Eric Lebowitz(He/Him/His)

Eric brings his passion for music and dedication to mindfulness to each therapy session to best help those with whom he works. He specializes in work with seniors suffering with the emotional, physical and cognitive difficulties of age-related illnesses, such as Alzheimers. He believes that creativity and music bring seniors to the present moment and offers the chance for expression, joy, and healing.

He also works with care-partners of seniors with dementia related illnesses, providing online counseling and dementia-care coaching. Grief is painful, there is no denying that. Through support in the process of reconciling grief and gratitude, joy can once again be experienced.

Eric’s style incorporates music and mindfulness into building a therapeutic relationship that is tailored to the individual. In sessions with Eric, a participant of therapy might engage in songwriting, singing, listening, and/or practicing mindful meditations to cultivate moments of joy, creativity, and self-expression to ease pain, stress, and grief. For seniors, these moments validate their unique identity as a person and not as their illness, and foster feelings of joy, agency, and self-compassion. For care-partners, the therapeutic relationship allows moments to process difficult emotions, learn best practices in dementia care, and create self-care practices that really work.
