studies showing effectiveness in targeting autonomic imbalances observed in patients with headache, IBS, fibromyalgia, hypertension, Raynaud's Disease.
Child and adolescent anxiety are treated using a cognitive behavioral therapy called Coping Cat (for younger children) and C.A.T. Project (for teens), based on studies showing effectiveness in reducing anxiety in children.
Distressed couples are treated with an emprically based therapy shown to improve relationships called Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
