About
If you feel alone, like nobody understands you, and you don't know where to start, you and I can take a journey together to explore and face your abyss.
Hello, this is Jung. I was born and grew up in another country. I came to America as a young adult. It is hard to adjust and settle in a different environment. Sometimes life throws us into a totally different world. If you are lost and want to find a way, we can take a journey together. I find happiness when you find yourself. I studied at Lehigh University and worked in different locations (school, family, hospital, and outpatient). I hope my experience can help you find your way.
I believe my clients know their own ways to make progress. I provide the space for clients to find themselves with validation and approval. Sometimes I challenge clients to face their fears so we can overcome them together.
Sometimes it is painful and scary to face our abyss. If you allow me to explore, I will be honored to take steps with you.

I believe the strategies that once helped us survive difficult experiences can, over time, keep us stuck and I help clients see the resilience in those patterns, understand where they came from, and build something new in their place.
I'm Jenn Levito, MS, LAPC, and I believe you don't have to navigate difficult seasons of life alone. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and more, bringing specialized training in Trauma-Focused CBT and Prolonged Exposure to help alleviate symptoms and build lasting change. Many clients are looking for a safe place to process their experiences, better understand themselves, and find a path forward. Together, we build on their strengths and work toward greater confidence, connection, and meaningful change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I’ll meet you where you are, help you make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build on the strengths you already have. Together, we’ll develop practical tools and work toward greater confidence, connection, and meaningful change.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Wherever you are in your journey, we can take the next steps together. I invite you to schedule an appointment when you’re ready.

As someone who has experienced significant adversity and obstacles in my own life, I understand what it means to keep showing up for yourself, and I bring that lived perspective into my work with compassion, empathy, and a genuine belief in each person’s ability to heal and grow.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I work with teens, adults, and couples who may be feeling stuck, questioning their self-worth, struggling to understand themselves or their relationships, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life. I also support clients who are working through relationship difficulties, seeking to repair and strengthen connections, or learning how to establish healthy and meaningful boundaries.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I help you identify patterns, strengthen self-worth, improve communication, and develop boundaries. You can expect a safe space where you're honest while working toward meaningful goals. I tailor my approach to your pace, helping you gain insight, build confidence, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when handling things alone. You don't need to have everything figured out. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin making sense of what you've been carrying. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, understood, and more connected to the person you want to become.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Erin: My go-to approach for helping individuals struggling with PTSD or past trauma is cognitive behavioral therapy with consistent and strong validation for their experiences.
Jami: My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is using a mix of CBT and inner child work. I find this helps clients not only cope with present symptoms of PTSD, but also heal the root cause of those symptoms on a deeper, emotional level.
Erin: In treating PTSD, I help clients face and process their trauma while teaching clients distress tolerance relaxation exercises. In processing their trauma, I help clients identify the beliefs they have generated around their experiences, assess the accuracy of those beliefs, reflect on how those beliefs may be impacting their lives, and modify those beliefs as needed to move forward more effectively from the trauma.
Jami: I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy:
Erin: I know that clients are making meaningful progress in a few ways. First, I can usually tell by the way in which clients are talking about their experiences. I can hear when the tools we discuss are being applied in a way that expands their perspective and helps them to manage their symptoms more effectively. Second, clients typically tell me that they are feeling better with a reduction in the severity of their negative symptoms. Third, I see progress through the increase of goal-directed behaviors over time. These signs of progress make this job so incredibly rewarding!
Jami: I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they have a better grasp on the root of their trauma, can successfully use grounding skills, and are open to exploring and talking about their trauma for the goal of healing.
Erin: Individuals can supplement their time in trauma therapy with meditation, physical movement, bibliotherapy, and support groups as needed.
Jami: Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with daily practice of grounding skills, journaling, and engaging in healthy self-care outlets. I also share podcast and book recommendations with my clients that align with what we're learning in session to help supplement therapy and assist between visits.
Erin: No preparation needed! Come as you are.
Jami: To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can take a deep breath and know that we won't jump all in at once. We'll take calculated baby steps with a lot of support to create a safe environment of challenge in small steps toward healing.
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events.

Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
