Carrie Levinson, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Carrie!

I work primarily with patients facing chronic or terminal medical conditions and their caregivers, providing support through grief, loss, and the emotional toll of illness. I also support parents and caregivers in foster care and adoptive settings, especially those caring for children with trauma, loss, or neurodivergence.

My focus

I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, chronic or terminal medical conditions, caregiver burnout, aging, grief, anticipatory grief, and parents of neurodivergent children.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, supportive, and strength-based. I draw from CBT and mindfulness to help you build tools that fit your life. We'll work together to explore what matters most to you and create meaningful change.

My communication style

I create a warm, supportive atmosphere where you can be yourself. I'm friendly, encouraging, and down to earth, and I value open, honest communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

My work in hospice allowed me to walk alongside patients and families through some of life's hardest moments. I've also navigated parenting neurodivergent children and the foster and adoptive system personally. I believe we all deserve a space to be truly honest and learn tools to thrive.

My goals for you

Goal setting is always done together. We will explore a client's values and beliefs, and create goals that feel approachable and meaningful to the client.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy and what kind of support you're looking for. We'll review your intake information and questionnaires, and I'll encourage you to ask any questions about therapy and how I can best support you.
