Thank you for your courage in considering my help. If you do select me to talk with I will be as careful and supportive as possible. My mission is to see the world through your eyes, to pose questions to help clarify how you see that world, and to always be in your corner whatever you decide. What I will do consistently is listen intently without judgment, show sincere empathy, look for and validate strengths, do collaborative problem solving, and even share some humor along the way. I find that these practices help good solutions rise to the top. You may want to take your time to talk things out for any reason. . .or you may want to make quicker decisions and focus on plans to carry them out. I'm comfortable going at your pace. Although 30 to 45 minutes is the "norm" here, if needed I can speak with you for between 55 to 60 minutes. I say that because due to some fortunate circumstances I'm able to focus on fewer people and a good deal of my reward is the connection to the open and honest thoughts and feelings of fellow human beings. My name is Eric Levine. I’m a licensed Counselor based in Washington State having worked 14 years in the field of counseling after earning my Masters specializing in Counseling Psychology at UCLA. Workplace and career issues are two areas of emphasis, helping people who want to stay in their present job with its difficulties, make a decision to leave and how to prepare for it, or even explore a different career and/or educational path--with all the emotions those things can evoke. Relationships, which are so important in general, can be affected by these issues and so many others, so of course we can work on them as well. Many of those with problems that seemed overwhelming began by talking about them and when ready took small steps that in themselves brightened their outlook on the future and eventually led to improved outcomes. Like many counselors my preference is to work with people in person. But since remote counseling has come to the fore (even more so after the pandemic hit) I find the next best mode is talking on the phone which brings with it a sense of focus and "presence," along with inflection, emphasis, feeling tones, humor, and most importantly the ability to immediately clear up any misunderstandings with the sensitivity of the spoken word. In that regard I’ve been told I have a very calm and pleasant voice that I owe to my father, a newscaster whose warm emotionality came right through the radio, even more so to those of us around him. After a fairly long career in education and counseling programs, I seek to return through this venue to a similar position I held in a university setting where I was able to work individually with students, staff, and administrators, young and old. The shared openness involved was something I could never take for granted, the life stories amazing in themselves.

I am a fully licensed professional counselor and have dedicated my last 13 years to helping others overcome so many struggles in their lives. I believe in using solution focused techniques as well as a considerable emphasis on CBT/REBT to help clients with excessive anxiety. I am also a nationally certified adult ADHD counselor, ADHD-CCSP. IMPORTANT: I am a spiritual person, but I am NOT a Christian Based Counselor. I need to put this in here clearly as I often get matched with people looking specifically for that, and they are often disappointed. I am a big believer in helping my people learn and grow, so THEY can overcome their obstacles. Most of my clients see substantial gains in the first month or two. I am also a firm believer in teaching core mental health principles and then helping my people utilize that knowledge to tackle their underlying problems, I'm not a “just sit and question” kind of counselor. A little about me: I started my helping journey in 2003, at 28 years old, when I went to Arkansas State University. I received a degree in psychology and went out to work in the mental health community. I loved my work and decided to go back. I graduated with my Ed.S. in mental health counseling in 2011 and have been helping as a licensed counselor since 2012, and love my work. Thanks for reading and if you think we are a fit, I look forward to talking to you very soon. :-)

Life events sometimes throw us curve balls when we least expect it. Do you now or often experience anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, or the possibility of ending a relationship? These are stressors that give us feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness, impacting your ability to function in relationships, occupation, social life, and obtaining educational goals. Does it seem as though you've been knocked down once too many times and getting up is a struggle? When in the middle of a struggle, words such as "tomorrow" and "feeling better" seem so far away.

WELCOME I hope this is the start of a journey to more self discovery, healing, and increased happiness. If you are reading this, it means you are seeking information about talking to a professional and I think that is a wonderful first start. Life is challenging, often overwhelming, but know that you are not alone as you search for comfort from suffering, anxiety, or indecision. My goal is to create a space where we can work together to find answers and support. My professional aim is to help you thrive in an area that addresses your needs with compassionate guidance and practical solutions. Of course, friends and family may offer invaluable support, but they may not be equipped to help you effectively navigate life’s complexities. Everyone needs a close listening ear and help navigating pathways that can lessen worries and provide clarity on how to move forward. As a team, we will promote self discovery and work through blockages. I want you to know that there is no shame in the need to talk to a therapist.

It is important to have someone who understands the emotional weight of hardship and can offer tools to get through whatever obstacles. It is never too late to make positive changes and start the healing process towards reconstructing the next chapter of your life. Regardless of age or stage in life, there is always room for growth, perspective, and the development of healthy coping skills. While sometimes life seems hopeless and we feel inadequate, our past does not have to predict our future. As a compassionate and seasoned therapist, I guarantee that we can make progress- step by step, if you are willing to do the work. Choosing DeFranco Counseling means entering into a non-judgmental, supportive environment where self-exploration and evolution are encouraged. Together, we can work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
