ABOUT DR. LEVY
I am the Co-Director and Founder of North Jersey Psychology Associates which is a private practice that specializes in the treatment of OCD and Anxiety Disorders. I currently lead a team of accomplished professionals who also specialize in treating OCD and Anxiety Disorders. Those who join my practice receive intensive training and are either currently supervised by me or were previously supervised by me.
Prior to starting my own private practice in 2017, I had received extensive training from a world-renowned expert in the treatment of OCD at the esteemed Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy. In addition to providing high quality psychological services to many individuals at the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy, I previously established an innovative online OCD support group and was fortunate to co-found a comprehensive intensive treatment program for individuals with OCD.
My pre-doctoral internship experience concentrated on working primarily with children and adolescents facing a variety of challenges. Child-focused treatment took place in home-based and in-school environments. During this time, I delivered effective individual and family therapy and conducted comprehensive cognitive and personality evaluations.
I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Hofstra University during which I produced research in the field of relationships, sexual behavior and sexual dysfunction. I have presented my research at national and international conferences. While the majority of my time is devoted to providing therapy and running my practice, I am also currently functioning as the Vice President of OCD New Jersey. I work within a behavioral framework which is goal-directed, skills-focused and solution-oriented. I believe in fostering self-change by allying with individuals and creating a supportive relationship in order for those I collaborate with to reach their potential. The application of skills within Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, aligned with a compassionate, trusting relationship is at the core of successful therapy outcomes.

Jessica Tauber, Ph.D.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in working with children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with OCD, anxiety, and related concerns. I earned my Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, completed my clinical psychology internship at Dell Children’s Medical Center/Texas Child Study Center, and went on to complete a postdoctoral fellowship at Capital OCD and Anxiety Practice (COAP). I worked at COAP for several years as a licensed psychologist before relocating to New Jersey. I am licensed in New Jersey, maintain my clinical license in Texas, and participate in PSYPACT, which allows me to provide virtual therapy to families in many participating states. I am a certified Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) therapist and am trained in Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), including specialized training for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
​
In my work with families, I take a warm, collaborative, and team-based approach. I believe therapy works best when children, teens, and caregivers feel understood, supported, and empowered. I focus on helping young people build confidence, reduce anxiety, and move toward lives guided by their values, while also supporting parents in feeling more confident and effective in their role. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based care and primarily draws from cognitive-behavioral approaches, always tailored to each child and family’s unique needs and goals.
​
I have extensive experience treating anxiety and OCD across outpatient and hospital settings, providing care in individual, group, and family formats. My background includes working in multidisciplinary medical environments, such as a partial hospitalization program for youth with eating disorders, a specialized headache and pain program for youth with chronic migraine, and a primary care clinic focused on prevention and brief intervention. These experiences have shaped my thoughtful, flexible approach to care—especially for children with complex needs or overlapping medical and emotional concerns.
​
I am deeply committed to helping parents feel supported, informed, and less alone as they navigate their child’s anxiety, while fostering growth, resilience, and independence in the children I work with.
