Ruby Levine, MSW, LGSW (she/her/hers)
As the oppression of queer and trans people ramps up, it is important to me to create a caring, healing space for members of our community seeking support. I have an additional focus on work with chronically ill people and people who maintain caution around COVID. I take a health at any size approach. I work primarily with adults over the age of 21.
I will ask you direct, sometimes uncomfortable questions to help reveal new truths to yourself. A therapeutic relationship with me is a practice ground for new ways of relating to people, and I will invite you to try out new skills, including setting and holding boundaries. My work is primarily relational, and I draw from AIR Network, ACT, and inferential behavioral therapy for OCD.
It is important to me that you feel full ownership of your healing journey, which neither starts nor ends with our relationship. We will set, track, and update your treatment goals together, to ensure that therapy stays focused on the things you care about. I will draw on intellectual traditions including disability justice and parts work. When I'm not working, I love to garden, cook, and watch movies.
Specialties: LGBTQ+, abortion, health at any size, chronic pain, COVID, individuals, couples I primarily work with queer and trans adults, and the parents of queer and trans children (who may be queer and/or trans themselves).
