WELCOME TO MINNA LEVENKRON'S SITE

I am a Clinical Social Worker in Rochester, NY with a private psychotherapy practice since 1989. I provide counseling services to adults and older adolescent. Currently, I am only seeing clients via tele-health. I primarily work with clients who identify psychological difficulties they are dealing with currently or have been dealing with for many years.

​

My approach to psychotherapy is a combination of various orientations, using Family Systems and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Family Systems theory primarily assumes that many current problematic behaviors are attributes to early family experiences that have continued into adulthood. Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on helping someone change troubling emotions, thoughts or behaviors.

​

The focus of treatment using a Family Systems approach may be something that either affected everyone in a family, such as divorce, or individual concerns, such an individual family member's mental illness, physical, or emotional problems. The emphasis is on understanding how family patterns may shape individual and group experiences. This also examines how family patterns of one generation may repeat of be affected by the next generation. Clients identify themselves as being anxious or depressed. Others believe they are experience obsessive-compulsive disorders or trauma triggered fears.
