Chelsea Levy
Psy.D Clinical Psychologist
Individual Psychotherapy, Couples Therapy and Sex Therapy
About
I am a licensed psychologist providing adult psychotherapy, couples therapy, sex therapy and family therapy. I approach therapy from a relational perspective, and enjoy working collaboratively with clients and their strengths to create change. I am particularly interested in working with clients around family of origin issues, relationship issues, trauma, sexual relationships and sexuality. I work with couples on communication, strengthening relational dynamics and sexual or intimacy concerns. I also work as a sex therapist and am open to working using an open and mindful approach whether you come as a couple or as an individual. I also work with people experiencing depression, stress, anxiety or grief.
​​​
I earned my Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from William James College in Newton, MA after first earning a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. I completed my APA-accredited internship training at Y.O.U. Inc. where I provided individual and family therapy as well as psychological testing and assessment. I also completed an APA-accredited post-doctoral fellowship at Tufts University’s Counseling and Mental Health Services. I have clinical experience in a number of other settings, which include: eating disorder treatment, community mental health centers, an acute-care inpatient residential center for children and a group psychotherapy practice for adults.

Individual Therapy
I will work with your individual needs to provide a therapeutic space for you to explore, meet personal goals and process your feelings and thoughts. I have experience in providing therapy to individuals with presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, family of origin concerns, relationship issues, adjustment to life transitions and trauma
Couples Therapy
I work with couples of all ages and stages in their relationships. I work with couples to increase communication, process difficult relationship concerns or family of origin concerns. I approach couples therapy from a developmental and attachment-based model. I work with partnered couples, married couples, casual partners and the LGBTQIA+ community
Sex Therapy
I work with both individuals, couples and groups in sex therapy. I work with concerns such as sexual discrepancies in relationships, asexuality, sexual pain, sexual trauma and beyond. I will work with you and/or you and a partner(s) to discuss anything related to sex or sexuality in an open and curious way. I also work with CNM, Polyamorous folx, kink, BDSM and beyond.
Group Therapy
Group therapy can be an excellent way to connect to others and explore yourself

My Approach
My therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, and integrative and I tend to approach care with experience in humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, trauma-informed care, psychodynamic models and mindfulness. I believe that it is imperative to work with the specific needs of each individual to help build awareness and connection. I approach therapy with warmth, flexibility, humor and empathy.
