Corinne J. Lewkowicz, Ph.D. (she/her/hers)
I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts (#10842) and Maryland (#05964). I received my doctorate in Developmental Psychology from the Pennsylvania State University and my Certificate of Respecialization in Clinical Psychology from William James College (Newton, MA). I have worked in a wide range of settings, including public schools (elementary through high school), college-based, Department of Public Health hospital-based, clinic-based, and group and private practices. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, including ethnic, racial, religious, and socioeconomic.
My current work focuses on adolescents, college students and/or young adults (also called emerging or transitioning adults), and adults of all ages. My practice is a general one, meaning I work with individuals facing a wide range of concerns. My primary areas of emphasis include anxiety, depression, concerns about stage-of-life changes, gender identity, and sexual orientation (LGBTQIA+).
Theoretical Orientation
Everyone has strengths, and part of our job is to help you identifyand use your strengths as you explore and adjust your life to be what you want it to be. Using a blend of theories, including Psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (among others), I will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan, in which we establish goals you would like to accomplish and check-in regularly to see the progress we are making on them. We will collaborate on your journey, in a safe, caring space.
I believe that all feelings, thoughts, and behaviors make sense in the context in which they developed. I also believe that therapy is a journey, and our job on this journey is to examine your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, understand where they came from, and figure out if they continue to serve you in the present. Because of my background in Developmental Psychology, I think it is important to explore the experiences that led to your ways of being in the world today. It is also important to develop effective coping strategies to deal with today’s difficulties.
