Mara Levy

You deserve healing care that welcomes your whole self - care that’s fat positive, queer and trans affirming, anti-racist, kink and polyamory friendly, pagan welcoming, and generally anti-oppression. You can reach the sustainable and expansive life you’ve been dreaming of, that brings you joy and makes the world around you better. I’m here to help you get there.

Hi! I’m Mara Levy, and my pronouns are they/them. I’m a licensed occupational therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and certified lymphedema specialist. I want to build a better world, with more justice, safety, and joy for us all. I think an important way to get there is to heal ourselves, and heal those around us. When we heal our trauma and learn to embrace all of who we are, we can find the freedom to build the life we want. I'm here to help.

My practice of Somatic Experiencing includes talk therapy, bodywork, lymphatic drainage massage, and co-creating better routines and strategies for your daily life. As an occupational therapist, I'm particularly interested in how you're able to function in your day to day life - if you can't do the things you care about, I want to figure out what we can change to get you there.

After practicing as an occupational therapist since 2005, I'm well suited to help with medical trauma and chronic health conditions. I understand how the medical-industrial complex can be traumatizing to access, and the ways that chronic pain, fatigue, and other issues can affect your whole life.

I love working with the LGBTQ+ and trans communities, as I'm queer and genderqueer myself. People who have been pushed out of mainstream acceptability - people of the global majority, people with larger bodies, and other survivors of oppression -  are also  particularly welcome.

Office visits are available in Silver Spring, MD and online visits are available to people in DC, MD, and VA. If you're interested in talking to see whether we might be a good fit together, free online curiosity calls can be scheduled on my website.
