I am Dr. Audrey Levy. I live on a boat, and my private practice hours are available 24/7 by appointment only. I also make house calls. I am experienced in helping my clients deal with issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress Reduction, Loss and Grief Recovery, Substance Abuse, Anger Management and Crisis Counseling. I provide a calm, empathetic, and nurturing environment where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions. My grieving clients experience closure through writing letters to their loved ones who have died. This letter writing is effective for all forms of loss. Reading the letters aloud is very healing as it encourages acceptance, and permits moving on to build a life filled with love and laughter. As a Doctor of Psychology and psychotherapist for 45+ years, I've dealt with my own grief and loss by writing the nonfiction book, "Doggie Wisdom for Humans: Advice from Dogs for Humans of All Ages," and an autobiographical fiction series, "The Adventures of the Angel Oleo." I hope you have an opportunity to read my books and that I get to help you.

Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision. Therapy is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s also about personal growth. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Professional, Internationally Certified Drug Counselor, and Behavior Analyst. I take a strength-based approach, helping you use your unique abilities to address challenges. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to empower you in creating lasting change. Most importantly, I bring a relaxed, compassionate, and trustworthy presence, fostering a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported.

Have you found yourself wondering, “What is going on, and how do I make things better?” Whether you’re concerned about your child, navigating the challenges of adolescence, or facing difficulties in your own life, you may be wondering if it’s time to talk to someone who can help. Often, we feel we should be able to figure things out or manage life’s challenges on our own. But working with a skilled mental health professional can make all the difference. Therapy offers more than a space to talk; it provides the guidance, expertise, and supportive therapeutic relationship needed to navigate difficult experiences, understand complex emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change. I enjoy getting to know each person as a unique individual and tailoring my approach to their needs. With children and adolescents, I focus on fostering self-esteem, strengthening emotional regulation, and helping them understand and express their feelings in healthier ways which improves behavior and relationships. With adults, I help uncover underlying patterns and experiences that may contribute to relationship difficulties and emotional distress. Across all ages, I work to help clients develop greater self-understanding, build on their inherent capacity for growth, and experience a more fulfilling life.

Life Transitions
Do you feel like you’re running on empty, constantly asking yourself, “Why does everyday life feel so exhausting, and why can’t I just get it together?” When the gap between where you are and where you want to be widens, it’s easy to slip into self-doubt, burnout, and the nagging sense that you’re falling short of your potential. Navigating a major life transition—like stepping into parenthood, managing a career pivot, or moving through a divorce—can shake your foundation and push your bandwidth past its limit. When your mind feels constantly overloaded, daily tasks can start to feel like impossible mountains. Here is what you need to know: you are not broken, and you are not failing. My approach is warm, deeply collaborative, and grounded in real life. I don’t sit back and nod in silence while you drown in the overwhelm. Instead, we look directly at the areas where you feel like you’re hitting a wall. Together, we roll up our sleeves to lower that wall, breaking big hurdles into small, manageable steps that actually fit the way your mind works. There is zero room for shame or judgment here. You don’t have to put on a front, apologize for losing your train of thought, or pretend you have everything figured out. This is a supportive space to bring the messy, unfinished drafts of your life, rebuild your self-trust, and find steady ground on your own terms. Ready to stop fighting yourself and start making real progress? Reach out today to schedule an appointment.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes that therapy is about more than working through challenges - it’s about getting to know yourself, understanding your patterns, and creating a life and relationships that feel more fulfilling. My experience in school-based and community mental health has given me the opportunity to work with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families navigating everything from anxiety and self-esteem struggles to emotional regulation, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a little bit of humor into the therapy room, while also making space for the harder conversations and the moments that challenge us to grow. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you make sense of your experiences, recognize your strengths, and explore new ways of moving forward. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating, overly clinical, or like you need to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. You can show up feeling overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain, or simply ready for something to change. My hope is that you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as we work together to help you build a stronger relationship with yourself and the people around you.

Warm greetings, I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I feel strongly that each of us deserves a space where we can feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted for who we are. Originally from the beautiful island of Saipan in Micronesia, and having spent many years living in Hawaiʻi, my own journey as a third-culture kid has shaped the way I see the world and connect with others.

Hi, Hola! My name is Patricia Leon, and I am a Spanish/English Bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Are your children struggling to manage their emotions? Are behavioral concerns affecting their performance at school, friendships, or relationships with others? Are you experiencing challenges with parenting or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life? If so, I may be able to help. I believe that everyone encounters challenges and struggles throughout life that can sometimes feel overwhelming and impact overall well-being. My goal is to support individuals and families in developing healthier coping strategies, strengthening emotional regulation, building resilience, and navigating life’s challenges within a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from a variety of modalities and interventions. I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, with an emphasis on personal growth, healing, and meaningful change. Whether you or your family are navigating emotional, behavioral, relational, or life-transition challenges, you do not have to face them alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward greater emotional well-being and resilience.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I believe therapy is an opportunity to better understand yourself, explore the experiences that have shaped you, and create meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and directive when helpful. I value honesty, kindness, and genuine connection. I’ll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and offer insight and guidance to help you recognize patterns, gain new perspectives, and explore new ways of responding to life’s challenges. I draw from several evidence-based and insight-oriented approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) Parts Work, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I tailor our work to your unique experiences and goals, helping you understand how past experiences and relationships may influence your present thoughts, emotions, and connections with others. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or uncertain about what comes next. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. My goal is to help you feel understood while also encouraging self-reflection, new perspectives, and meaningful growth. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life. One detail I’d keep is the phrase “help you feel understood while also encouraging self-reflection.” It captures the balance you’ve described between being compassionate and kind while also being honest, thoughtful, and directive when it benefits the client.

I began working in mental health 23 years ago and have worked in community-based therapy, lockdown facilities, in-home therapy, and different schools. I have found over time that the most rewarding factor of doing this work is giving people comfort and support, not only solutions. No matter what type of therapy the client prefers, the environment is based individually on the client. I do not press the pace of the session. Normally, there's a check, but other than that, it depends on the pace the client feels comfortable with for that session.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and I have experience with children, adults, couples, and families in a therapeutic capacity. I specialize in trauma and family therapy. I describe my approach as compassionate, grounded, and I enjoy using active listening. While working with you, I hold the knowing and belief that each of us are naturally moving toward health and healing. We are all born with an innate and inherent wholeness that can often get lost in our culture or from traumas where help was not available at that time. I hold a heartfelt and safe space for the natural healing process.

My approach is compassionate yet direct, down-to-earth, and tailored to you.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
