Ms. Laurie M. Levine

UNENGAGED AND UNPROFESSIONAL  I was a chronically ill wife caring for my terminally ill husband with young adult children in the throes of grief.  After a number of virtual family therapy sessions, I learned that Levine was completely ignoring my emails, outside of scheduling confirmations. She called my intake form a book, 3 paragraphs given the complexity of our situation, and she never read it as I discovered during our last session. She took no responsibility for getting up to speed with a new client. Consequently, our sessions were more that unproductive, they were excruciating painful and caused additional harm to a family already in crisis. She was unprepared and clueless each and every session and her only focus was on billing us. She actually spent the last 10 minutes of our last virtual session (Friday at 4pm) cleaning up her office, putting pens away, reading papers on her desk, and then pushing back her chair to file the papers while I was in utter despair and tears. She was unprofessional and completely unengaged in my family’s crisis. Unfortunately, I did not see the other online reviews on her, like my experience, until it was too late.
