Hi my name is I’Asiah Levi and I am a mental health therapist, social worker and advocate. My goal is to help you get to the root of uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and behaviors. As an advocate for mental health, and throughout my experiences working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and ages, I’ve learned the importance of active and empathic listening. Often, we want our voices to be heard, and our feelings to be validated and that isn’t too much to ask for.

Have you ever had these thoughts? I don’t feel heard. I don’t feel seen. I am exhausted. I feel like I can’t take a break. I feel like everyone is relying on me. I’m just tired. Does these questions sound familiar? Perhaps, this is you. You've been holding multiple positions of mom, trusted friend, daughter, wife and sister. But, honestly, when do you have time for you? When do you get to take your cape off and just be you? Do you even recognize who are you when you look into the mirror? Or, have you been running on fumes and just don't have the time to even notice?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
