Substance Use Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
I have experience working in both eating disorder and substance use facilities as well as with sexual assault.
I help women find balance in their life without having to sacrifice the things they love most. My clients feel overwhelmed and tired of feeling like they can’t manage their life. Life feels chaotic making it difficult to be present in each area of their life. My clients are under constant pressure to put on a smile and present themselves like they have it all together.

Midwest Institute for Addiction
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSW, LMSW, PhD, MD
Saint Louis, MO 63141
Any St. Louis rehabilitation center can provide treatment; MIA provides the difference. There are many drug rehab centers, but few of these rehab centers compare to Midwest Institute for Addiction's programs. This differentiation goes beyond our comprehensive, individualized, and evidence based treatment model and focuses on the quality of services that we offer. There is a lack of separation in the minds of professional service providers when considering the difference between a product offered and the service that coincides with that product. The MIA difference is the ability to offer quality services that coincide with our quality treatment.

As a first responder or veteran, your life is defined by being there for everyone else on their worst days. But what happens when the calls start staying with you? When the hypervigilance doesn’t turn off just because you’ve clocked out? Or when the "dark humor" and "toughing it out" aren't enough to keep the intrusive memories at bay? You might find yourself avoiding certain places, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling with a temper that isn’t "you." Maybe you’re worried that if you speak up, people will think you can’t handle the job.

"Life is difficult." That's a Scott Peck quote. Healing begins just by embracing this quote. Three simple words, but on a bad day, very true, right? Sunny days seem inaccessible. You've already taken the first step, which is realizing that the listening ear of a therapist just might be helpful. After graduating from Boston U, my emphasis became adolescents, family relationships, and women's issues. This is my practice emphasis, but my door is open to all who are interested in growth and self-reflection.

Your childhood didn’t provide the instruction manual you needed for life. You coped as best you could & yet you question your decisions when it comes to partnering, parenting, or leading. Your mind is constantly active, your heart is braced or bruised, & your spirit & body are MIA. You rumble with angst, doubt, & anxiety. Your capacity isn’t keeping up with your desire or demands. You go deep, are “highly sensitive”, creative, or gifted, yet your strengths are overlooked & your differences are not seen or supported. You need TLC for your wounds, ways to address your unmet needs, & skills to grow your capacity.

My approach is to help my patients both resolve the issues they bring to my office and help them become more able to prevent or minimize the recurrence of these issues. And, often what people can not see in themselves defeats their genuine attempts to change their lives. My strengths are helping people both see and deal with what really gets in the way of their achieving substantial change. The mind/emotions are often like icebergs- only a small amount is above water to be seen-yet much is unseen and can lead to great damage( a failure to change).

Hey! I’m Levi. I invite you to take a moment in your search to exhale with me. I appreciate you finding your way to me today. What’s more, I appreciate the world you exist in right now. No matter your stage of life, or which part(s) of your internal and external worlds you want to discuss, I will arrive in gentle kindness to strategize with you toward digestible approaches to life problems.
