Clinical psychology is a broad branch of psychology that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Some of the more common disorders that might be treated include mood disorders like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, in addition to trauma influenced problems such as personality disorders and behavioral difficulties like eating disorders. Licensed clinical psychologists meet with patients to identify problems – emotional, mental, and behavioral – occurring within their lives. Through observation, interviews, and psychological tests, they aim to diagnose any existing disorders or difficulties for their patients.
In 2018 and 2019, Dr. Levy was named one of the Best Psychologists in Pennsylvania by Top Doctor. To receive this honor, she was nominated and chosen by patients and other top specialists across the United States because of her experience and expertise in the field of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety and OCD.
