My practice addresses a wide range of psychological concerns, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, relationship difficulties, stress-related issues, social anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I am committed to providing effective treatment using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other specialized methods to help individuals navigate these challenges.Having earned my Ph.D. from Hofstra University and completed an advanced Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, I have received extensive training that distinguishes me from many other psychologists. I was also honored to join the Editorial Board of the Journal of Behavior Therapy & Experimental Psychiatry. In addition to my private practice in Beverly Hills, I have held roles such as Clinical Psychologist at UCLA's School of Medicine and Chief Psychologist at Mt. Sinai South-Nassau Medical Center in New York. As a licensed professional in multiple states, including California, Florida, Hawaii, and Kansas, I continue to provide Telehealth services to clients across these regions, ensuring that care remains accessible, private, and convenient, regardless of my location.

Report
Dr. Bruce Levine treated my son for OCD and depression. From day 1, I was impressed his true care for his patients. His deep knowledge and precise communication offered great comfort to my son and myself. My son's OCD symptom essentially disappeared after two months or so. For his depression, Dr. Levine recommended local psychologist who can treat him face to face, and he made sure my son is well covered until the transition. I wish every doctor cares about his patients as much as Dr. Levine does.

Best psychologist in Beverly Hills! Was able to seem him promptly and was very flexible in scheduling appointments. He has extensive knowledge in the field and is more qualified than his counterparts. He was very easy-going and always listened without judgement. I finished therapy making a friend and great leaps in my OCD treatment!
