Evaluators & Clinicians

David Levin, LCSW-C

David M. Levin, LCSW-C,  has over 30 years of private clinical experience working with teens and young adults. He received his undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland and his Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania.

David received his graduate training at the Addiction Research Center in Philadelphia as well as the Veterans Administration Hospital, working with veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, and substance abuse. His postgraduate training was at Miami Children’s Hospital in Miami, Florida. He has extensive knowledge and experience working with ADHD, as well as substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder.

David previously owned Adolescent Intervention Services for over 16 years, a clinically engaged transport company, accompanying over 1,500 patients to therapeutic treatment programs. It was during this time that he cultivated relationships with many different programs, where he continues to maintain active contact and visit regularly.

In 2014, David was co-founder and Clinical Director of North Star Academy, which provided day treatment for adolescents who were returning from environments such as wilderness and residential treatment along with psychiatric and other partial hospital and day treatment programs.

David is known for his ability to connect with his clients and their families in a direct, caring and compassionate therapeutic relationship. The premise of his therapy is cognitive behavioral techniques with relational and meaningful interaction, where the client is heard and provided feedback to help him/her in their journey. He works collaboratively with parents, educators and other care providers to engage in the most collaborative, effective treatment for his clients.

David provides crisis intervention in a multitude of settings including home and school. He offers home visits and makes himself available 24/7 for his patients and crisis services. He is particularly knowledgeable and experienced in working with treatment-resistant youth and failure to launch young adults.

David and his wife have seven children. Together they have fostered over 12 children in Montgomery County, Maryland for ten years. Although he and his wife are no longer foster parents, they did adopt four children and are proud parents of 4 girls and 3 boys. In his spare time, he enjoys coaching his children in their related sports and fishing.
