Eric Levine, LMHC

Eric Levine is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 14 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career transitions, and life changes. He works from a stance of careful listening and genuine empathy, asking thoughtful questions to help clients clarify how they see their world while validating strengths and collaborating on practical solutions. Humor and human connection are part of his work, and he aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental presence in support of each person’s choices.

He is comfortable moving at a client’s pace - whether that means spending time talking things through or focusing on faster decision-making and action planning. Sessions commonly run 30 to 45 minutes, and when needed he can offer longer 55 to 60 minute appointments. Having earned a master’s degree specializing in Counseling Psychology at UCLA, he brings a background in education and university counseling to his practice and values working individually with people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds.

Eric emphasizes workplace and career concerns - from staying in a difficult job to preparing to leave or exploring new educational and vocational paths - as well as the relationship issues that often intersect with those decisions. He also supports parenting, self-esteem, coping with divorce or separation, communication problems, life purpose questions, and general coping skills. Although he prefers in-person work, he finds phone and remote sessions to provide a focused, present mode of communication that preserves tone, inflection, and immediate clarification, and he continues to offer these options to those he works with.
