About Me

Joy Levine, LMHC

Hey there! I'm Joy Levine, a passionate advocate for neurodivergent adults. With over a decade of experience in counseling, I'm dedicated to empowering individuals to thrive in a world that doesn't always understand their unique strengths.

I'm honored to share a bit of my story with you. Growing up, I felt like I viewed the world through a slightly different lens than those around me. It wasn't until later that I discovered I was neurodivergent myself. Through my journey of self-discovery and acceptance, I came to understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with being neurodivergent. This personal revelation ignited my passion for helping others navigate similar paths.

As a therapist, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my practice. I know firsthand the importance of feeling seen, heard, and understood, and I'm deeply committed to providing that support to each of my clients. My approach is all about fostering a supportive environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Let's work together to unlock your potential and create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of California, San Diego, specializing in working with neurodivergent populations. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in California, I have undergone extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I'm deeply committed to ongoing professional development and have pursued additional training in executive functioning coaching, sensory processing interventions, and trauma-informed care. With my comprehensive understanding of neurodivergence and clinical expertise, I am dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care and support as you navigate your journey towards healing and personal growth.
