Eric Levine

Eric Levine approaches therapy by first striving to understand each person’s perspective and then asking thoughtful questions that clarify how they view their world. He consistently listens without judgment, offers sincere empathy, highlights and validates strengths, engages in collaborative problem solving, and does not shy away from light humor when it helps a session move forward.

With 14 years of experience in the counseling field, he holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from UCLA and practices as a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State. He typically prefers in-person work but recognizes the value of remote care; when clients choose phone sessions he emphasizes the conversational nuance that spoken exchanges allow - inflection, tone, and the chance to quickly resolve misunderstandings. He has noted that clients have found his voice calm and pleasant, a trait he traces to his father’s background in broadcasting.

Workplace and career concerns are a primary focus in his practice. He helps people who want to remain in their current job despite its difficulties, those who are deciding to leave and need a plan to prepare, and individuals exploring new career or educational directions - all while acknowledging the emotions those decisions bring. Relationship difficulties are also a common area of work, often linked to career stress or other life transitions. Many clients begin simply by talking through what feels overwhelming, then take small steps that brighten their outlook and lead to better outcomes over time.

After a lengthy career in education and counseling programs, he aims to return to a role similar to one he held in a university setting, where he worked individually with students, staff, and administrators across age ranges. He values the openness that emerges in those settings and the compelling life stories he has been privileged to hear.

Although many providers limit sessions to 30-45 minutes, he is available for longer appointments of 55 to 60 minutes when needed, offering extra time for deeper conversation and collaborative planning.
