Eric Levine, LMHC

Eric Levine is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington who brings 14 years of professional counseling experience and a Masters in Counseling Psychology from UCLA. He approaches work with care and support, aiming to understand each person by seeing the world from their perspective, asking clarifying questions, and standing alongside them as they make choices.

He consistently listens without judgment, offers sincere empathy, looks for and validates strengths, and engages in collaborative problem solving, with a readiness to share appropriate humor when it helps. These practices are intended to help practical solutions surface and to make change feel more manageable.

Eric concentrates on workplace and career concerns, helping clients weigh whether to stay in a current job, prepare to leave, or explore alternative career or educational paths and the emotions those choices can bring. He also works with relationship issues, and supports people who begin by talking through what feels overwhelming and then take small steps that improve outlook and outcomes.

While his preference is for in-person work, he finds phone conversations offer strong focus and presence through tone and inflection, and he is able to be flexible about session length - typically 30 to 45 minutes, with the option for 55 to 60 minute conversations when needed. After a long career in education and counseling programs, he seeks to recreate the close, individual work he once did in a university setting, valuing the openness and life stories clients bring.
