Why James Levine and Associates, P.C.?

"Results of a large-scale study looking at 4th, 7th, and 10th graders indicated that higher levels of school [connectedness] and better social, emotional, and decision-making skills were related to higher test scores and higher grades. Lower test scores and lower grades were predicted by elevated levels of attention problems, negative behavior of peers, and disruptive and aggressive behavior.” (Fleming et al., 2005)

James Levine & Associates, P.C., (JLA) was founded in 1998 by James E. Levine, Ph.D., LICSW. JLA is a consulting and mental health company that has specialized in helping children with:

  • Disruptive behavioral disorders
