Bill Leavitt MBA, MS, LMFT

Many of the people I work with appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, addiction recovery, or major life transitions.

I specialize in working with adults, professionals, executives, creatives, veterans, and men who want more than temporary symptom relief. They want to understand what is really happening beneath the surface and create meaningful, lasting change.

Before becoming a therapist, I served in the United States Marine Corps and spent more than twenty years in corporate America before entering private practice. Those experiences allow me to connect with clients from many different backgrounds while bringing both practical problem-solving and psychological depth to our work together.

My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, mindfulness, Jungian psychology, depth psychology, Brainspotting, and other evidence-based approaches when appropriate. Rather than forcing every client into one model, we identify what is maintaining the problem and develop a treatment approach that fits you.

Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and interactive. I listen carefully, ask meaningful questions, and work alongside you to help create genuine and lasting change.

My Story

My path to becoming a therapist was not a straight one. I was born and raised in New York City, served twelve years in the United States Marine Corps, spent more than twenty years in corporate America, and later earned my MBA, MS, and LMFT before entering private practice.

Like many of my clients, I have experienced major life transitions, career changes, divorce, economic uncertainty, and my own period of depression.  Those experiences taught me that meaningful change is possible, and they help me understand how overwhelming major life transitions can feel. 

Therapy should be both practical and meaningful. My foundation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I also integrate DBT, Brainspotting, mindfulness, depth psychology, Jungian psychology, and other approaches when they serve the client's goals.  My philosophy is straightforward: understand what is maintaining the problem, then develop a thoughtful, individualized plan that creates lasting change. 

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Every client brings a different history, different strengths, and different goals. Together we'll build an approach that fits you.
