Rebecca Levenson-Smith , MD, LCPC

—About

I'm a MD practising in Maryland, with 11 years of clinical experience.

Before becoming a therapist, I taught high school students with emotional and behavioral disorders.

—How I Work

My clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

I believe it is important for clients to gain insight and understanding of symptoms while working to better cope with, manage, and resolve them, and I collaborate with clients to identify and achieve their therapeutic goals.

I have worked with couples with the goal to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other.

—Who I Help

I work with clients on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.

I have worked with children, adolescents, families, couples, groups, and individual adult clients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of diagnoses, and I have experience working with clients in managing stressful life changes, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and psychosis.
