About Bradley Levine, LMSW

Meet Bradley (he/him)
Are you a teenager or adult seeking a therapist in New York who can help you work through challenges while feeling fully supported? I specialize in guiding clients like you to better understand and express your emotions, break free from unhelpful habits, and build a more balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, or big life changes, I’m here to provide a compassionate space to explore your feelings and create a path forward. I have a particular interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community, ambitions professionals, artists/entertainers, & the Jewish community.
My Approach
As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I work with clients who experience struggles like panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, relationship difficulties, and performance anxiety.
Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and emotions that are holding you back, so you can develop the tools to manage stress, feel more connected to others, and boost your self-esteem
Specialties & Areas of Focus
-
Anxiety and panic attacks can feel overwhelming, leaving you paralyzed by fear. I provide coping strategies to help you manage symptoms, understand triggers, and regain control over your mind and body.
-
OCD is more than just perfectionism or cleanliness—it’s a cycle of distressing thoughts and compulsions. I offer specialized support to break the cycle and help you feel more at ease in your daily life.
-
Depression and stress can make it hard to find joy or balance. I help you uncover the root causes and develop strategies to manage both, so you can restore your sense of purpose and well-being.
-
As someone who understands the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, I offer an affirming space to explore your identity, navigate struggles, and celebrate your journey toward self-acceptance.
-
Creatives often face unique pressures, from performance anxiety to career uncertainty. I provide a space where you can explore the emotional and mental health challenges that come with a life in the arts.
-
Navigating big life changes or relationship dynamics can be overwhelming. I offer support as you work through these shifts, helping you develop resilience and find healthy ways to adapt and thrive.

Qualifications & Background
I hold a Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service. My professional background includes working with the Institute for Human Identity (IHI), the first and longest-running non-profit providing LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy. I've also served as a crisis counselor for the National Sexual Assault Hotline. In addition to my private practice, I’m passionate about bridging mental health and the arts as a theatrical mental health consultant and advocate against antisemitism through the NASW-NY. Outside of therapy, you’ll find me enjoying theater, film, design, art, and skiing—despite my fear of heights!
