Joel Levine, LCSW, LPC, LCADC, LMFT,
SAP, ACS, CCS and Gottman Certified Therapist

Hi, I am Joel!

I began my journey in wanting to help couples after experiencing some very unhealthy relationships in my own life. I grew up in a traditional family where we did not have the opportunity to speak about our feelings or see healthy ways of managing conflict. Growing up in this way set the path for unhealthy relationships. I wanted to be part of the solution. As part of this adventure, I discovered John Gottman’s research on Why Couples Divorce. In reading and learning I discovered there is a better way. I want to share this knowledge with others who find themselves in relationships needing an answer. 

I began my training as a Certified Gottman Therapist, by first training with Dr. John and Dr. Julie Gottman. This was important to me because I wanted to train with the experts themselves. I have since taken all the Levels and workshops they offer as well as have read many of their books to continue my learning journey. Some of the workshops I have been approved to lead are the Art and Science of Love, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, Bringing Baby Home and Lessons in Love. I have recently become a trainer.

I have worked with hundreds of couples, seeing evidence of their healing and success in having an amazing relationship. I have since become Certified as a Certified Gottman Therapist, which is the highest level. I continue my learning and growth by receiving regular supervision from one of their senior trainers, Dr. Robert Navarra, who wrote one of their modules: Couples and Addiction Recovery.

At Levine Health and Wellness, we specialize in working with couples. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I was trained specifically in relational healing. This means my training and coursework was specifically attuned to helping people who want to have healthy relationships. This combined with being a Certified Gottman Therapist means I have the tools to give you to practice both inside and outside of session. These tools will help you build an amazing relationship.

Begin your journey of healing, as I did in my life, seeking out an expert in relationship healing.
