Levi Rapoport's style

Why Levi Rapoport chose to be in the helping profession

I'm genuinely passionate about my work in therapy. Each client I have the privilege of working with represents a world of untapped possibilities, and I'm wholeheartedly committed to guiding you toward realizing your unique strengths and capabilities. You can count on being treated with unwavering respect and empathy during our sessions. Rest assured, there's nothing more significant to me than supporting you on your path to healing and self-discovery.

Levi Rapoport's approach

I believe deeply in human potential and one’s ability to see oneself beyond their behaviors and thoughts. Using Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, I teach people to second guess the unhelpful rules they have written in their personal constitution.

My goal is to put people in the driver’s seat of their lives, to determine their own future regardless of their past, and to maximize their own potential.

I use mindfulness to help people distinguish themselves from their thoughts and feelings, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to change the way they feel by changing how they think, and to develop unconditional self-acceptance. Unhealthy and unhelpful negative emotions are replaced with healthy and helpful emotions which drive us to reach higher.

What you can expect from sessions with Levi Rapoport

I will be warm, humorous, and empowering throughout our journey together. Using a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, we will collaborate to provide you with a rich toolbox to conquer any challenges that may arise in your path. Through understanding, empathy, and wholehearted acceptance, we will establish a secure and inviting space where we can delve deep into exploring what truly drives and motivates you. Our sessions will be an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and building resilience.

Levi Rapoport's experience working with the Jewish community

As a member of the religious community myself, I possess a profound understanding of its intricate dynamics and the distinctive challenges it presents. Over the years, I've gathered extensive experience working closely with Jewish clients, and I'm enthusiastic about continuing to extend my support to more individuals within this community in the future. My commitment to serving the needs of this community is unwavering, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to contribute to the well-being and growth of those I work with.
