Meet Kristen Mulheren Levitt, MS, LCSW
Building a family and navigating reproductive milestones can bring up deep, complex emotions. As a highly specialized infertility psychotherapist, I have committed my career to the vital field of reproductive mental health. I bring true clinical expertise and over 26 years of experience to guiding individuals and couples through the intricate and emotional landscapes of infertility, third party reproduction, pregnancy, postpartum life and hormonal transitions.
My Clinical Background and Credentials
I have been practicing as a therapist for over 26 years, establishing my private practice, Integrative Psychotherapy, in 2010. I provide specialized in person therapy locally in Colts Neck, Monmouth County, NJ and hold licenses to offer virtual telehealth sessions for clients across NJ and FL.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW): State of New Jersey
LCSW Telehealth Registration: State of Florida
Advanced Post Graduate Training: Ongoing, extensive study in infertility counseling, third party reproduction, perinatal and reproductive mental health.
National Leadership and Professional Affiliations
To ensure my clients receive the absolute highest standard of care, I actively remain at the forefront of the reproductive medicine field. I attend national infertility conferences annually, and participate in monthly peer teleconferences to consistently align my practice with the latest evidence-based clinical developments.
American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM): Active Member.
Mental Health Professional Group (MHPG) of ASRM: Active Member and have proudly served for several years as an elected committee member.

Trusted Medical Partnerships
Because reproductive health journeys involve both mind and body, I collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary network of reproductive endocrinologists, OB/GYNs, midwives, prescribers, doulas, pelvic floor physical therapists and acupuncturists throughout the area.
