Rebecca Levenson-Smith, MD, LCPC

Rebecca Levenson-Smith is a Maryland-based clinician with 11 years of professional experience who brings a blend of clinical training and practical community work to her practice. She holds an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), and she draws on that combined background to support clients across a wide range of concerns.

Before becoming a therapist she taught high school students with emotional and behavioral disorders and she also has a background in art, which informs a creative and person-centered approach. Her community mental health experience spans school-based programs, in-home care, office settings, and telehealth, and she has worked with children, adolescents, families, couples, groups, and individual adults from diverse backgrounds with many different diagnoses.

She has clinical experience helping people manage stressful life changes, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief, and psychosis. When working with couples she focuses on repairing trust, improving communication, and strengthening emotional intimacy. Her work is grounded in a psychodynamic perspective while integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and somatic approaches to meet each person where they are.

Rebecca emphasizes collaboration, helping clients gain insight into their symptoms while developing concrete skills to cope, manage, and resolve challenges. She aims to identify and reinforce clients strengths so they can make meaningful changes and move toward their therapeutic goals. She provides services in English and is not currently accepting new clients.
