About me
Hello and Welcome,
My name is Debbie and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist with 25 years experience working as a therapist. I have provided counseling to individuals, couples, adolescents, and families since 1995. I provide therapy for Adult Children of Alcoholics/Dysfunctional families, blended families, codependency, communication problems, depression/anxiety, family counseling, couples/marital counseling, infidelity, parenting issues, self-esteem and stress management.
I am an active, directive, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused therapist who has worked successfully with diverse cultures, ethnicities, and religions.
I have worked in schools, psychiatric hospitals (inpatient and outpatient) and in the social service arena with foster care, family reunification and child abuse.
I have worked extensively in private practice.
I am down to earth, genuine and frank. I will challenge you, assign homework and suggest YouTube videos, Ted Talks, articles and books and workbooks.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deborah Levinson. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Deborah has helped me understand myself more. She has helped me with my anxiety and depression. She is very open-minded and makes sure to listen to important details. I'm grateful to have her.
I met with Deborah for just under a year and this was my first experience with therapy. Overall I am very grateful for speaking to Deborah during this time. She provided guidance, compassion and also was not afraid to let me know when my behaviours could in fact be damaging myself. I'd certainly recommend Deborah.
She was quick to respond and attentive. Only one session so far but I look forward to more.
We are so grateful for Deborah's help, we are all working towards solutions together as a family and we couldn't do it without her. Thank you Deborah :).
Deborah is very understanding and caring. She takes the time to help me reflect on why I do certain things. She provides videos and articles that are helpful to the situation you’re going through. She definitely cares about her patients. She is very honest and sees all sides of a situation. She’s a great therapist.
She’s been great so far
She really takes the time to listen and analyze the situations she she exposed to. A client’s point of view is always important to her.
The help and professionalism from Deborah, is exceptional. I was in a very low place before reaching out to Better Help. Deborah helped me open up and slowly worked on my PTSD condition in a positive guidance way.
