Ashley Levenson, MA

My name is Ashley Levenson, M.A. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan and my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School. Currently, I am a PsyD student at working towards obtaining my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan, with an emphasis on adults. Throughout my training, I have gained experience in individual therapy, group therapy, and neuropsychological assessment while working in settings including private practice, outpatient clinics, integrated primary care, and medical centers. At Rosewatter Chicagoland Counseling, I am primarily supervised by Dr. Sara Taxman.

My approach to therapy is primarily cognitive-behavioral while incorporating components from other theoretical orientations based on individual client needs. I utilize evidence-based interventions such as ACT, DBT, and cognitive restructuring in order to help clients reach their therapeutic goals and minimize the impact of symptoms on daily life. I strive to create a collaborative and comfortable environment, where clients feel open to expressing themselves as well as empowered to participate in shared decision-making for their treatment. While I am trained in a wide variety of clinical concerns and populations, I especially enjoy working with adults on issues related to anxiety, OCD, disordered eating, body image, women’s issues, and health- and illness- related concerns.

Outside of psychology, I enjoy spending my time doing yoga, going on walks and hikes, singing, trying new restaurants, playing board games, and spending time with friends and family.
