Meet The Founder
Dr. Yedidya Levy
For nearly a decade, I've worked on developing expertise and honing my craft as a clinician specialized in men's issues. Men tend to have a unique experience of the world and a complex relationship with mental health. As a licensed psychologist trained in various modalities of psychotherapy, I've repeatedly witnessed the transformative power of insight, and the therapeutic relationship, even when it feels all hope is lost. I am the assistant director of the college counseling center at Yeshiva University, and have worked extensively with adult men of all ages, and from all walks of life. I believe psychotherapy is a bespoke process, one in which the care and roadmap to change is highly individualized. Through this exploration, we'll identify the patterns contributing to your current distress. We will develop insight into the ways these patterns are maintained, and we will effectively intervene to create lasting change. Reach out for a consultation today to begin the process of living a freer and lighter existence.

As a licensed therapist, I am committed to creating a space where clients can show up authentically and connect with their deepest selves. I will meet you where you are and share valuable skills to help you navigate your emotional reality. My approach integrates IFS, CBT, trauma-informed care, psychodynamic principles, and somatic work. I believe that no one is ever truly stuck—and that growth is always within reach. I look forward to partnering with you to help create the life you deserve. I began my career working with adolescents facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, body image concerns, communication struggles, complex family trauma, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. I developed individualized treatment plans using the best evidence-based practices to help clients self-actualize and achieve success. At Alloy Psychotherapy, I am committed to investing my skills and training to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and goals.

FAQ
What should I look for in choosing a therapist? Trust, rapport, and feeling seen are crucial aspects of effective psychotherapy. The key is to find a therapist who can understand your experience, who reciprocates respect, and with whom you feel capable of discussing personal aspects of your life.
What type of therapy modality would be best suited for me? At Alloy, our clinicians are trained with a specialized emphasis on either Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Psychodynamic Therapy. However, all of our clinicians tailor the treatment to the clients's needs, integrating aspects of various modalities for a personalized psychotherapy experience.
Will my therapist prescribe medication? Psychotherapy is an intervention that is distinct from medication and medication management. If you and your therapist are considering medication, it would involve a separate consultation with a referred prescriber.
What should I expect from a first session? You can expect to explore your reasons for seeking therapy, your personal history, and your treatment goals. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about what the therapy process might look like.
How will therapy help me? Therapy can help by providing a space to explore and understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and how important events from the past might be informing the patterns in your life today. Over a period of time, increased self-awareness and insight often translates to personal change. Therapy also offers personalized strategies and tools to manage stress, resolve conflicts, and cope with challenges more effectively.
