About me

After earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment, I began to work with clients who were recovering from opioid abuse and co-occurring disorders. This gave me the unique capacity to help clients not only with addiction, but also trauma, stress, depression, low self-confidence, guilt & shame, anger, and anxiety among many other issues. In addition to general counseling services, I am seasoned in working with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, Internet, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.

I have worked with many clients in the LGBTQIA community and value diversity for others and myself. I have the knowledge and skills to work with clients who struggle with sexual identity and help emotionally work through many issues that arise as a result of sexual trauma, grief or dysfunction. I also work with many clients who open and/or non-monogamous relationships. I believe that acceptance and empowerment is the foundation of this work.

I use my accumulated skills to help you identify what is holding you back and how your past helps you identify your strengths to achieve the life you want. I can use a variety of approaches to fit your needs.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Linda 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.

Linda is an easy to talk to therapist. I can see her expertise in the manner she speaks with me when we have our conversations. It's always a good feeling when I ask her if she remembers when I told her a story and she says yes, it's always great because I know she's been engaging since day one. She almost always feels like a sister to talk to and I'm comfortable telling her everything that I feel and every situation that's happened. And not always bad ones, but even good ones to share. Or even big stages that I was able to conquer because of her help and I wanna share with her that she was a part of it and made it possible. :)
