Dr. Joshua Levy

Joshua Levy is therapist on staff at the Robbins Headache Clinic and Associate Faculty at the Chicago Center for Family Health in Chicago. Dr. Levy is a certified biofeedback therapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago, School of Social Service Administration. He is past Fellow of the Family Systems Program at the Chicago Center for Family Health and graduate of the Family Systems Program at the University of Illinois, Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Levy received advanced training in biofeedback therapy with the Stens Corporation in San Rafael California, the leading provider of advanced biofeedback training. He is a member of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, Biofeedback Society of Illinois, American Family Therapy Academy, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and National Association of Social Workers.

Dr. Levy specializes in treatment of headache, anxiety disorders (including panic attacks, generalized anxiety, phobias, OCD, and PTSD); depression; childhood anxiety, ADHD, and defiant disorders; and couples therapy. He has developed a combined treatment approach that often integrates biofeedback training to reduce physiological stress that fuels headaches and anxiety, cognitive therapy to address patterns in thinking that contribute to problems in mood and anxiety, and systems approaches to address relationship patterns linked to problems. The approach is evidence-based, drawing from studies that show which kinds of therapy works best with specific presenting problems. His recent publications include an article on family therapy theory and practice in the journal Family Process (March, 2006) and an interview in the magazine Chicago Parent on childhood ADHD (April, 2006).
