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.

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.

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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Bethlehem, PA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Bethlehem, PA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
