Join us for LADN's Caregiver Support Group facilitated by clinical psychologist Dr. Samantha Levy! 

We welcome all dysautonomia caregivers (parents, spouses, friends, family, etc.) living in California to attend. The caregiver group is a space for open and supportive discussion related to caring for an individual with dysautonomia. We ask that patients please utilize our other offerings instead of attending this group. Patients are welcome at the monthly support group that typically occurs on the 4th Saturday of the month.

About Dr. Samantha Levy:

Samantha Levy, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist who received her Ph.D. from Georgia State University in the Child and Family specialty track. During her clinical, child centered internship at UCLA, she became involved with the Pediatric Pain Program. Subsequently, she obtained her postdoctoral training there. Depending on the specific situation, Dr. Levy works either with whole families, individual children/teens/young adults, or parents. She employs an array of psychological orientations (e.g. CBT, play therapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, ACT, IFS), to help the children/teens with their pain and any accompanying emotional issues. She helps the families understand the connection between the physical pain and emotional difficulties (mind/body connection). She teaches parenting skills and helps parents facilitate their child’s difficult, courageous journey back to functioning more fully in the world again. Dr. Levy runs multiple parent groups at the nonprofit Creative Healing for Youth in Pain (CHYP). She is also a contributor to the CHYP parent blog.
